The
leading European first crop sire by winners and earnings, Coolmore shuttler No Nay Never
(USA) added a 15th winner to his tally overnight with a Lingfield victory for
No Way Jose.
Trained by Brian Meehan and ridden by William Buick, No Way Jose improved at
her third outing to finish strongly and win the six furlong contest by a length
and a quarter.
Bought for 50,000 guineas at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale by Sam Sangster
Bloodstock, No Way Jose is a half-sister to Group III winner Above Average and
Sent from Heaven being the ninth winner from terrific producer Crystal
Valkyrie.
The two best turf sprinting sons of Scat Daddy, No Nay Never and Caravaggio,
are set to visit Australia in the spring for Coolmore.
Priced at $19,250, No Nay Never is on his third trip to Australia with his
first weanlings selling for up to $90,000 at the Magic Millions National
Weanling Sale.
A lightning fast dark grey powerhouse of a sprinter, Caravaggio starred at
Royal Ascot two years running winning the Group II Coventry Stakes at two and
then the Group I Commonwealth Cup at three. Caravaggio is priced at
$33,000.
No Nay Never and Caravaggio are the only sons of the late great Scat Daddy
(sire of US Triple Crown winner Justify) available to Australian breeders this
spring.
