The Yorton Stallions

Gr.1 producing sire with a terrific ratio of winners to runners - currently 50% in Britain and Ireland. Son of Sadler's Wells out of an Alleged mare.

Linda's Lad

Linda’s Lad is a Group One winner over ten furlongs on soft ground as a two-year-old, before proving a high-class performer at three and four. He is out of an Alleged mare and has passed on his ability to his progeny, getting black-type winners.

In addition to the Gr.2 winners over jumps Cash Back and Tout Est Permis his progeny include the Gr.1 winners Draconien (trainer Willie Mullins) and L’Estran (Guy Cherel), the very smart young hurdler Jatiluwih and his stablemates at Philip Hobbs’ yard Ecu De La Noverie and Keep Moving, plus Graeme McPherson’s multiple winner over hurdles Daydream Aulmes.
