The
first crop winners keep coming for Coolmore shuttler No Nay Never (USA), the
Group I winning son of Scat Daddy siring his 18th winner overnight
with a victory at Ayr for Beechwood Ella.
Trained by Keith Dalgleish, she was determined to the line to win the seven furlong
contest by a long neck at her second start.
She is the fourth winner from stakes-placed Tamazug, a half-sister to Group III
winner Zamaam.
The leading European first season sire by winners and earnings, No Nay Never is
the sire of 18 first crop winners headed by Group II winner Land Force and
stakes-winners Servalan and Mae No Never, not to mention last weekend's Group I
place-getter The Irish Rover.
He is running at an impressive 50% winners to runners.
The two best turf sprinting sons of the late great 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
