The United States, a Group 1-winning brother to the high-class fillies Hermosa and Hydrangea, got his stud career off to the dream start on Saturday when Drakenstein Stud s two-year-old homebred filly Sheela made a winning debut in the Listed Storm Bird Stakes at Vaal in South Africa.
The filly is out of Trip To India, a Listed-placed daughter of leading South African sire Trippi hailing from the family of European Group 1 winners such as Continent, who struck in the July Cup and Prix de l Abbaye, and Grand Prix de Paris scorer Zambezi Sun.
The globe-trotting son of Galileo began his racing career with Aidan O Brien and the Coolmore partners, for whom he won the Group 3 KPMG Enterprise Stakes. At four he transferred to the Australian stable of Robert Hickmott to race for Melbourne Cup-winning owners Nick and Lloyd Williams.
