On the Breeding Scene

Recently imported Swedish mare Aldebaran Teal Se Tr 1.58.0, (Jeune Fille Se – Going Kronos It) produced a filly foal on Valentines Day – 14th February 2022, by the European trotting megastar Who’s Who Tr 1.54.2 – 15 wins - $1,088,875 to date (Reality Pride Se by Swedish champion sire and racehorse Maharajah Tr 1.53.1 – 31 wins - $3,679,387).

Aldebaran Teal Se is owned jointly by Aldebaran Park Australia and Swedish breeding giant Menhammar Stuteri AB.

Aldebaran Teal’s first foal – 2yo filly Aldebaran Bardot by the French sire Charly De Noyer Fr (a son of champion sire Ready Cash Fr) is in training in Sweden under the guidance of Pasi Aoki and the Menhammar Stuteri AB training team, while the second foal, a colt by Readly Express Se named For Sure Aldebaran Se, sold for $46,000 at the Menhammar Stuteri AB online auction late in 2021.

By the Swedish Horse of the Year Going Kronos It, Aldebaran Teal Se, trained and driven during her race career by Swedish Hall of Fame member Torbjorn Jansson, was a talented mare in her own right, winning the Swedish Trotting Sports Young Horse Series as a three-year-old.

She ranks as a half sister to the Swedish V75 winner Stud Muffin Tr 1.56.2 – 20 wins - $129,171 and Virgin Muffin Tr 1.55.2 – 10 wins - $84,736 and is a member of the same family as the multiple USA Stakes winner Common Sense (1:53.6).

There is no doubt the fillies progress will be keenly watched from both Sweden and here in Australia.
