Arizona x La Divina by Sadlers Wells Yearling Colt

Smashing Bay colt, born 4 February 2025 Arizona (IRE) × La Divina (IRE), by Sadler’s Wells! So easy to handle as he has a lovely temperament! ARIZONA (IRE), winner of the Coventry Stakes (Gr.2) at Royal Ascot and twice Group 1 placed at two, including the Dewhurst Stakes and Vincent O’Brien National Stakes. Arizona is by leading site No Nay Never! LA DIVINA (IRE), a sister to ISLINGTON, Champion 3yo Filly in England and Champion Turf Female in the USA, winner of the Yorkshire Oaks (Gr.1) twice, Nassau Stakes (Gr.1) and Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (Gr.1). La Divina is also a sister to Group 1 winners GREEK DANCE and MOUNTAIN HIGH, and to Group 3 winner NEW MORNING. From the immediate family of HELLENIC, winner of the Yorkshire Oaks (Gr.1) and Ribblesdale Stakes (Gr.2), and a highly successful producer of Group 1 performers. The Arizona × La Divina cross is attractive because you’re putting a speed-oriented No Nay Never line over a deep Sadler’s Wells/Darshaan staying family. Arizona himself was a high-class 2yo, winning the Coventry and finishing second in the Dewhurst and third in the National Stakes. And this colt being February-born means he’ll is one of the earlier-born members of the 2025 crop.
