An early decision to invest heavily in the future stud career of Oratorio, could well prove more than fortuitous in light of recent Northern Hemisphere results.
On Saturday 17th October at Newmarket, the young son of Danehill produced the quinella in the time honored Dewhurst Stakes Group 1.The race considered a good guide to a horses future Classic season is run over 7f (1,400m) for two year olds. Already the sire of 12 individual winners in Europe from his first crop of runners, what is most impressive is the number of stakes winners and placegetters emerging including multiple stakes winner Big Audio, Group 1 contender Blue Angel, Beethoven Group1 winner & placegetter, Fencing Master second in Group1 Dewhurst.
Oratorio has had only a handful of triallers in Australia and early reports on his stock are most promising.
Darrell Ible has purchased a number of two year olds and has provided discount services to clients over the last four seasons including a book of forty mares to be bred this 2009 season.
The list of stallions Darrell Ible Racing & Bloodstock has selected and supported with clients include Street Cry and Lohnro who have both proven to be exceptional sires to date.
