Alkumait sires his first foal

Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes winner Alkumait, has sired his first foal with the arrival of a colt at Crohane House. The colt is out of the winning Zamindar mare Windy Citi and was bred by Joey Fallon.

He arrived on Tuesday, a little later than expected but his breeder pronounced the colt well worth the wait.

"He is a fine, big strong colt and a really solid foal, looks to be very strong already and he is only a few hours old," remarked Fallon.

Windy Citi won three times as a three- and four-year-old and is a half-sister to the Group 3 Premio Sergio Cumani second Kadabra by Dubawi and to the Havana Gold filly Maccaja who was third in the Listed Prix Finlande.

They are out of the Listed Premio Archidamia winner and Listed Churchill Stakes Windy Britain, a Mark Of Esteem half-sister to the Listed Premio Carlo Chiesa winner Frottola.

A son of Showcasing, Alkumait ran four times as a juvenile, winning a six-furlong Goodwood maiden on his second start before making the leap into Group company in the Gr.2 Mill Reef Stakes on just his third career start where he should a scintilating turn of foot.
