BS: You must be very excited about Sottsass. I understand you've sent a lot of good mares to him. PB: Yes I have. His first crop are now weanlings and he has had some very good-looking foals... I bred a lot of stakes-winning mares to him. What I do is, I give the stallion mares over a three-year period and the best mares will probably be sent to him in year two and three so that the quality is maintained Sottsass’ owner Peter Brant in an interview with Brian Sheerin, TDN, 4 Aug

We have 3 foals by Sottsass at Monceaux. They have a lot of presence, good size and conformation, and a great walk. I will use him again in 2023. “

I have been observing the foals bred by Peter Brant since they were born and based on what I’ve seen the future for Sottsass looks very bright. I’ve also seen a particularly nice colt out of We Are Ninety who won a Listed race for the late Evie Stockwell and Lady Mimi Manton PAUL SHANAHAN
