00:00
Aradu Petit-Ellier welcomes a new stallion for 2024, a top sprinter winner of four consecutive
00:09
group ones.
00:10
And if Mouhaha was off to a slow start first at stud, his progeny has kept his profile
00:16
rising.
00:17
Eric Pierrari and Jean-Daniel Monceau tell us more about his recent move to Normandy.
00:23
We are a faithful reader of the TDN and we are delighted they came here to have a look
00:28
at our stallion Mouhaha and a close look at his progeny and what he will do in the future.
00:35
It is a very exciting new adventure.
00:39
Mouhaha had been leased in the southwest with Arade Fon for two years and my partner Michel
00:46
Zerolo loved the horse and we made an offer to Shadwell to purchase half of him.
00:55
Mouhaha just arrived and it's already a success, produced group one winners.
01:00
I think he has 22 stakes performers.
01:04
He was a precocious two-year-old because he won in May of his two-year-old year.
01:09
Then he won the Jim Crack so he was a good two-year-old but improved at three and those
01:16
consecutive wins with a lot of ease made him a champion sprinter and he was a favorite
01:22
of his owner, Sheik Hamtam Al Maktoum, a great breeder.
01:26
He didn't convince totally the English breeders because they thought his progeny was not precocious
01:33
enough.
01:34
In fact, they take a little time to come but they are very durable, very resistant.
01:39
They have won all over the world, France, England, Ireland, United States, everywhere
01:46
and he is a very versatile sire.
01:48
They can win from six furlongs to a mile and a half.
01:51
Mouhaha is a very refined horse.
01:55
He doesn't have the physique of a sprinter, quite lengthy like his sire, Oasis Dream,
02:02
and interestingly, he has an inbreeding on both Leifahr and Mill Reef, who are two real
02:08
champions of their time, who are the two grand sires of the dam of Oasis Dream.
02:14
Mouhaha traces back to Pugnacity, one of the top class mares of the major holiday breeding
02:21
operation.
02:22
Pugnacity was a dam of Relquino, who was a champion horse in England, and by Relco, and
02:29
you find again that Relco blood in Linamix.
02:33
Mouhaha is already attracting some top class breeders and he will have a very full book.
02:39
He will be used by plenty of French breeders and international breeders, including Henri
02:44
Bozot from Aradais-Monceau, or Guy Pariante, also Jean-Claude Séroule, who is racing all
02:52
his stock.
02:53
He will also be supported by Shadwell, obviously, who will send a full sister to the champion
03:00
mare Tagrouda.
03:01
We have also a good group of shareholders.
03:04
We've got the Dubois family, who will support him a lot.
03:08
They have bred already some very good horses this year and in the past, like Sauternes
03:12
or Les Princesses.
03:14
We also got Aradais-Saint-Père, a very good breeder here in France.
03:18
We also got Peter Cavanaugh from Kildare-Stade, and obviously we have Aras de Capucines, who
03:23
will support him a lot with some of our best mares, two 130 mares, but we still have some
03:29
nominations to sell breeder, so we hope that will be a success.
