Jukebox Jury's first 
four foals are a hit

 BY BLOODSTOCK WORLD STAFF11:31AM 30 JAN 2014 

THE first four foals by Irish St Leger winner and Gestüt Etzean sire Jukebox Jury have been born.

The first arrival was a filly out of the Sri Pekan mare Fujairah born in Switzerland for breeder Fritz von Ballmoos.

She was followed by three colts born at Etzean - a son of the Listed-winning Dashing Blade mare Lilia, a grandson of champion Alte Zeit who is closely related to last season's John of Gaunt Stakes winner Amarillo and a half-brother to last year's Deutsches Derby third Nordvulkan.

"All his foals are correct and have a quality head and presence," said Etzean manager Ralf Kredel. "We could not have been happier with this start and are looking forward to seeing more of his offspring."

A €270,000 Arqana yearling purchase, Jukebox Jury was trained by Mark Johnston for Alan Spence.

The son of Montjeu won nine of his 22 starts, including two Group 1s - the Irish St Leger and the Preis von Europa - and four Group 2s, among them the Royal Lodge Stakes at two.

Jukebox Jury covered more than 70 mares in his first season at Etzean last year, making him the second busiest sire in Germany.
