Australia’s yearling sales in 2025 saw a strong top end concluding with the 2025 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale where the average and median both increased on 2024, and the trends have continued as the yearling market in the Northern Hemisphere begins to take shape.
France’s Arqana August Yearling Sale average was up 22%, while in America, records have been set everywhere. Fasig-Tipton’s Saratoga Sale grossed over US$100 million for the first time in their 104-year history and the sale sold 25 seven figure yearlings, easily beating their previous record of 14. The average price was up 18%, which is remarkable given that 2024 was the previous record high average.
Keeneland’s September Sale broke records during the first week, with 53 seven figure horses selling on the first four days of the mammoth 12-day sale, and the gross reached over $307 million. Book 1 posted an increase in the average of 13.4% while Book 2’s average increased by 18.1%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 10% over the past twelve months with the ASX recording similar gains. These are usually positive indicators for thoroughbred breeders and so far the Northern Hemisphere yearling sales are confirming these trends for anyone participating in commercial bloodstock markets.
The passing of Snitzel and Fastnet Rock in recent months signals a changing of the guard in the stallion ranks. Zoustar won his first Australia Champion Sire title last season, and he has already joined I Am Invincible and Snitzel on the leader board in the yearling sale market. In 2025, Home Affairs became the inaugural First Season Sire to top both the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, so the expectations around his future are immense. With Written Tycoon in the twilight of his career, the question turns to the newer brigade with horses like Wootton Bassett, whose feats in the Northern Hemisphere have been outstanding, while Too Darn Hot has had a significant fee rise thanks to his First and Second Season Sire titles in Australia. Ole Kirk, who won Champion First Season Sire last season, looks promising, while Extreme Choice continues to be outstanding statistically without large numbers on the ground.
Australia’s yearling sales in 2026 will see the first crops of Gr1 winners Anamoe, Artorius, Hitotsu, In The Congo, Jacquinot, Paulele, State Of Rest, etc. Anamoe’s initial book rivalled that of Home Affairs, so the next round of yearling sales has plenty of sire power on offer.

FRONT COVER: Dual Gr1 winner Celestial Legend stands his first season at Woodside Park in Victoria for the 2025 season. Celestial Legend ( Dundeel - Sarraqa by Snitzel ) won as a 2yo and following victory in the time-honoured Hobartville S he won two of Australia’s most prestigious Gr1 races, the ATC Randwick Guineas 1600m, and while still a 3yo the ATC Doncaster Handicap taking his record to 4 wins for earnings of over $3.46 million. Winning at 1200m, 1400m and 1600m, Celestial Legend displayed a rare combination of brilliance and toughness that makes him an exciting sire prospect. He is by emerging sire of sires Dundeel whose two young sons at stud Super Seth and Castelvecchio are both multiple Gr1 producing sires. His dam is by multiple champion sire Snitzel and his grandam was the Champion Older Female Sprinter in Britain. Master trainer, the ever conservative Les Bridge, conditioner of Golden Slipper winner Sir Dapper, Melbourne cup winner Kensei and spectacular The Everest winner Classique Legend, declared Celestial Legend to be the best horse he has ever trained. Standing at 16 HH, the striking grey Celestial Legend has impressed all who have seen him and stands for a first season fee of $27,500 including gst.

The commercial market in Australia loves a precocious, fast horse, and Vandeek fits the bill perfectly. Arrowfield Stud’s announcement that the dual Gr1 winning juvenile will join their ranks for 2025 is one that will be welcomed by the market, because he is exactly the type of horse that the market adores.
by Renée Geelen
He’s a great-looking, unbeaten Champion two year-old by a brilliant young stallion – that all makes Vandeek an attractive prospect for us, especially in light of the Australian market’s enthusiasm for stallions like Too Darn Hot and Wootton Bassett, with top-class European two year-old sprint form,” said John Messara.
Unbeaten in four starts at two, Vandeek hit the headlines before he’d raced when he was the joint-sale topper at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale in 2023 selling to Anthony Stroud Bloodstock for 625,000 guineas, which works out at approximately A$1.3 million. An impressive pinhook for Glending Stables, who’d purchased him for 42,000 guineas as a yearling, Vandeek is from Havana Grey’s second crop and with the Craven Sale in April, there wasn’t a lot of time for Havana Grey’s first crop to show their potential before Vandeek was sold there, suggesting that Vandeek made that money on his athletic type and the talk about Havana Grey’s first crop juveniles who were about to pounce. “
And pounce they did. His first crop, born in 2020 and currently in their five yearold season, now boasts 12 individual stakes winners and he was the Leading First Season Sire of Europe in 2022. Vandeek headlines Havana Grey’s second crop, which currently numbers nine stakes winners, and in total the exciting young stallion has 26 stakes winners and counting. In 2025, Whitsbury Manor Stud announced that Havana Grey’s fee would be private, having shot up each season from his opening fee of £8,000 to £55,000 in 2024.
