Heversham Park Farm has purchased the well performed Pivotal colt Wings of Desire. The winner of the Gr2 Dante Stakes and placed second in the Gr1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Ascot as a three year old to Global Champion Highland Reel, this talented racer was also placed in the Gr1 Epsom Derby.
Wings Of Desire – ticks all the boxes
By the emerging sire of sires and Broodmare sire Pivotal, who is best known as a sire of Sprinter-milers, Wings of Desire is out of the stakes winning mare Gullwing and as such he is a full brother to Eagle Top winner of the Gr 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Ascot and also placed second in the Gr1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Ascot; and to The Lark, winner of the Gr2 D.F.S Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster and placed third in the Gr1 Epsom Oaks.
Fred Brons – unearthed some gold!
Gullwing is a half sister to Sariska (by Pivotal) the winner of both the Irish and English Oaks and placed second in the Gr1 Coronation cup at Epsom.
Heversham’s director of stallions Fred Brons stated: “We have been searching for a classic type sire for a considerable time. The difficulty that we encountered in our search was that we did not want any ‘hand-me-down’ Sires, whilst insisting on stallion prospects that had solid pedigrees, performance and conformation. Wings of Desire ticked all of these boxes with the added bonus that he preferred going that was good to firm, thereby enhancing his appeal to South African breeders. We are also following the latest trend in South Africa of important classic distance type stallions. The farm is only some four hours from the Nottingham Road area and we are currently negotiating with a leading transport company to subsidise the cost of the transportation of mares utilising the services of all of our stallions, from KZN and the Cape .”
