Tally-Ho Delighted With Prix Morny Winner Perfect Power

The Aug. 22 Darley Prix Morny-Finale des Darley Series (G1) victory by Perfect Power  should ensure that Tally-Ho Stud's purple patch continues well into next month.

The O'Callaghan family's County Westmeath operation bred Richard Fahey's smart 2-year-old, who also landed the Norfolk Stakes (G2) at Royal Ascot, and sold him to Blandford Bloodstock for £110,000 (US$153,216) at this April's Goffs UK Breeze-Up Sale.

Tally-Ho was also responsible for breeding and selling last week's Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack (G2) winner Lusail , as well as Keeneland Phoenix Stakes (G1) hero Ebro River .

Roger O'Callaghan, busy overseeing the stud's draft of yearlings at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale in Doncaster, said: "Perfect Power was a class horse with a great attitude and a great mind. He did a very good breeze and was very popular at the sale. I'm delighted he has gone on to be so successful for connections."

It was even more notable as Perfect Power was a first group 1 winner for Overbury's freshman Ardad , who was also bred by the O'Callaghan family and sold at the 2016 Goffs UK Breeze-Up Sale.

"It's special to have bred the sire and breezed him and now to have bred and breezed his first group 1 winner," O'Callaghan added.

Ardad is by Tally-Ho Stud's kingpin Kodiac  and the farm offers a Kodiac three-parts sister to Perfect Power as Lot 214 of next month's Goffs Orby Yearling Sale.

The pair are both out of Sagely, a dual winning daughter of Frozen Power from the Ed Dunlop stable.

"Ed Dunlop recommended that we buy the mare and she has started her breeding career brilliantly," O'Callaghan said.

"His sister is a very nice horse with plenty of size and I am really looking forward to selling her at the Orby Sale."
