With the foaling season well and truly underway, Cheveley Park Stud has seen the arrival of foals from some of its most prized mares. Group 1 winner Echelon (GB) (Danehill), the dam of dual Group 1 winner Integral (GB) (Dalakhani {Ire}), produced a filly by Dubawi on Feb. 16 and is due to visit Cheveley Park's first-season sire Ulysses (Ire). Integral's half-sister Provenance (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) visits Dubawi (Ire) this year.
Also set for Ulysses is champion 2-year-old filly Hooray (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), who foaled a colt by Gleneagles (Ire) on Feb. 9.
Cheveley Park went on a significant spending spree at the breeding stock sales last year and two of those purchases have foaled out. Mesa Fresca (Sky Mesa), a $2-million Fasig-Tipton November purchase, foaled a War Front filly on Jan. 24, and she also visits Ulysses. Angel Vision (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), plucked from the Ballymacoll dispersal for 600,000gns, produced a colt by Invincible Spirit on Jan. 26 and she goes to Dark Angel (Ire).
Cheveley Park will also be supporting first-season sire Almanzor (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) at Haras d'Etreham with Between Us (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), a half-sister to G1 Prix de Diane winner Confidential Lady (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}). Continuing a French theme, she foaled a Le Havre (Ire) filly on Feb. 26.
