Wootton Bassett x Precious Lorraine

This colt boasts one of the deepest and most commercial pedigrees in the sale, being by world-class sire Wootton Bassett out of the outstanding racemare and well-bred Precious Lorraine. 

Wootton Bassett established himself as one of the most influential stallions in the world, with 75 stakes winners and 19 Group 1 winners, including sire Almanzor, Audarya, Al Riffa, Henri Matisse, Whirl and many more. His Australian-bred progeny are already making a strong impact, adding further commercial appeal and global relevance to this colt’s profile.

The dam, Precious Lorraine, was a high-class racemare herself, winning the SA Fillies Classic (Gr.3) and the VRC Gibson Carmichael S. (L), and placing in Group company. She is a sister to Lucky Raquie (Black Opal S. L winner) and a three-quarter sister to multiple Group 1 sires and performers including Manhattan Rain, Rubick and Echoes Of Heaven. This is a family synonymous with elite performers and stallion production.

Her production record further strengthens this colt’s appeal. From five runners, she has produced four winners, including Meuse (Snitzel) — winner of the SAJC Laelia S. (L) and placed in the VRC Vanity S. (Gr.3) — and Quraysha, Quinlan and Wedding Planner.

The second dam Monsoon Wedding (Danehill), a Group-placed juvenile, is a full sister to Champion Sire Redoute’s Choice and Platinum Scissors, and closely related to Al Maher, Manhattan Rain, Rubick and the outstanding broodmare The Broken Shore, producer of Shoals and Groundswell. 

This is one of the most prolific and respected families in the Australian Stud Book.

With a world-leading sire, an elite racemare dam, and a powerhouse female family, Lot 689 represents an outstanding opportunity to secure a colt of the highest genetic quality with exceptional commercial and racing appeal.
