Alpinista (GB), the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner and world champion racemare of 2022, has delivered her second foal, a colt by Lanwades' Study Of Man (Ire).
The first foal of the daughter of Frankel (GB) is now a yearling filly by Dubawi (Ire) and Alpinista will travel next to France to visit Siyouni (Fr) at the Aga Khan Studs.
Study Of Man, whose percentage of black-type winners was top among the second-season sires of 2024, will this year cover both Alpinista's dam Alwilda (GB) (Hernando {Fr}) and her half-sister Alpenblume (GB) (Kendargent {Fr}). They are expecting foals this season by Sea The Stars (Ire) and Frankel respectively.
“The colt foal is very representative of his sire; correct and well-balanced with great presence,” said breeder Kirsten Rausing. “I am of course delighted Alpinista has produced such a good individual, again, after her first foal last year.”
Trained by Sir Mark Prescott to win six Group 1s among her 10 victories from 15 starts, Alpinista is a fourth-generation homebred for Lanwades. Last October, her full-sister was bought by Kia Joorabchian's Amo Racing for 2.5 million gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. Now named Alpinara (GB), she is in training at Prescott's Heath House Stables in Newmarket.
