NORMANDY STUD
CAPE RACING SUMMER SALE 2025
Over the course of Normandy’s nearly sixty-year history, the foundation broodmares chosen by the Foulkes clan have developed into proud families.
Originally, Tommy, Veronica, and now Oscar Foulkes have carefully chosen appropriate stallions to suit their mares, breed quality racehorses, and make it all commercially sustainable.
Ultimately, it is the race-track performance that matters. Luminaries bred at Normandy include Aquanaut, Quick Wit, Little Ballerina, Grande Jete, Mother Russia, Winter Solstice, Sergeant Hardy and Rio Querari.
Normandy offers seven yearlings at the Summer Sale, to be held at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Thursday, 23rd January 2025.
Lot 5 is by freshman sire, Hawwaam, the Champion 3YO Colt in SA in 2018/19. The colt is out of the multiple-winning sprinter, Fleeced, by Querari (GER).
Lot 24 is a Legislate filly out of Lady Wyllie, a half-sister to Sergeant Hardy, mentioned above as a former winner of the Grade 1 Cape Flying Championships.
Lot 32 is an Elusive Fort Colt ex-Windrush (USA) mare, Matushka. This is a renowned Normandy family. The second dam Russian Muse yielded Mother Russia, Champion Older Female in SA in 2009/10 who, in turn, was the dam of Nother Russia, Champion Older Female in SA in 2017/18 and Champion 3YO filly 2023-24, dual Grade 1 winning Gimme a Nother.
Lot 33 is the first foal of Miss Putin, with Russian Muse popping up as the fourth dam. Her chestnut filly is the result of a mating with The United States (IRE) who is by Galileo (IRE).
Oscar Foulkes is impressed at how Erupt (IRE) upgrades his mares so he sent Pelaya (by Silvano(GER)) to be covered by the son of Dubawi (IRE). Lot 38 is the result.
Lot 64 is by Legislate ex Twice as Nice, a daughter of Russian Muse. 3rd dam Terpsichore is one of those redoubtable old mares on which Normandy Stud has built such a venerable legacy.
The CRS Summer Sale of 2025 closes with Lot 95, a Futura filly ex Dreams are Made (AUS) who is a half-sister to Tamaanee, winner of the Grade 2 Gerald Rosenberg.
Oscar Foulkes is a pedigree boffin, happy to answer any questions from interested parties and delve deeper into the nuances of these enduringly successful Normandy bloodlines.
