JULIE Lynch’s Fastnet Stud Ltd has made an impressive start to 2016, three of the stud’s progeny running and all of them winning. Furthermore they have been successful in England, Italy and most recently in the USA. Pretty And Sweet was successful at Gulfstream Park and is the first winner in the USA bred by Lynch.

The four-year-old daughter of Lookin At Lucky was sold as a foal to Oak Lodge USA for $50,000 and resold the following year for twice that amount.

She is the first foal out of the winning Galileo mare Idle Chatter and she was bought out of John Hammond’s stable for €40,000 by Fastnet Stud.

Lynch co-owns Idle Chatter’s three-year-old colt by Canford Cliffs which is in training in Ireland and last year she sold the third produce of the mare, a colt foal by Champs Elysees, at Goffs.

Idle Chatter is a daughter of Bedside Story, a daughter of Mtoto who won a couple of stakes races in Italy. She bred the Group 1-placed stakes winner Vol De Nuit and this is a family that has been especially successful in Italy.

Well Chosen featured on these pages recently and his good run continued for the whole of the month of February. During that time he had five horses run under National Hunt rules in Ireland and Britain. Navanman won all his three starts during the month, She’s A Star won her only start during the period, while Jury Duty eclipsed his fourth place finish with a victory at Navan last weekend.

Goulane Chosen was runner-up for the second time in a month at Navan, while the only other starter for the sire was Grays Choice who finished fourth.

That all adds up to nine starts, five wins, a pair of seconds and a pair of fourth-placed finishes. Hard to argue with those numbers.

Well Chosen, a son of Sadler’s Wells, stands at Tom Meagher’s Kedrah House Stud in Cahir for €2,500. His stud mate is the classic-winning son of Kingmambo and Derby runner-up Rule Of Law. His fee is just €1,000.

Incahoots was sold at the 2015 Tattersalls December Sale for 420,000gns to the Wertheimer Brothers. The winner of a single race and fourth on her last start in a listed race (does not qualify for blacktype in the sales catalogue) at the time of the sale, this three-year-old daughter of Oasis Dream returned to her trainer Freddy Head and increased her stud value with victory in a listed race last month in France.

An own-sister to a stakes winner and a half-sister to the Group 1 Prix de l’Opera winner We Are, she is now the third stakes-winning offspring of In Clover. She was a smart racemare herself and won the Group 3 Prix de Flore and a listed race. In Clover’s fourth living foal of racing age also won, while she now has a two-year-old colt by Frankel and a yearling filly by Dansili.

This is the immediate family of Group 1 winner Dominant, Group 1 runner-up Lily’s Angel and Group 2 winner and sire Es Que Love.
