WHITSBURY Manor Stud’s record for making stallions in recent years has been nothing short of phenomenal. Now they must be wondering can they do it again with a Group 3 winner whose first yearlings sold like hotcakes, and whose first two runners are winners.

Sergei Prokofiev’s son Arizona Blaze gave him the perfect start when he won at the Curragh on the opening day of the flat season in Ireland, while Flicka’s Girl won by almost five lengths on her debut at Wolverhampton on Monday. This could not be a better start at stud, and he will be well represented too.
