News Article: The Enigmatic Past of Wasmya, Sahlan's Remarkable Mother
Wasmya, the mother of the renowned Group-1 winner Sahlan, has captured the hearts of horse racing enthusiasts with Sahlan's impressive victory in the Deutsches St Leger G1 last year. However, the early life and exact breeding stations of Wasmya during her birth and childhood remain largely undocumented.
Known Facts
Born in 2004, Wasmya is a homebred for Al Shaqab, currently residing at the renowned Gestüt Römerhof in Dormagen, Germany. While it's clear that Wasmya gave birth to and was raised by the Römerhof, it's not definitively proven whether she spent her early years there.
Breeding History and Lineage
Wasmya is a German-bred horse with lineage from the Zuchtprogramm of Aga Khan. She is a descendant of the French stute Westa and is influenced by the significant sire Kahyasi. Details about Wasmya's youth-breeding station are not definitively recorded.
Recommendation for Detailed Information
For precise information, it is recommended to directly inquire with the Gestüt Römerhof or the Deutsche Galopp (German Gallop, e.g., German Rennwoche). These entities may provide insights into Wasmya's birth and breeding station.
Notable Siblings and Offspring
Wasmya shares a half-sister relationship with the 1000 Guineas heroine Homecoming Queen, the dam of Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Shale. Love To Dance, Wasmya's granddam, is a Sadler's Wells half-sister to the horse Dylan Thomas, a Classic, dual Irish Champion Stakes, and Arc hero.
Queen's Logic, Wasmya's dam, was purchased by Al Shaqab for €200,000 at the end of her three-year-old career. She is the dam of the Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Queen Kindly, and the granddam of Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Big Evs.
Toronado, the sire of Sahlan, is a permanent fixture at Swettenham Stud in Victoria, Australia. He is also the broodmare sire of Sahlan. Toronado will miss the southern hemisphere breeding season due to a significant infection.
Other Group 1 winners from Wootton Bassett's first crop include French Classic winners and juvenile Group 1 victors Henri Matisse, Camille Pissarro, and the dual Group 1 winner and Oaks runner-up Whirl.
Wasmya has a two-year-old filly named Demah by Mehmas, who is in training with Graffard. Sahlan is the first black-type winner from the 24 winners produced by Toronado's daughters.
