Sulamani continued his extremely promising first season with the victory of his son Sulango at Florence on Monday. As one would expect from a proper Classic horse whose best form was from ten to twelve furlongs, Sulamani has had very few runners so far, with most of his offspring being trained with the future in mind. However, he is compiling very satisfactory statistics, and Sulango became his third winner by scoring on debut over 1400m in the Premio Big Reef.
A son of Fairy King mare Bint Alajwaad - whose four-year-old by King's Best, Fine Ruler, won at Kempton earlier this year - Sulango is clearly a promising horse and can now be expected to graduate to better things. He thus joins Sulabe and Dazinski as winners for the six-time Group/Grade One winner Sulamani, who also looks to have a sure-fire future winner in the shape of Equipe De Nuit, runner-up in his only two starts to date, including when failing agonisingly to make all the running over seven furlongs in a maiden at Newmarket on 15 August, being caught only in the dying strides by the very promising Ashram.
