Celebration for Shamardal at Goodwood

Bow Creek wins the G2 feature

Shamardal's three-year-old son Bow Creek added to Darley stallions impressive record in the G2 Celebration Mile when making all the running in the Goodwood feature. Won by two of our current roster in 2008 and 2010 through Raven's Pass (who also sired a G3 winner on the card) and Poet's Voice, two of the past three runnings prior to today had also gone to sons of Dubawi in Dubawi Gold and Afsare.

Bow Creek has now won two stakes races after a win in the Listed International Trial Stakes at Lingfield Park back in April.

Bred by Roundhill Stud and sold as a yearling for 130,000Gns, Bow Creek is a half-brother to Group colt Dare To Dream and out of the G3-winning mare Beneventa (Most Welcome).

Shamardal has now sired 11 Group winners this year including top-flight scorers Mukhadram and Dan Excel, progressive French G2-winning filly Fintry, and fellow G2-winners Sommerabend and Excellent Result.
