First Season Sire Focus: Makfi

The new flat season of 2014 brings the first juvenile runners of top class miler Makfi. Makfi is one of the first sire sons by his sensational sire Dubawi at stud. Makfi stands at Tweenhills stud in the UK at a fair price of £25,000. His first yearlings were very warmly received & there will sure to be plenty of interest in his first runners.

Makfi won his only start as a two-year-old and progressed rapidly from winning his maiden to becoming champion three-year-old miler. He was also a Group 3 winner. Makfi's finest moments came in the 2,000 guineas & proving that win was no fluke when winning the Prox Jaques Les Marois, emulating his sire in the process. When Makfi retired he was rated 4lbs higher then his sire Dubawi.

Makfi boasts a lovely pedigree. He is out a Green Desert 1/2 sister to Alhaarth, who was champion two-year-old, he also became a useful sire at stud. Makfi is also a close relative of Aqaleem, who was placed in the Derby.

Makfi's second dam is Irish River, herself a 1/2 sister to dual Group 1 winner & leading sire Green Dancer, this is also from the immediate family of leading sire Pink, & Group 1 sire Authorized.

Makfi possesses extremely good looks and represents an exciting sire line. He also serves in the Southern Henisphere where he has been very warmly recieved. He is an interesting and exciting sire prospect. He looks an interesting sire for Sadler's Wells & Danhill line mares. I would also like to see how he would fare with Sinndar mares etc.
