Standing at Ashford Stud
2005 Stud Fee: $30,000
In 2001, Johannesburg put up one of the most sensational
juvenile campaigns in history. In his native Europe he won
his first six starts, five of them stakes including three
grade ones races in three different countries: the Prix
Morny in France, the Middle Park in England and the Phoenix
in Ireland. With Europe’s juvenile set successfully
conquered, Johannesburg shipped to America to face the best
of the North American two year-olds. The results were the
same. The son of 1995 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile runner-up
Hennessy, won the race his sire narrowly lost and earned
Championships honors on a second continent.
