Mount Nelson half-sisters to Speciosa and Equiano
Mount Nelson’s recent first foals include half-sisters to both 2006 1,000 Guineas heroine Speciosa and 2008 Kings Stand Stakes victor, Equiano.
The dam of the 1,000 Guineas winner Speciosa, Specifically (Sky Classic), had a bay filly on Monday 25th January. A dam of seven winners, also including the Grade 3 winner Major Rhythm, Specifically is the half-sister to dual Champion mare Pride. Meanwhile, Equiano’s dam, Entente Cordiale (Ela Mana Mou) produced a filly last Thursday evening (28th January).
Newsells’ general manager, Julian Dollar, said: “We couldn’t be happier with what we have seen and heard about the first few Mount Nelson foals, particularly these two lovely fillies. They both have strength, scope and masses of quality. If first indications are anything to go by, Mount Nelson is certainly stamping his stock. All have very attractive, well-marked heads and are very correct for such early foals."
Sue Elsdon of Northmore Stud was also delighted with their recent foal by Mount Nelson out of Fabulous Speed (Silver Hawk), a winning daughter of Gr.2 winner, Fabulous Hostess, commenting: “She’s very strong, smart, good looking and mature. If this foal is anything to go by, then hopefully it’s a very good sign for Mount Nelson”.
Mount Nelson will be on parade at Tattersalls on Thursday 4th February, where we also have bacon butties and hot dogs for visitors to our hospitality box!
