elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Rathbarry Stud are delighted to announce the acquisition of Gr.1 winner UNQUESTIONABLE, one of the best 2YO\u2019s sired by the outstanding Wootton Bassett.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Unquestionable was never out of the frame in six starts for Aidan O\u2019Brien as a 2YO, with his highly successful juvenile campaign capped by a win in the Gr.1 Breeders\u2019 Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">In a measure of how well regarded the son of Wootton Bassett was throughout at Ballydoyle, Unquestionable made his debut in Listed company in the First Flier Stakes over 5f at the Curragh, where he defied his inexperience to finish third. From there, he returned to the Curragh to break his maiden over 6f in impressive fashion, making all for a near five-length success under a hands and heels ride from Ryan Moore.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Unquestionable held his own at the top level thereafter, with a game second in the Gr.1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp preceding his brilliant win in the Gr.1 Breeders\u2019 Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita. Sent off the short-priced favourite in a typically strong field, Unquestionable showed an outstanding turn of foot to run down the leaders and win going away.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Following the race, Aidan O\u2019Brien commented: \u201cHe&#8217;s a very tough horse who we&#8217;ve always had a lot of faith in. He won very well in the end. He did everything right in the preparations going into the race, so for him to go and win is brilliant.\u201d<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Unquestionable is a son of Wootton Bassett, who sadly died this week. Currently the leading sire by prize-money in Europe, Wootton Bassett is well regarded as a source of 2YO speed and is already a proven sire of sires.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Unquestionable is out of the Sea The Stars mare Strawberry Lace and a member of the famous Best In Show family via the branch responsible for proven Gr.1 sires Bated Breath and Cityscape. The Best In Show family has produced numerous successful stallions, among them Redoute\u2019s Choice and El Gran Senor. Other Gr.1 winners from this family include champions Almond Eye, Arcangelo, Idiomatic, Peeping Fawn and Rags To Riches.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe are delighted to add Gr.1 Winner Unquestionable to our roster,\u201d said Paul Cashman. \u201cA very good-looking horse, he was a precocious 2YO who held his form throughout his successful juvenile campaign. He\u2019s supported by one of the best families in the Stud Book and we are confident that he will add to the legacy of his much-missed sire Wootton Bassett. We look forward to supporting him strongly.\u201d<\/p><p class=\"p1\">A fee for Unquestionable will be set at a later date.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article

both as a racehorse and a sire. He was a Group 2 and Listed winner for Gerald Cottrell, but some could argue that his best performances came in defeat. At a price of 16\/1, he separated Choisir and Oasis Dream in the King\u2019s Stand Stakes, despite breaking slowly and being denied a clear run a furlong from home. He stumbled at the start in the 2003 Nunthorpe, yet managed to finish third to the front-running Oasis Dream.<\/p><p>Those performances make you wonder what could have been, if luck was on his side, especially considering the talent he passed on to his progeny. His success as a sire was instantaneous, being crowned Leading First Season Sire due to his first crop producing Group 1 winners <strong>Dark Angel<\/strong> and <strong>Equiano<\/strong>, both of whom went on to sire top-flight winners themselves, the former set to be crowned champion sire for the 2024 season.<\/p><p>Ability, soundness and a will to win have seen Acclamation\u2019s progeny deliver time and time again, their long and fruitful careers echoing that of himself at stud. Of stallions who continue to cover at the age of 25, how many will be responsible for two Group 1 winners that same year?<\/p><p>On that note, James McDonald provided the perfect line after partnering <strong>Romantic Warrior<\/strong> to his fifth consecutive Group\/Grade 1 win in the Yasuda Kinen. \u201cHe&#8217;s got a heart of a lion and tremendous ability,\u201d the jockey said after Danny Chum\u2019s star registered his eight top-flight victory and 15th career win, bringing his earnings past the \u00a315million mark.<\/p><p><strong>Makarova<\/strong> is the most recent of Acclamation\u2019s Group 1 winners, the five-year-old having gained a deserved Group 1 win on her final career start in the Prix de l\u2019Abbaye. She is likely not the last, either, if Acclamation\u2019s latest juvenile crop is anything to go by.<\/p><p>His two-year-olds include Queen Mary Stakes third <strong>Maw Lam<\/strong>, Stakes performer <strong>Assertively<\/strong>, Goffs 500 runner-up <strong>Mollie Foster<\/strong> and the 96-rated <strong>Last Encore<\/strong>. The future also looks bright for <strong>Angel Hunter<\/strong>, with Richard Hannon having described the 90-rated colt as \u201ca horse for next year\u201d following his win in a valuable race at York.<\/p><p>Hannon, of course, is no stranger to success with Acclamation, and he chose one of Acclamation\u2019s sons as his favourite horse when interviewed by the Racing Post earlier this year. Overlooking his Group 1 winners, the trainer selected Oh <strong>This Is Us<\/strong>, saying: \u201cHe had the heart of a lion, loads of ability and was a pleasure to have anything to do with. Without a shadow of doubt he&#8217;s my favourite horse and always will be.\u201d Hannon didn\u2019t even allow Oh This Is Us to leave his yard, retiring the now 11-year-old free of charge, following a career of 17 wins and over \u00a3700,000 in earnings.<\/p><p>Hannon isn\u2019t Acclamation\u2019s only fan, understandably, as was evident at the 2024 yearling sales.
