» Trainer: Jamie Sanders Teuflesberg is from the first crop of Johannesburg, adding quite a bit of luster to already stellar group of runners. Currently ranked on the top of the second crop sire list, his eight stakes winners to date include Scat Daddy, Hamoody, Marcavelly, Baroness Thatcher and Fernando Po. |
Early success is no surprise with Johannesburg. He was champion 2-year-old in Ireland, England, France and North America after a juvenile campaign that saw him win all seven of his starts, including six stakes, topped by an awesome performance in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. A brilliant career lost some of its glow, however, when he was winless in three starts the following year, including a loss in the Kentucky Derby. Being a son of the top sprinter Hennessy, there are questions about how at far his offspring will be effective. He does come from a female family that includes Tale of the Cat and Preach, the dam of 1997 Kentucky Derby fourth place finisher Pulpit. Teuflesberg is out of the Devil’s Bag mare St. Michele. Devil’s Bag was champion 2-year-old and winner of the Derby Trial. Teuflesberg is the lone winner from two starters produced by his dam. Her other three foals are unraced. St. Michele is out of a long line the Claiborne mares. She is a daughter of Line, a half-sister to Northcote Road, two-time winner of the Mardi Gras Handicap. Line is a sister to several stakes winners, including Double Feint (Hill Prince [GIII]), Dibs (Locust Grove), Region (Del Mar Breeders’ Cup [GII]), Announce (Thistledown Breeders’ Cup [GIII]) and Narrate (Falls City Handicap [GIII]). Narrate is the granddam of Pulpit. Both the sire and dam of Teuflesberg descend from Claiborne female families, and being inbred 4x3 to Mr. Prospector, there is great influence from the famed Claiborne stallion as well. Teuflesberg’s sire was so brilliant early that it might belie the fact that he can sire distance-loving runners. Teuflesberg has also shown plenty of speed thus far, but is actually bred, especially on the bottom quarter of his pedigree, to handle longer races. Dosage Index: 2.27 – by Mark Hoard |
