MAMBO’S STAR STUDDED NATIONAL DRAFT Moutonshoek’s promising young stallion, Mambo In Seattle, is well represented by a classy draft of well bred yearlings on the 2014 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale. The 2008 Gr1 Travers Stakes runner up has 17 lots on offer, and they include some really well bred individuals. A full list of Mambo’s National Sale yearlings are listed at the bottom of this article. Currently South Africa’s third leading first crop sire (by prize money), Mambo In Seattle has made a pleasing start with his first crop of juveniles this season. From just a handful of runners, Mambo In Seattle has been represented by four horses who either won or have finished in the money. These include impressive recent debut winner The Royal Rumba, himself a R400 000 buy at the 2013 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale. Mambo is also South Africa’s joint leading first crop sire by winners –tied with Seventh Rock and A P Answer. A stakes winning son of Kingmambo, Mambo In Seattle is a three parts brother to leading US sire, Lemon Drop Kid – the sire of 72 stakes winners. North America’s Champion Older Male Horse of 2000, Lemon Drop Kid’s stakes winners include eight grade one winners. An emerging broodmare sire, Lemon Drop Kid is also the damsire of Gr1 winners Lochte and Elusive Kate. He is also the damsire of 2014’s leading Kentucky Oaks hopeful, Unbridled Forever.
