ALPINISTA WITH HER SECOND FOAL
World-Champion, “Arc” winner ALPINISTA, with her second foal, a colt by Lanwades’ STUDY OF MAN, leading second season sire in the Northern Hemisphere, 2024. ALPINISTA’s first foal is a now yearling filly by DUBAWI and she will visit SIYOUNI this year.

Her dam, ALWILDA, is due to SEA THE STARS, and her Stakes-Winning half-sister ALPENBLUME is due her first foal to FRANKEL; both these mares will visit STUDY OF MAN in 2025.

“The colt foal is very representative of his sire; correct and well-balanced with great presence.” said breeder Kirsten Rausing. “I am of course delighted ALPINISTA has produced such a good individual, again, after her first foal last year”.

Under The Radar: 10 British-Trained Three-Year-Olds to Follow in 2025 - TDN 23rd February 2025

ALMERIC (GB)
By Study Of Man (Ire) colt out of Alvarita (GB) (Selkirk)
Form: 41
Trainer: Andrew Balding

Study Of Man only has 58 two-year-olds to run for him this year, but there's enough promise among his latest crop of three-year-olds to suggest this is a stallion we're going to continue to hear plenty about in the coming months, after a blistering start to his second career at Lanwades Stud.

One such name to look out for is that of Almeric, a homebred from the family synonymous with Lanwades owner Kirsten Rausing. His maiden victory at York in October saw him become the tenth winner (from 13 runners) out of his Listed-winning dam, with the others including the G3 Kilternan Stakes scorer Alla Speranza (GB) (Sir Percy {GB}). Alvarita, in turn, is out of the dual G1 Champion Stakes heroine Alborada (GB) (Alzao), a full-sister to the three-time Group 1 winner Albanova, whose Listed-winning daughters All At Sea (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and Alwilda (GB) (Hernando {Fr}) have produced Eldar Eldarov (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Alpinista (GB) (Frankel {GB}), respectively.

All eyes will be on Alpinista's two-year-old full-sister, recently named Alpinara, when she takes to the track this year with a 2.5 million guineas price tag on her head, but Almeric could be the one to watch after his breakthrough win on the Knavesmire, by a length from the standard-setting favourite. That appeals as strong form–the first two pulled four lengths clear of a next-time-out winner in third–and the way Almeric came home over a mile on soft ground suggests he'll be well suited by middle-distances this year..
