This morning at 3:30AM Flower Power gave birth to her first foal – A strong bay colt. Mum and her Shamardal foal are both healthy and well. The first time broodmare has taken to motherhood quickly.
As a racehorse Shamardal won four Group Ones and in his short career at stud, has already sired eight stakes winners, including multiple group 1 winners, Faint Perfume and Lope De Vega. Lauriston was fortunate that Flower Power was covered by Shamardal on the second day of the 2009 breeding season. Despite a strong book of mares, Shamardal only covered 34 mares last spring in Australia before injuring himself while performing stud duties.
Flower Power is a daughter of popular brood mare sire, Success Express. During her racing career she displayed a great motor and a strong heart. She won races at Geelong and Ballarat from 1200 to 1300 metres.
