Sagamix raced in the colours of his breeder Jean-Luc Lagardere at three, when he won the Prix Niel on the way to beating Leggera and Tiger Hill in the Arc before being sold to Godolphin. His best effort for his new owners came when fourth in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud at four. At stud, Sagamix's best representatives on the Flat include Listed winner Nickelle and Brazilian Group 3 scorer Power Mix, but it is as a National Hunt sire that he is rising to prominence. He has supplied 28 jumps winners, including seven black-type performers from 60 runners. Among his most promising offspring are the Willie Mullinstrained Flat Out, a nine-length bumper scorer in September, and Seasonselite, an easy bumper winner for Venetia Williams on his sole start in June. He is also sire of Wild Queen, a Listed-winning chaser in France, and the highly touted Royal Mix, a winner in France who is set to make his hurdling debut for Paul Nicholls at Newbury on Friday. Overbury Stud manager Simon Sweeting said: "Sagamix is siring tough, sound horses with class, stamina and the natural ability to jump. "It's extremely encouraging that so many leading trainers are already investing in his stock." CAPTION(S): Sagamix: joins Kayf Tara |
