Varsfontein Stud’s Judpot has made a tremendous start to his stud career.
Represented by his first crop of 2yos this season, Judpot has had three runners to date, for two winners and a placed horse.
Judpot’s most recent winner came on Wednesday, when his son Juddering Angel made a winning debut at Kenilworth, defeating a large field of well bred juveniles in the process.
The unraced Judpot is one of the best bred stallions standing at stud in South Africa.
His sire, A P Indy, was Horse of the Year in the US, and subsequently headed the US general sires list twice. To date, A P Indy has sired over 120 stakes winners, including a host of top-class feature race winners. He has sired such Gr1 winners as Aptitude, Bernardini, Mineshaft, Secret Status, Rags to Riches and Tempera, to name a few. A P Indy’s leading sire sons include Pulpit, Malibu Moon, Mineshaft and Bernardini.
Judpot is out of the great racemare Miesque, whose 10 G1 wins include two scores in the Gr1 Breeders Cup Mile. Miesque produced five stakes winners, including French classic winners East of the Moon and Kingmambo. The latter, in turn, became a world leading sire of 80 stakes winners.
Kingmambo’s champions include King’s Best, El Condor Pasa, Henrythenavigator, Lemon Drop Kid and King Kamehameha – all of whom have enjoyed successful stud careers.
Judpot stands at Varsfontein for a stud fee of R20,000.
