The Bai colt was foaled on the 31st January, and according to Irish stud manager Pat Downes: “He is a very attractive and correct individual. I am delighted with him”.
Sinndar won the Group I Aga Khan Studs National Stakes as a two year old, before going on to achieve the unique feat of winning the Vodafone Derby, the Budweiser Irish Derby and the Arc de Triomphe in the same season as a three year old.
Timarida, the foal’s globetrotting dam, won three Group races in succession at the end of her three year old career, including the Prix de l’Opera and the E P Taylor Stakes. At four she scored Group I successes in the Grosser Dallmayr Preis-Bayeriches Zuchtrennen at Munich and the Beverley D Stakes at Arlington before taking the Irish Champion Stakes on her home ground at Leopardstown.
