87 for Teofilo

Import Aktau became the 87th stakes winner for Teofilo when winning the Listed Mornington Cup (2000m) in Australia.

Trained by Mike Moroney, Aktau (pictured) was purchased privately following his win at Goodwood for Roger Varian last year and has now won four of his eight starts.

Bred by Hesmonds Stud, Aktau is inbred 4×4 to Danzig and Teofilo, bred on the same Galileo/Danehill cross as Frankel, also has Gr1 winners Trading Leather, Humidor, Havana Gold and Voleuse de Coeurs with a duplication of Danzig.

Teofilo with Oasis Dream (Green Desert) mares has produced four stakes performers from 11 runners headed by G2 winner Twilight Payment and the unbeaten three-year-old filly Tawkeel, unbeaten in two starts in France in 2019.

Teofilo was advertised at €40,000 at Kildangan Stud in Ireland.
