About the horse

Catalog No. 34: KNOCK KNOCK, mare, for sale at MenhammarOnlineSales on August 16.

Walner is considered one of the world’s most sought-after stallions, and with Muscle Hill as his maternal grandfather, his lineage includes Venerable, Ari Ferrari J, and Special Way! An exquisite combination that is further enhanced here by a dam line that has produced major race winners on both sides of the Atlantic!

Dik Dik is a young daughter of Muscle Hill with distinguished maternal lineage. Her dam, Pantholops, won the Zweig Memorial and the Duenna as a three-year-old and finished fourth in the Breeders’ Crown that same year; as a four-year-old, she placed second in the Miss Versatility. As a four-year-old, she also finished fourth in the Breeders Crown at Woodbine behind Tamla Celeber. She comes from Pompanette’s formidable maternal line, which has produced horses such as the Hambletonian winner Duenna, the Gold Division winner Garros, and the Kriterium runner-up Bengan. Pantholops sired Chiru (b. 2017), who set a Swedish record of 1:13.0 over 2,640 meters as a four-year-old and finished third in the Jubileumspokalen behind San Moteur. Walner has only 13 Swedish-born offspring as of 2025.
