A prolific pattern winner from seven to nine furlongs, Amaron’s finest hour came when beating Amarillo by a length in the Group 1 Premio Vittorio di Capua over a mile at San Siro. He also came within a nose of being classic-placed in France.
In a blanket finish for the 2012 Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas), Lucayan won by a short-neck from Veneto, with ill-fated Furner’s Green the same margin back in third, a nose ahead of Amaron. There were additional short-necks back to the fifth and sixth: Gregorian and Dabirsim.
He is a son of leading international sire Shamardal (by Giant’s Causeway), whose early stallion sons feature Lope De Vega, and he is out of Amandalini (by Bertolini), an unraced half-sister to Grade 1-placed US 12-furlong Grade 2 scorer Persianlux (by Persian Bold).
Third dam Tropicaro (by Caro) won the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac and took the runners-up spot in the Group 1 Prix Saint-Alary, her blacktype descendants include some talented middle-distance performers and stayers, and her own siblings include Now That’s Funny (by Saratoga Six) – the dam of Group 3 Jersey Stakes winner and Group 1 July Cup runner-up Lucayan Prince (by Fast Play). Amaron stands at Gestut Etzean in Germany, and although he can be expected to get some two-year-old winners, it is likely to be as three-year-olds and older horses that his progeny show what they can do, with their best results coming in the broad six to 14-furlong range.
