Valhalla Valkyrie
A Note from Pre-Trainer
"From day one, this filly has stood out. She has excellent conformation and is a beautiful, fluid mover with a ground-covering stride that suggests she’ll have no trouble with distance. What truly impresses me is her intelligence and attitude; she has an endless reserve of stamina and is always willing to work, yet she also possesses a genuine competitive fire.
She is what we call 'game as a badger'—a natural leader with the toughness and dominance you love to see in a top-class prospect. She has all the raw materials to be a very special horse."
2021 Bay Filly | Mondialiste (IRE) x Imshivalla (IRE)
Introduction: A Filly Bred for Greatness in Both Worlds
We are thrilled to present Valhalla Valkyrie, a filly with a truly exceptional profile. It is rare to find a young horse who possesses not only the class and speed for the flat but also a deep, proven pedigree for National Hunt racing. Valhalla Valkyrie is that rare find.
From her Group 1 winning sire to her incredibly tough, high-earning dam and a family packed with high-class jumping talent, she has all the ingredients to become a formidable force. Our plan is to campaign her as a dual-purpose horse, embarking on an exciting journey that could take her owners to the biggest meetings on both the flat and jumps calendars.
The Sire: MONDIALISTE
Valhalla Valkyrie is sired by the top-class globetrotter Mondialiste. A son of the legendary Galileo, Mondialiste was a multiple Group 1 winner, showcasing his class, stamina, and explosive turn of foot on the world stage.
Elite Performer: His career was highlighted by stunning victories in the Grade 1 Arlington Million in the USA and the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile in Canada.
Soundness & Durability: He was a tough and consistent performer, racing until the age of six and competing in the top races in France, the UK, the USA, Canada, and Hong Kong.
Stamina Influence: As a son of Galileo, Mondialiste imparts the stamina and tenacity essential for success, attributes that are invaluable for a dual-purpose career and particularly crucial for the demands of National Hunt racing.
The Dam & Maternal Family: A Legacy of Toughness and Talent
A horse's heart comes from its mother, and Valhalla Valkyrie is fortunate to have a dam who was the definition of tough, genuine, and talented.
IMSHIVALLA (IRE): The Iron Mare
Her dam was the fantastic Imshivalla, a warrior on the racecourse. Her record speaks for itself:
A Prolific Winner: She won 8 races from 1 mile to 1m 6f.
High-Class Earner: She amassed over £112,000 in prize money.
Durable & Sound: She raced an incredible 68 times, demonstrating the soundness and constitution that are vital for a long and successful career.
Proven Class: She achieved a lofty Racing Post Rating of 102 and won at prestigious tracks like Ascot.
A Family of Jumpers
The quality doesn't stop with her dam. This is a family rich in National Hunt talent, making Valhalla Valkyrie a natural jumping prospect:
Handazan (IRE): Imshivalla’s half-brother was a high-class jumper, winning 5 races (both hurdles and chases) and achieving a superb peak Racing Post Rating of 152. This proves there is serious jumping ability coursing through these veins.
Commercial Appeal: Further highlighting the quality of the family, Valhalla Valkyrie's half-brother by Havana Grey sold for an impressive £50,000 at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale in 2024.
Conformation & Outlook
Valhalla Valkyrie is a well-balanced, athletic filly who moves well. She has the scope and quality inherited from her sire, combined with the substance and tough physique reminiscent of her dam. She possesses a bright and willing outlook, and we believe she has the mental fortitude required for the challenges of racing.
The Racing Plan
Our strategy is designed to unlock her exciting dual-purpose potential.
Valhalla Valkyrie will begin her career in National Hunt Flat races (bumpers). This is the perfect educational starting point for a high-quality National Hunt prospect, allowing her to develop her strength and racing craft.
Following her bumper campaign, the long-term vision is to campaign her over hurdles while also taking advantage of her flat pedigree by targeting suitable races on the turf. This versatile approach opens up a world of possibilities and ensures a busy and exciting career for her owners.
