Sire prospect par excellence As a 1,300,000gns yearling and a half-brother to Group 1-winning 2YO and brilliant Guineas winner Magna Grecia, much was expected of St Mark’s Basilica. Suffice to say, he didn’t disappoint. In a glorious 12-month period he notched up five straight Group 1 wins in three different countries defeating the best of his own and the older generations. The only horse since Frankel to be rated higher by Timeform than every one of his contemporaries in Europe at both 2 & 3 years. Stallion prospects don’t come any better! St Mark’s Basilica
