ELUSIVE FORT EXCELS

2021 FEE ANNOUNCED TODAY 

Sons of Fort Wood excel as stallions, yet they are in very short supply these days. The one still at the centre of things and performing excellently at stud and on the track is Triple Group 1 winner ELUSIVE FORT.

Although a Derby Winner at middle distance, it is no surprise that ELUSIVE FORT’s progeny win most often at 1000-1600 metres. After that Derby, he won both the Horse Chestnut Stakes Grade 1 1600 metres and the Hawaii Stakes Grade 2 (1400 metres).

In the current season he has sired, as of today, more black type wins than EVERY available sire in South Africa except two excellent ones – although availability is a moot point regarding GIMMETHEGREENLIGHT at more than 8x ELUSIVE FORT’s fee and VERGINGETORIX at more than 5x. Last season ELUSIVE FORT exceeded VERCINGETORIX’s (and MASTER OF MY FATE’s, QUERARI’s) black type wins and we await the status as at 31st July with anticipation!

In recent seasons, the boys have caught up with the girls through the exploits of CATCH TWENTY TWO, KOMMETDIEDING, OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE and others. The colts winners/runners ratio (overall) is 60% and the fillies 56%.

Added to that balance is his emergence as a sire of juveniles and as a broodmare sire at roughly the same time, which is quite unusual. He today sits 6th in the 2yo tables (winners) and as a broodmare sire with few runners has a Grade 3 winner and a Grade 1 place. Not surprising with this equation: {(Sadler’s Wells + Fall Aspen = Fort Wood) + the E-Family} = Wow Genetics.

Sales results have risen substantially in current context and we are all predicting that the advent of 4Racing plus morale boosting investment by the Hong Kong JC and BetFred are harbingers of greatly improved stakes – and demand for racing in every sense.ELUSIVE FORT stands at Black Swan Stud, Robertson where, gleaming jet black, he loves his mixture of hand walking and loafing – and covering excellently – in company with staff who revere him. His fee for 2021 will be R15,000 + VAT Live Foal with the aforementioned Scale of Fees (shown below) offering fixed discounted opportunities for multiple bookings. PLEASE CLICK ON THE AD TO ENLARGE THE FEE SCALE.