Vandeek is advertised by Arrowfield Stud as being 16.1 ½ hh, and the imposing colt debuted at Nottingham as a July two year-old, which is the equivalent of a February juvenile in Australia. On debut, he flew home late to win quite easily. Ridden by Andrea Atzeni, Vandeek was sent out as favourite but was very green on debut, not best away but quickly showed his talent and put paid to the
rest of the field, flying home to win by a length rather easily. “What an engine this horse has got,” said the commentator after the race.
From there, Vandeek was set for the Gr2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood, and he sat mid-field, then showed his customary sprint to accelerate home and win by a couple of lengths going away from the field. Sent to France for the Gr1 Prix Morny, Vandeek showed he’d learned his racing craft but when he began to make his run at the 300 metre mark, he got caught in traffic. Once free, he quickly caught the leader, subsequent Gr1 winner Ramatuelle, and the pair fought hard over the last 100 metres until Vandeek stuck his head in front on the line. It was another impressive, tough performance by Vandeek.
For his fourth start as a two year-old, Vandeek returned home to England for the time-honoured Gr1 Middle Park Stakes, where he struck a good track
for the first time in his career, having only run on soft surfaces up till this start. He travelled well during the running, sprinting clear at the end to win by nearly three lengths. The field included Starlust who went on to win the 2024 Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint and who will stand his first season at Riverstone, and Lake Forest who won this season’s Golden Eagle.
The Middle Park Stakes first ran in 1866, and was restricted to colts in 1987. Havana Grey’s damsire and now Champion Sire Dark Angel won the race in 2007.
“A brilliant two year-old and his amazing turn of foot set him apart from the others. He had a wonderful temperament and he was such a great pleasure to train. His Juddmonte Middle Park victory was sensational and I don’t think I’ve seen a better winner of that race,” co-trainer Simon Crisford said.

His Juddmonte Middle Park victory was sensational and I don’t think I’ve seen a better winner of that race,” co-trainer Simon Crisford said.
Crowned Champion 2YO Colt in France, Vandeek resumed at three in the Gr2 Sandy Lane Stakes, running third, then went to the Gr1 July Cup on a good track, where he ran his usual style of race but picked the unfavourable side of the track with the winner Mill Stream also coming back the rear of the pack but up the other side of the track to win, with Vandeek hitting the line hard for third.
All six of Vandeek’s starts were at 1200 metres, for four wins and two thirds a wonderful form profile for stud success in Australia. He sustained a minor injury after the July Cup and was retired to stud. From the second crop of exciting young sire Havana Grey, who won the Gr1 Flying Childers Stakes over 1000 metres. Havana Grey’s progeny have been incredibly successful as juveniles, and this bodes well for his son Vandeek to provide the type of horse the Australian commercial market loves. A grandson of Teofilo from a Dark Angel mare, Havana Grey brings some interesting blood to Australia that should cope well with more Danehill.
Havana Grey’s sire Havana Gold was a Gr1 winner at three, and the leading UK-based sire of two year-olds in 2021. His successful sire, Teofilo who was a Gr1 winning son of Champion Sire Galileo, shuttled to Australia with good success, leaving Gr1 winners Happy Clapper, Palentino, Kermadec, Humidor, and Sonntag, while his European sired Gr1 winners are headlined by three Melbourne Cup winners in Without A Fight, Twilight Payment, and Cross Counter.
Kermadec has been a solid stallion at stud with eight stakes winners, but impressively four of those are at Gr1 level; Amokura, Montefilia, Tuvalu, and Willowy, while Singapore Horse Of The Year Lim’s Kosciuszko is another.
Havana Grey’s combination of the Galileo sireline with the early maturing sprinter damsire of Dark Angel is likely part of why he is continuing to emerge as one of the most exciting young sires in Europe. Vandeek is from the family of Anabaa, whose 88 stakes winners including
Australasian Gr1 winners Headturner, Anabandana, Anacheeva, Iamananabaa, Teranaba, Virage De Fortune, and Yell, and additionally Anabaa has been a spectacularly successful broodmare sire with 143 stakes winners from his daughters led by Treve, Stay Inside, Buffering, Hartnell, English, Dissident, and Microphone.
Vandeek’s dam, Mosa Mine (Exceed And Excel-Baldemosa, by Lead On Time) produced this season’s Gr2 Royal Ascot Coventry Stakes winning juvenile Gstaad (Starspangledbanner), so sending mares by Starspangledbanner to Vandeek would replicate this cross in a fashion.
As well as Anabaa, the family includes Anabaa’s dam, Gr1 winner Balbonella, who is a half-sister to Vandeek’s second dam, and Gr1 winners Always Loyal, Shonan Adela, and Gr2 winner and sire Country Reel.
Exceed And Excel as a damsire is responsible for 123 stakes winners, and with a broad cross section of stallions that his daughters have crossed well with, there is plenty for fans of Vandeek to
work with. Exceed And Excel’s 14 other Gr1 winners as damsire, leaving out Vandeek, are by Galileo (2), Medaglia d’Oro (2), No Nay Never (2), Sepoy, Lonhro, Street Boss, Kizuna, Power, Beneteau, Vancouver, and Kermadec which brings in that same sireline cross again.
