Brighthill Farm's promising young sire Dalghar (Fr) added another Australian winner to his tally with an impressive debut victory at Newcastle on Saturday for the James Cummings trained colt Power Law. He made light of the opposition to score a dominant length and three-quarter win in the 1350 metre maiden. Power Law was a $67,500 NZB Ready to Run Sale purchase for DGR Thoroughbreds from the Brighthill Farm draft and is the first winner for Philippa Chelsea, a half-sister by Viscount to the dam of Group II winner Obsession. Further back in the pedigree is 2015 European Horse of the Year Golden Horn, so it seems likely Power Law will be even better over further. A Group winning half-brother by Anabaa to Group I sires Dalakhani and Daylami, Dalghar has made an encouraging start to his stud career with five winners in Europe from his first small crop that are now three year-olds and five in Australia/New Zealand, where they have just turned three. His five local winners including Stakes winning and NZ's 1600m record breaking 2YO Filly Astara have come from just 11 runners in Australia/ New Zealand, so it's been an eye-catching start. (In the last four weeks he's sired three Australian winners - Golden Organic, Queen's Parade and now Power Law) Dalghar's 2016 Stud fee is $8,000 + gst. As expected his book is filling fast, please contact Brighthill Farm if you wish to reserve a 2016 breeding nomination! |
