Mehmas ex Always Thankful colt

Race entries

THE DREAM TICKET 

If you’re looking for high class, high octane, 2yo with precocious speed .... Then a 24th January foaled, Mehmas colt out of a winning Showcasing mare is the dream ticket we’d suggest! Send the stunning, fabulous, loose moving colt to the multiple Royal Ascot and multiple Group 1 winning 2yo trainer Richard Fahey and the recipe is complete? 

Tally Ho’s stallion MEHMAS was big in the news again. Having now sired 15th Group Winners and five individual Group 1 winners, most recently at The BREEDRS CUP JUVENILE TURF SPRINT when Magnum Force storms through the field to land the juvenile Grade 1. In the Group 1 National Stakes, it was Scorthy Champ who powered to victory, before VERTICAL BLUE landed the Group 1 Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac - Criterium des Pouliches on L'Arc de Triomphe weekend. His consistent daughter Believing keeps confirming her quality with another close 3rd in the Group 1 Prix de l'Abbaye after a fantastic season which inludes the Group 1 Nunthorpe, and a 2nd in the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes behind Bradsell. She is a Group 2 winner over course and distance in the Sapphire Stakes. Mehmas has sired 60 individual 2-year-old winners so far this season, also includes Group 2 Flying Childers Stakes scorer Aesterius, who added the Doncaster contest to his earlier Group 3 Prix d'Arenberg win.

Let’s not just focus on the sires involved though, let’s extrapolate out to the distaff, analysing further why we could have a top class horse on our hands - let’s give a nod to ALWAYS THANKFUL, the winning Showcasing mare, from whence this gorgeous colt descends, she’s already produced the high class, black type performer NIBRAS ANGEL and she hails from a very speedy and classy family that contains over a dozen, close relative, Group performers. 

£55,000 is a typical spend for us, to unearth a top class horse i.e. the middle market of £35,000 to £65,000 -  a particular sweet spot for MPR - which includes CHAMPION EUROPEAN 2yo Toormore, Shouldvebeenaring, The Platinum Queen & The Strikin Viking to name but a few.

There’d be little surprise were this colt to come to hand super early. He possesses all the hallmarks that would make it possible. Furthermore, mid-season York or Ascot targets with a focus on Harry’s Half Million could clearly be on the agenda - none too shabby to be running in a race affording the winner £308,000 and even the 10th horse a considerable £15,410 remuneration. The lucrative Weatherby's Super Sprint another possible mid-summer target.
