High Chaparral shuttler Toronado (IRE) has begun covering his best ever book of mares at Swettenham Stud this spring following a service fee increase to $49,500 and sired his 17th stakes-winner overnight in France.
Three year-old colt Mouillage had been stakes placed four times previously and broke the ice for his first Black type success in the Listed Prix Millkom (1m) at La Teste de Buch.
Trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, Mouillage has been super consistent throughout his career and scored a neck win taking his overall record to four wins and seven placings from 11 starts.
Purchased by his trainer for 37,000 euros from the Osarus Yearling Sale, Mouillage is the first winner for Hazely, a placed Cape Cross daughter of stakes-winner Sentimental Value.
Mouillage is bred on a similar cross to Toronado’s Australian Group I winner Masked Crusader, who is also from a mare by a Green Desert line sire in Invincible Spirit.
