RATHASKER Stud’s purchase of Sultanina (New Approach) at the dispersal of Philippa Cooper’s Normandie Stud in 2022 was inspired. At the weekend, the colt she was carrying, Pierre Bonnard (Camelot), gained his third win in four starts when taking the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud.

New Approach (Galileo) was already making his name as a broodmare sire at the time, with such as Modern Games (Dubawi) and Earthlight (Shamardal) in Europe, and Mustang Valley (Vanbrugh) in New Zealand winning Group 1 races.
