BOSCACCIO - ONE NOMINATION FOR THE 2024 BREEDING SEASON  

Standing at: Redinagh Stud (IRE)

Boscaccio was bred by Gestut Fahrhof out of the winning Medicean mare Bianca De Medici, who hails from the immediate family of outstanding dual Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe heroine, Treve.

He was trained by Christian Sprengel to win his first four races, including the Listed Grosser Preis der Hannoverschen Volksbank-Derby Trial by three lengths and the Oppenheim-Union-Rennen, a leading trial for the Deutsches Derby won by the likes of Network, Novellist and Sea The Moon in other years, in decisive fashion.

Boscaccio was sent off a short-priced favourite for the German Derby but suffered an injury in the race, which blunted his brilliance thereafter, although he did manage another success at Hoppegarten.

National Hunt runners by Mount Nelson conceived at the sire’s original home of Newsells Park Stud included Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle and Stayers’ Hurdle hero Penhill and smart sorts such as Get In The Queue, Havingagoodtime and Nelson’s Touch.

Mount Nelson covered large books of National Hunt mares for three seasons from 2017 to 2019 before his untimely death aged 15.
