VALUJEVKA, Grey mare, *1993 (Karnaval / Vesna).
Breeder : Kossack Stud; Owner: Tersk Stud, Russia.
Strain: Seglawieh (Warda OA).
Valujevka was awarded Russia’s 2011 Waho Trophy. This lovely grey is one of the most valuable broodmares of the modern Russian broodmare stock. It is her input that increased interest in the important racing damline descending from the mare Sapine (1923 by Djebel out of Samara) who was one of the foundation mares at Tersk, imported there from France in 1930.
In her own racing career, Valujevka proved to be sound, fast and courageous. From 6 runs, she won 3 races including the Group I Great Prize for fillies (Oaks) and she was 3rd against the colts in the Group I Great Russian Cup (Derby). Two of her daughters, Valensia by Nougatin and Vestfalia by Marwan have followed in her hoof-prints to also win the Group I Great Prize for fillies (Oaks).
Presently, the Valujevka family consists of eleven active broodmares and four breeding stallions and is now well into the next generations, with many top class wins on racetracks not only in Russia but also around the world. Her best progeny, up to 2 generations, include the following:
