Shamardal has been enjoying an outstanding year around the world, siring G1 winners in both Europe and Australia, and on 15 October he sired his 21st individual Stakes winner when Godolphin filly Modeyra took the ten-furlong Severals Stakes at Newmarket.
Settled off the pace under Frankie Dettori, Modeyra was asked to quicken at the two-furlong marker and demonstrated an impressive turn of foot to win by a length and a half from Timepiece.
She is now unbeaten in two starts, having won on her juvenile debut and trainer Saeed bin Suroor indicated she is likely to stay in training next year.
Bred by Darley, Modeyra is out of the G1 winner Zahrat Dubai, who was covered by Shamardal again this year.
