AMATOL, the class I Bangalore horse is bred by Gainsville from our mare Kiss And Tell. Kiss And Tell was a good juvenile filly in Bombay finishing 2nd to Cape Dance, Mariana, etc. and was then sent to Calcutta where she won 6 races in all of which 4 in a row and was nominated for the Sprinters' Cup. She was retired to Chanhill Farm specifically to visit the dual 2000 Guineas winner Tirol. This mating was planned by Gautam Lala and AMATOL is the second foal of this mating, the first being the retained Eglevsky. The Tirol-Kiss And Tell mating is not fluke. If you look at the six generation pedigree, it has all the right ingredients for success. AMATOL is inbred 4x4 to Forli through sons, 4x4 to siblings Great Nephew and Close Relation through their dam Sybil's Niece. Further back, he is linebred 6Dx5Sx6D to Nearco. In the sixth remove we have six strains of Hyperion, 5 of which through his sons and one through his daughter. Also, there are three strains of sister Sarah of which two from her daughter Sybil's Sister and the third from her daughter Lady Angela. This mating is also based on the famous Northern Dancer-Forli nick which produced Nureyev. AMATOL has placed 3rd in the Chief Minister's Cup Gr.3 at Bangalore on his first attempt at a group race facing older horses.
