BEST ONE was purchased by the Hollywood Syndicate at the 2019 KZN Yearling Sale. He is a colt by new sire on the block Coup De Grace, out of the Kingmambo Mare Kelly’s Olympics. He is the 9th foal from this incredibly successful mare and the a late one at that, having arrived as a November foal.
Name: BEST ONE
Sex: Chestnut Colt
Foaled: 14/11/2017
Sire: Coup De Grace
Mare: Kelly’s Olympics (Kingmambo) USA
Breeder: Ridgemont Highlands stud
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Purchased: KZN Yearling Sale 2019
Pedigree: View here
Status: Retired
From a strong speed family, he is the brother to black-type winners including OLYMPIC OWEN, SPEEDY SUZY, Fly Phillippa and Dame Kelly. Being by a stallion who excelled over the 1200-1600m, he should be following in his families footsteps as far as his preferred trip is concerned. A great mover, he should come to hand early.
UPDATE
August 14th, 2019
He has settled in well at home and is continuing to mature nicely. Below is a recent photo of him after one of his afternoon walks.
July 8th, 2019
He has just arrived at back at Clinton Binda’s farm, where he will have time to mature over the next few months before he is broken in.
