Teofilo sired his 16th individual winner on Friday October 21, when his son Assizes ran out an impressive victor at Newbury. Making his debut in this mile contest, he always close to the pace before asserting in the style of a potentially nice colt to win well by two-and-a-quarter lengths.
Bred by Darley, he is a half-brother to G3-colt Dr Faustus and winners by Cape Cross and Shamardal. His dam, Requesting (Rainbow Quest) also has a yearling filly by New Approach, a full-sister filly foal by Teofilo and has been scanned in foal again to New Approach. Requesting is from a top-class family that includes Aussie Rules, Albroada, Yesterday and Quarter Moon.
Teofilo has sired four Stakes winners from his impressive first crop. Parish Hall emulated his sire by taking the G1 Dewhurst Stakes, while Remember Alexander beat the boys in the G3 Tyros Stakes, and Parish Hall’s stable companion Teolane won a Listed race at Naas. In Germany, Black Arrow is an unbeaten Stakes winner after landing the Winterfavorit Trial on his second start. Teofilo has eclipsed the totals for both winners and stakes winners that his sire and grandsire, Galileo and Sadler’s Wells, both achieved with their first full year of runners.
