First Foal for D’Argento

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday August 10

Bowness Stud’s charismatic grey So You Think stallion D’Argento has produced his first foal to the great delight of studmaster John North and his big team of Star Thoroughbreds owners who enjoyed his exploits on the track.

D'Argento was a popular flagbearer for Star Thoroughbreds.

The Chris Waller trained stallion won over $1.1million on the track with a highlight win in the Group I ATC Rosehill Guineas and a painfully close second to Hartnell in the Group I ATC Epsom Handicap.

One of the first mares he covered last year on September 1 was Purple Blood and the daughter of Encosta de Lago is the dam of his first foal.

This eye catching colt is a half-brother to three winners including Group III winner Sookie, the dam of dual Group I winner Shadow Hero.

D’Argento covered 152 mares last spring and stands at a fee of $16,500 at Bowness Stud.
