Equiano proved himself one of Europes beat sprinters when he won the Group 1 Kings Stand Stakes twice. He is a son of Acclamation, who finished second in Europe's premier sprint race. Acclamation has already established himself as a sire of sires with his Group 1 winning two-year-old son Dark Angel making huge headlines for himself as a stallion. Equiano also serves in the Southern Hempishere with his first yearlings there proving as popular as his Northern Hempishere stock, where here they averaged over £42,000.
Equiano is the best horse from his dam Entente Cordiale. He traces back to Hessonite, who was champion 3yo filly in New Zealand & Anbandana who was champion 2yo filly in New Zealand. This is also the ancestress of Marchfield who was champion older horse in Canada. Equiano's pedigree is numerous with Stakes winners under his fourth dam who was Grade 1 placed.
If he can replicate his paternal 1/2 brother Dark Angel in the sire ranks he will be well on his way to establishing himself as a sire to note. Equiano was Group 2 placed as a two-year-old. He won twice from six starts placing in three. He was also second in the Group 1 July Cup. He has proved a very good bargain. He stands at Newsells Park Stud at a very reasonable fee of £8,000
