Antonin Dvorak

A son of one of the leading young sires in Europe at present, this strong, athletic colt looked a real bargain when purchased at the Tattersalls Online Sale in November for a group of our owners and we are very excited about his prospects for 2024 and beyond.

He is a half-brother to Perfect Poise, a Kodiac filly that won over a mile last year and went on to record a Racing Post Rating of 88 when runner-up at Navan in October.  A second foal, our new acquisition is out of the classy mare Elegant Pose, who won three of her four starts at three, winning the Listed Garnet Stakes at Naas.  She went on to get placed at Group 3 level from her two starts at four, achieving a career-high rating of 102.

Elegant Pose is from a fine family, being a half-sister to two further black-type performers, notably Group 3 winner Brendan Brackan.

Sire New Bay commands a fee of €75,000, having established himself as one of the most exciting young sires in Europe.  His progeny include Group 1 winners Bay Bridge, Saffron Beach and Bayside Boy, and he was the sire of 14 stakes horses in 2023 alone, including three Group 1-placed juveniles.

Antonin Dvorak is in full training with Karl Burke and we are hoping he will be ready to start off on the racecourse in midsummer.
