The farm’s resident sire Mambo In Seattle is responsible for seven lots in Clifton Stud’s consignment including the well bred filly Ana In Seattle (Lot 113). The latter is a half-sister to two winners notably Gr2 Charity Mile winner, and millionaire, Bezanova, and further back, this is the same family as former Gr1 Vodacom Durban July winner, Power King among others. Ana In Seattle also hails from the same family as the Mambo In Seattle sired Oaks Trial winner Bize, making her a very close relative of that filly indeed.
Other notable lots by Mambo In Seattle include Summer Fling (Lot 48), a half-sister to 3 winners including Champion Juvenile Cup runner up Scarborough Fair, Mister Lincoln (Lot 76), a colt from the same family as champions Gabor and Legislate, and Montana Nymph (Lot 136).
