Multiple group winner Point Lonsdale (Ire) (Australia {GB}) has been sold and will stand at the Jacobs family’s Maine Chance Farms in South Africa later this year, according to published reports. The 6-year-old’s fee will be announced later.
Trained by Aidan O’Brien, Point Lonsdale would go on to be named a ‘TDN Rising Star’ when winning his debut, and quickly added the Listed Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot, the G3 Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown and the G2 Futurity Stakes. He was second in the G1 National Stakes, and, after running unplaced in the G1 2000 Guineas, did not return until he was four. He won both the G2 Huxley Stakes and G3 Alleged Stakes and was placed in the G1 Coronation Cup. Kept in training at five, he landed the G3 Ormonde Stakes and an additional top-level placing in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. He retires with a mark of 20-7-1-4 and $906,260 in earnings.
Bred by Epona Bloodstock, the bay is out of dual stakes winner Sweepstake (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), who was second in the GIII Appalachian Stakes and third in the G3 Princess Margaret Stakes during her career. Offered by Croom House Stud out of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, Point Lonsdale caught the eye of Coolmore’s MV Magnier to the tune of 575,000gns. His full-brother is Group 1 winner Broome (Ire), while he is also a half-brother to G2 Solonaway Stakes, G2 Champions Stakes and G3 Meld Stakes hero and fellow ‘Rising Star’ Diego Velazquez (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), who both also raced for the Coolmore partners.
