Sadler's Wells

[Godspot]

Stumbled across this site last night which I thought could prove handy while his offspring look set to dominate the stallion charts....

SADLER'S WELLS

b - 1981 - Northern Dancer (Can) - Fairy Bridge (USA)

Sadler's Wells won six of his eleven starts from 7f to 10f including the Group 1 Airlie -Coolmore Irish 2000 Guineas, Coral Eclipse Stakes and Phoenix Champion Stakes. He was second in the Group 1 Prix Du Jockey Club and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes

Under normal circumstances Sadler's Wells would be remembered as the high-class racehorse that his form merited but his place in history was to change as he went on to become a phenomenon in the breeding world of Europe, expressing a degree of dominance unmatched by even the likes of Hyperion.
