Standing at Northwood Park, VIC
Proven Speed: Five-time Group winner over sprint trips including the all-important G1 1,200m WFA sprint.
Early Exposure: Two Saturday juvenile wins pre-Christmas at The Valley and Royal Randwick.
Developed in the autumn winning the G3 Kindergarten Stakes by 2 ½ lengths during The Championships.
Quick as a flash: Won the G2 Roman Consul Stakes in a faster time than established sires Exceed And Excel, Fastnet Rock, Zoustar, Brazen Beau and Russian Revolution.
Focus: Raced consistently in the best company for three seasons.
Resolution: Won from on-pace and back in the field.
Paulele was strongly supported in his first season at stud. His debut book consisted of nine mares from the Godolphin broodmare band, including a G3-winning sister to Snitzel. In addition to quality support from outside breeders like Merricks Station, who sent their G1 producer, Ocean Dream, the dam of Thousand Guineas winner, Amphitrite.

Pedigree notes
Paulele is the epitome of the ideal Australian commercial sire - a brilliantly fast Stakes-winning two-year-old, three-year-old and four-year-old. He was precocious, tough and fast. A quality G1 winner with natural early pace, he could still unleash a devastating turn of foot from just off the leaders, putting many elite sprinters and G1 winners away in a matter of strides. On-pace racing style and explosive acceleration are two key attributes for sire success - Paulele has both.
Nicks/ Inbreeding / Linebreeding options
Paulele is entirely free of Encosta de Lago, More Than Ready, Sir Tristram and Roberto blood, all of which have yielded very positive outcomes when crossed with the Sadler’s Wells and Danehill lines which dominate his pedigree.
Inbreeding to the mare Rolls (Mr Prospector – Grand Luxe by Sir Ivor) has been very successful resulting in G1 winners Alligator Blood, Fangirl, Mascarpone, Mizzy and Speak Fondly as well as high-class gallopers Aethero, The Astrologist, Buenos Noches and Sejardan.
Paulele’s dam is by Flying Spur who has developed a very strong nick with More Than Ready. This cross is responsible for Golden Slipper winner and successful sire Sebring plus G1 winners Wellington and Forbidden Love. Mares by Sebring and sons might also suit giving inbreeding to Flying Spur which has produced three Stakes winners to date.
Paulele’s 2nd dam is by Last Tycoon whose sire is from the family of influential mare Best In Show. Champion sire Redoute’s Choice has his best results out of Last Tycoon mares, all the progeny being inbred to Best In Show who is Redoute’s Choice’s fourth dam. There are 14 G1 winners bred on this cross including Espiona, Joliestar, Incentivise, Shout The Bar, Dariana and Bonaria.
Paulele’s pedigree has multiple lines of Northern Dancer but only a single of Mr Prospector via his daughter Rolls. Sending Mr Prospector-line mares could prove a worthwhile option.
