Chullo(Arg)



See the interesting article in the Owner-Breeder Magazine by Ann Ferland on Chullo and the Triple and Quadruple Crowns, February 2005

Dick Mandella discusses Chullo. 3 min. 35 sec.



Chullo has returned to Argentina and is now standing at the
Haras la Magdelena.
See Thoroughbred Times article.

Chullo had five G1 wins at three—the most impressive South American champion in his decade! Hall of Fame trainer Dick Mandella said of him, “A world-class Grade 1 horse.” Trainers say of his two-year-olds, “Right up there with the best in my barn!”

Chullo has a better race record in South America than any stallion at stud in the U.S.

In Argentina, he won the Triple Crown and the Carlos Pellegrini and was Horse of the Year, Champion 3yo, Champion Stayer, and Champion Older Horse. He repeatedly beat the talented Lazy Lode ($1.3 million) soundly, and then was injured before he could show his abilities in the U.S. Visit our website or ask for our DVD, to view his races.

Chullo presents a unique opportunity for California breeders. You will not find a horse of this quality for this fee anywhere else in the U.S.

Chullo’s credentials and race record are as good as any that have come from South America in recent years.  Chullo had great speed that he could extend to the classic distances. He was unquestionably a top-class Grade 1 horse. -Richard Mandella

By Equalize (Northern Jove – Zonta, by Dr. Fager), $1,455,298, leading sire in Argentina (1998), sire of 19 graded stakes winners, average winning distance of offspring 7 furlongs, known for precocity.  Out of Que Ilusion, by Cipayo, leading sire in Argentina (1983, 1984, 1987); leading broodmare sire in Argentina (1997, 1999).  Que Ilusion is a full sister to G2 (Arg) winner Brady and G1 (Arg)-placed Whiskadao. Chullo injured a suspensory ligament in his last race in Argentina, and never completely recovered. Unfortunately, Chullo never had a real chance to show his great talent in the U.S.  You can only appreciate his quality and superior looks by asking to see the video of his best races in Argentina.

Let the misfortune of his injury be your advantage!  You will not find a horse of this quality for this fee anywhere else in the U.S.

2005 Stud fee: $3,000 LFG, payable September 1 of year bred.
