Jakkalberry relative shows staying power

Chasedown (3c Nathaniel-Whipcla) won the Premio Roma Vecchia (Listed, 2800m) in Rome yesterday to provide Nathaniel (Galileo) with his fifth stakes winner. The colt, who was fourth in the St Leger Italiano (Gr 3, 2800m) at his last start, beat Shamshad (Sea The Stars) by a neck under Dario Vargiu, with a break of nine lengths back to Menuhin (Mujahid) in a distant third.
Chasedown’s dam Whipcla is a half-sister to Jakkalberry’s dam Claba Di San Jore.

Marco Botti - One of Britain's leading trainers

Says of Jakkalberry :

"Intelligent, excellent temperament, handsomely athletic with good physical conformation, speed to go."
"Courage, class and stamina are the attributes that saw Jakkalberry a Champion in, Italy (2010 and 2011) and Great Britain (2012)."
"A real pleasure to train and should Jakkalberry's foals inherit his qualities, then I can see him being a Champion at stud too."

Says of Sweynesse :

"He was awesome. We got back in a slowly run race so his (sectional) splits
would have been amazing."

Hugh Bowman - Jockey

Says of Sweynesse :

"I was really pleased with First Seal but full credit to Sweynesse, I thought I had the race in my keeping. My filly wasn’t dying on her run but the colt picked me up and put me away."
