Sadler's Wells - Rainbow Lake

Distance won over: 8f. to 12f.   

Like outstanding sires El Prado, Montjeu, Galileo, In The Wings, Barathea and Fort Wood he is a son of the remarkable stallion Sadler's Wells. Timeform rated Powerscourt 5lb superior to El Prado. It is interesting that El Prado, Kentucky's most established son of Sadler's Wells, has already sired two Graded winners on synthetic surfaces, with Asi Siempre taking the Gr.1 Spinster Stakes and Dreaming of Liz the Gr.3 Arlington-Washington Lassie Stakes. This supports the theory that the very sound Sadler's Wells line is going to make an increasing impact as more and more tracks switch from traditional dirt. He has his first yearlings in 2008.
