Paul and Marie McCartan know a thing or two about Nando Parrado (GB), bought him as a pony, raced him, and retained partial ownership of their son Kodiac (GB) since he retired. retired to Ireland National Stud. They are therefore delighted to be able to welcome the first foal of G2 winner Coventry S. on Saturday at their Ballyphilip Stud.

The chubby pony is the daughter of Cafetiere (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), herself a minor winner on five feathers and a half-sister to the Winner G3 Prix du Bois Percolator (GB) (Kheleyf). The mare produced Imperial Force G2 Norfolk S. (Ire) (Camacho {GB}).

On his most recent visit to Ballyphilip, Paul McCartan said: “I am very happy with her. We had four ponies and they were all fat but she was the best of them all. She has a well-proportioned body, with strong calves and forearms, a very beautiful head, and she has a very similar figure to Nando Parrado herself. It’s a very good-looking pony.”

Bred by Anita Wigan, Nando Parrado, who falls outside the Argentine 3rd place winner Chibola (Arg) (Roy), is the hook hook back to Ballyphilip. McCartan, who is noted as a pony buyer as well as a breeder, purchased it for 165,000 gns at weaning at Tattersalls and later bought back the foal for 200,000 gns at the Show annual sale in December. It proved a wise move, as six months later Nando Parrado won Coventry at Royal Ascot in a second start for Clive Cox. He was also runner-up in both G1 Prix Morny and G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere.

McCartan sent three mares to Nando Parrado during his first season at the Irish National Stud, where he was owned by an organization and included a total of 130 mares.

He added, “They were all in the first pop. He is an extremely fertile horse. I have another mare born to him on February 10th. I hope to get some ponies soon. The more fillings I have, the more ponies I’ll be able to buy at a discount!
