Fire Blaze a fine example of Clodovil as a broodmare sire

18 Apr 2013

Fire Blaze (Dubawi-Nahoodh) won the Maiden Fillies Stakes at Newmarket. Her trainer Al Zarooni said that “it’s great to have a two-year-old winner at the Craven meeting. We’ll find her a Listed or Conditions race now.” Simon Crisford commented that "Fire Blaze has been very straightforward and professional in her training leading up to this race, Al Zarooni was really keen to get her out early as she'd shown plenty at home. She won well. She'll go up in class now and we'll see if she's good enough for [Royal] Ascot. I would imagine she'll go for a Listed race next, possibly at Sandown [National S.] or Beverley [Hilary Needler S.], so we'll try to find something suitable for her."

 

Fire Blaze’s dam Nahoodh was the star performer in her sire Clodovil’s first crop winning both the Lowther Stakes (Group 2) and the Falmouth Stakes (Group 1).

 

At the 2012 Tattersalls Breeding Stock Sale Maurice’s brother Patrick Burns of Newlands House Stud purchased Misplace (who is a half-sister to the dam of Nahoodh) and subsequently she has been scanned in foal to Clodovil this week. 

 

Extract from the EBN;

“Nahoodh is the best of her unraced dam, Mise (Indian Ridge), who is a half- sister to the Gr.3 Prix d’Hedouville and dual Listed winner Not Just Swing (King’s Best), the Listed La Coupe des Pouliches de Marseille winner Minoa (Mujtahid) and the three-year-old winner Misplace (Green Desert; dam of the Gr.3 Prix de Guiche-third Mayweather). The second dam, Misbegotten (Baillamont), won the Listed Prix Finlande and was placed in three Gr.3 events and the Gr.2 Prix de l’Opera, a race in which her half-sister Miscast (Kenmare) also came third. The third dam Mistreat (Gay Mecene) was a winner at three in France and is a half- sister to the French Listed-placed Mira Monte (Baillamont; dam of the Gr.1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud winner and sire Mirio, the Gr.3 Inglewood Handicap winner Montemiro and the Listed winner Mountjoy).

Nahoodh has a yearling colt by Shamardal and visited Dubawi last year."
