Slade Power a Timeform 127-rated son of Dutch Art

SLADE POWER (IRE) - 2009 bay horse

Winner over six furlongs at Dundalk on the second of two starts as a juvenile, Slade Power was a lightly-rated dual stakes winner at three – earning a Timeform rating of 113 – but went on to become one of Europe's top sprinters as an older horse.

His best of three pattern wins as a four-year-old came in the Group 2 British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot, he finished the year on a Timeform rating of 125, and then came back at five to win three of his four starts: the Group 3 Greenlands Stakes, Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes, and Group 1 July Cup – moving up to a Timeform mark of 127.

One of two Group 1-winning sons of Cheveley Park Stud stallion Dutch Art (by Medicean) who have their first yearlings in 2017 – the other is Garswood – Slade Power stands at Kildangan Stud and he had been very popular with breeders.

He covered 148 mares in his first season and his first foals made up to 150,000gns.

His winning dam Girl Power (by Key of Luck) is a full-sister to the stakes-placed Key Rose, his third dam is the Group 3 Premio Primi Passi scorer Balqis (by Advocator), and the blacktype winners who appear under the fourth generation of the family include Grade 1 Hollywood Derby scorer Slew The Dragon (by Seattle Slew), his Grade 2-winning full-brother Slew The Night and Grade 2-placed brother Seattle Knight, each of whom had some success at stud from limited opportunities.

Slade Power's pedigree makes him something of an unknown quantity as a potential sire of stakes and pattern winners, but his top-class racing record, the support he has received, and being a Machiavellian-line stallion from a blacktype family, all combine to make him a fascinating prospect.
