From the Desk of Bill Oppenheim 06/02/13 – Clodovil one of three European sires not to be overlooked.

 

“Ireland’s Rathasker Stud stands Clodovil, a grey son of Danehill out of a Linamix mare, bred and raced by the Lagadere family, for whom he won the 2003 G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains, defeating Catcher in the Rye. He's not a sire who has big numbers going for him, but what he does have can be pretty effective. Though he had just 10 ABC Runners last year, two were A Runners, and seven were B Runners. As you can see, he has a very good 2.51 B Runner Index. His two A Runners last year were both 3-year-olds: the colt Gregorian, who placed in the G1 St James's Palace S. and G1 Prix Jean Prat; and the filly Laugh Out Loud, who won the G2 Prix de Sandringham in France.”
