Fifteen for Teofilo

Pembrey breaks his Maiden at Newmarket

Teofilo sired his fifteenth winner on Wednesday October 19, when his son Pembrey won the second division of the mile maiden at Newmarket. Making his second start for Mahmood Al Zarooni, he raced close to the pace before asserting in the dip, and battling on gamely to score by a short-head.

Bred by Hascombe And Valiant Studs and sold for 200,000Gns as a yearling, he is out of the Primo Dominie mare Miss Penton, who has already produced G2 Royal Lodge winner, Leo.

Teofilo has sired four Stakes winners from his impressive first crop. Parish Hall emulated his sire by taking the G1 Dewhurst Stakes, while Remember Alexander beat the boys in the G3 Tyros Stakes, and Parish Hall’s stable companion Teolane won a Listed race at Naas. In Germany, Black Arrow is an unbeaten Stakes winner after landing the Preis des Union Gestuts on his second start. Teofilo has eclipsed the totals for both winners and stakes winners that his sire and grandsire, Galileo and Sadler’s Wells, both achieved with their first full year of runners.

Teofilo is standing this season for $22,000 (Inc. GST) at Kelvinside, NSW.
