Roy and Gretchen Jackson of Lael Stables have decided on a debut mating plan for their brilliant mare One Master, with the three-time Qatar Prix de la Foret (G1) heroine set to visit Dubawi in 2021.
The daughter of Fastnet Rock who won seven of her 23 outings for the Jacksons and William Haggas now resides at New England Stud in Newmarket alongside her dam, the dual group 3 winner Enticing.
"One Master has settled very well and is turned out in a paddock next to her dam, Enticing, and is due to visit Dubawi in 2021," said New England Stud manager Peter Stanley. "On the basis that she's a uniquely brilliant filly, we feel that she deserves to go to the best stallion standing in the U.K."
Dubawi, who will stand his fifth consecutive season at a fee of £250,000 at Darley's Dalham Hall Stud next year, has sired a staggering 44 group/grade 1 winners, including the highest-rated horse in the world this year, Ghaiyyath.
As well as her hat trick of Prix de la Forets, One Master also won the Saint Clair Oak Tree Stakes (G3) and the Coolmore Stud Fairy Bridge Stakes (G3) at Tipperary. She brought the curtain down on her racing days when a close third behind Glen Shiel in the QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes (G1). She amassed £939,644 (US$1,212,656) in prize money and was retired with a peak Racing Post Rating of 118.
One Master is the third generation of her family to be owned by Lael Stables, tracing through Enticing to Superstar Leo, a daughter of College Chapel who defied a price tag of just 3,400 guineas ($5,914) when winning the Norfolk and Polypipe Flying Childers Stakes (G2).
The Jacksons have now called time on Superstar Leo's breeding career, with the 18-year-old, who was bred by Lester Piggott and Anthony Hirschfeld, having left Newmarket to see out her well-earned retirement at her owners' Pennsylvania farm alongside their other pensioned broodmares.
"Her grandmother Superstar Leo flew to America earlier this year to spend her retirement at Mr. and Mrs. Jackson's farm," Stanley said. "It was quite something to have three group-winning relatives all alive and on the farm at the same time. How lucky are we!"
