Broodmare Sire: FORT WOOD

FORT WOOD, 1990, Sadler's Wells - Fall Aspen, by Pretense Fort Wood was a lightly-raced colt in France who won the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris and the Group 2 Prix Noailles. He is impeccably bred, being by Sadler’s Wells, the most successful stallion in European and British history. He is out of the stakes winner and phenomenal producer Fall Aspen, who is the dam of Timber Country, the Champion Colt of his generation at 2 in the U. S., where he won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, then later placed in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. Fort Wood has been one of the top couple of stallions standing in South Africa. He is best known as the sire of Horse Chestnut, regarded as the greatest “modern day” racehorse in South African history. His four South African Derby winners include Horse Chestnut, who was a stakes winner on dirt at Gulfstream Park in a lone stateside appearance before taking up residency at Claiborne Farm, and Dynasty, a Horse of the Year and one of the best recent runners in South Africa, where he is now at stud.
