Redden Thoroughbreds is excited to announce that great value sire Delago
Deluxe will be standing at Queensland's Lucas Bloodstock for the 2019 breeding
season.
A striking $550,000 yearling, Delago Deluxe caught the attention of Lucas
Bloodstock as a great value proposition for Queensland breeders given his
record as a Group 1 winning 2YO and 3YO that carries the renowned Encosta de Lago
bloodline.
Lucas Bloodstock will be standing Delago Deluxe at an introductory service fee of $4,4000 (including GST) for the 2019 breeding season and will also offer a multiple mare discount.
"Delago Deluxe has a beautiful physique and carries the real stamp of Encosta de
Lago who we all know was a superior athlete," said Lucas Bloodstock's Ben
Lucas.
"His race record was very impressive, winning on seven occasions out of 13
races and was a Group 1 winning 2YO and 3YO.
"He has already sired 27 winners this season alone and every week there is a
consistent amount of winners and placegetters.
"He's a horse that can produce good types that will run on from two to three-years-old."
Delago Deluxe's pedigree is well-known to Australian breeders, with his grand
dam being the wonderful mare Staging, who is the six-time Group winning dam of
Tickets, Duporth and Excites, who have all gone to sire Group winners.
"He's by a proven sire of sires and the fact he is now standing at Lucas
Bloodstock at an introductory offer of $4,400 with a multiple mare discount, he
is really great value for money."
Bred by Gerry Harvey's Baramul Stud, Delago Deluxe was sold to South African interests as a $550,000 yearling at the 2010 Magic Millions sales.
He stormed onto the scene in South Africa, winning his first four starts including his first Group 1 at start No.4 in the Group 1 Medallion.
At aged three, he won the Group 1 Golden Horse Casino Sprint (1200m) which is regarded as being equivalent to Australia's Newmarket Handicap.
At stud, some of his recent successes include the Stakes-placed Casa de Lago, Warracknabeal Cup winner Revlis, lightly raced runaway Ascot winner Velago, the talented three-year-olds Diver, Dram Of Delago and Total Excess and the exciting two-year-olds Miss Geneva, Hankstar and Sukwhinder.
