Performing Progeny of
Daley K| SHOW JUMPING | |
| Warlord II (Born 1996, Daley K/Balmoral Princess) Warlord II was purchased from Blackall Park by Melissa Froesch as a yearling. He displayed above average ability from an early age. As a six year old he won the all age champion showjumper at the prestigious "Jumping with the stars" at Werribee Park, in a class judged by John Cottle. He followed this by becoming a consistent performer in A & B Grade competitions, and jumped in his first World Cup qualifier as a seven year old. Gavin Chester purchased the horse as an eight year old, and quickly they became one of the top combinations in the country. In the 2006/2007 World Cup season Gavin and Warlord II won five consecutive qualifiers. They then represented the Pacific League in the final of the World Cup in Las Vegas in April 2007, where they performed creditably, although lacking the international experience of most of their rivals. Warlord II returned to Australia in Sept 2008 and had his first start after a twelve month spell in the World Cup Qualifier at Sale on the 30th November 2008. He finished in third place after two very good four fault rounds over a high standard course built by Leeson Sirett. Warlord II was then campaigned by Kane Chester with success before being exported to Japan. We are pleased to have a very nice yearling colt Blackall Park Kokomo by Warlord II, for whom we have high expectations. |

| Blackall Park Athos
(Born 1998, Daley K/Balmoral Beauty) Athos was retained at Blackall Park to be a competition representative. He is the first foal from Balmoral Beauty, closely related to Warlord II on his dam's side. Athos was given his early training by Denis Crane, and was then ridden by Candice Gartung before being taken over by Kate Fleischer, stable rider for Blackall Park. Athos and Kate thrilled a Tonimbuk crowd when they jumped 1.4m in a bareback puissance at the pre Christmas show in 2007. He is from a very strong family, Kelly Lees has two of his siblings, Cincinatti Rose, and Ohio Silver. Both of these horses are well above average and look certain to go through to A Grade level. Another brother Emmaville Darius, owned by Grant & Heather Hughes has been retained as a colt. He has commenced his stud career, and will now be given further training under saddle. Like his siblings, he is destined for a career in Showjumping. |
