Description

London Calling is a stakes-producer by Dehere being offered in foal to globetrotting G1 winner, Artorius.

Dehere’s success as a broodmare sire is proven, with his daughters producing Group 1 winners Nettoyer, Forensics and Castelvecchio.

London Calling is a proven performer at stud, having produced G3 Triscay Stakes Winner Faraway Town, who was also G1 placed in the ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes. Her progeny have fetched up to $200,000 as yearlings.

She descends from a rich family, with an abundance of black type performers throughout her immediate family. London Calling’s half-sisters include G1 winner Only A Lady and stakes winner, Smoko. In addition, she’s a full sister to listed-winner Lisson Grove.

London Calling is in foal to first season stallion Artorius, who stood for $27,500 in 2023. He was among the most elite racetrack performers to retire to stud last year, as the winner of the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes & Group 1 Canterbury Stakes. Artorius covered an impressive book of mares in his first season that included 15 stakes winners and 25 2yo winners.

This mare’s pedigree has a complete absence of Danehill blood, providing her purchaser with great freedom in their future mating decisions.

Please see attached vet report.

London Calling is under a September cover and is available for inspection – For any further information please contact Jim Carey at Newgate on 0427 362 677.