Havana Grey’s 24 stakes winners are out of mares by a wide variety of stallions; Exceed And Excel (3), Sahkee’s Secret (2), Swiss Spirit (2), with the rest including several horses with local form and familiar to Australian and New Zealand breeders like Iffraaj, Holy Roman Emperor, Choisir, Charm Spirit, Elnadim, Foxwedge, and Street Cry, as well as Dansili, Verglas, Compton Palace, Gregorian, Kitten’s Joy, Arcano, Bahamian Bounty, Equiano, Cadeaux Genereux, and Diktat.
With plenty of early running speed, and from an elite thoroughbred family that is proven in Australia Vandeek looks a likely prospect for the future. He stands at Arrowfield Stud in 2025 for $22,000 including GST.

Racing Victoria CEO Aaron Morrison gave us some of his time recently, during the busy period that is the lead in to the spring carnival, and we enjoyed having a chat about his past, his current role, his love of racing and the directions he is keen in seeing it head.
He was a bit of a rogue!” Aaron Morrison recalled of his late grandfather Ernie who helped plant the seeds of racing interest into his family, a man who would undoubtedly get a chuckle out of his grandson’s role as Racing Victoria’s CEO. Ernie liked his racing but not quite in the same official way. His business, a bottle recycling depot in Kensington was a stone’s throw from Flemington racecourse. A business and location which allowed his side hustle; pencilling for an illegal SP bookmaker!
Many of us whose grandparents loved a punt have stories to tell of those days, a bet via the local butcher or the shady looking guy on the street corner. Melbourne may not have been quite Peaky Blinders but there were certainly opportunities for a quiet gamble on days when you could not make it to the track. Fast forward a few decades and Aaron is relishing his role steering Victorian racing with one aspect of his job being the management of gambling and revenue; the streams that provide some 85% of the industry’s income certainly far more regulated than they were in Ernie’s day. Aaron’s interest in racing began with a casual punt meeting up with friends at the local pub and TABS, enjoying the social aspects of cheering on racehorses.
Time spent as “an ex-pat kid” in Hong Kong further cemented Aaron’s enjoyment of racing with the view out of his bedroom window being the spectacular racetrack that is Happy Valley. “I started to follow the horses and I really loved it,” Aaron said. Putting himself through university by working part time as a waiter at the Crown Casino, Aaron impressed his employers so much that he was able to work his way, as we say in racing, through the grades. For nearly ten years he was Crown’s Finance And Strategy Manager, then for another five and a half years Senior Vice President International Development.
When he started at Crown it was owned by Lloyd Williams and later by the Packer family, Aaron recalling their great interest
in the sport with many racing functions held at the casino; enjoying memories of Bart Cummings, Lee Freedman and Gai Waterhouse in attendance. And he loved the yearly Call Of The Card, the Melbourne Cup Eve tradition that he says has “lost traction” in recent years, a tradition he is keen to reinvigorate. The Call of the Card will be back at the Crown Palladium bigger than ever this year, with the biggest punters, including Kingsley Bartholemew seeking to win $1 million on the race, taking on the biggest bookies. “It was such a staple of Cup Week,” he said. Aaron then worked firstly as Group General Manager of Corporate Development and Investor Relations for SkyCity Entertainment, then as Group General Manager of Adelaide Casino where he also worked with government cultivating expertise in the fields of licensing and regulation. From there he spent time as CEO of the hospitality (pubs) group Sand Hill Road, enjoying an interlude and helped open some of Melbourne’s most famous venues including the Garden State Hotel and the Espy. All of this, he said, set him up nicely for a move into the racing world.
Time at RSN (the Victorian racing radio station), Racing.com and Racing Victoria saw him gain insights into how racing works with further experience at Racing Victoria as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Operating Officer placing him in good stead for the big job. Especially as he had gained expertise within the areas of government regulation, product fees and taxation which “had a real relevance” to his role in helping chart the course for Racing Victoria’s future sustainable funding outlook. That experience coupled with all he learned from his previous roles undoubtedly set him up well. “It has been a nice trifecta,” he laughed, “working in the worlds of casinos, pubs and racing. They share common elements of fun, gambling, entertainment, hospitality and events.”
After stepping into the position of interim CEO in May last year, Aaron
was officially appointed in August. At the core of that was Aaron’s ambition to refocus Racing Victoria back on racing’s participants. “If they are happy, if they are made to feel important and valued, then the whole sport benefits. “Aaron cites his time at casinos where he was answerable to shareholders, noting that in racing that is even more important as a racing person isn’t the average investor.
“People invest everything they have into racing, it is not just a job or a hobby its their blood, sweat and tears. I want to ensure that all participants feel that what they are doing is sustainable and from there the sport can continue to grow.” Aaron recognises that not everything Racing Victoria does is going to please everyone but he wants everyone to feel that they are “moving in the same direction.” “Racing is certainly fragmented with so many people in different areas with sometimes competing agendas. But I think that we can recognise that we all want what is best for the sport.”
“We want Racing Victoria to be transparent, so we share data and include people in our decisions. We might not always do what everyone wants but we want everyone to know that they are being listened to.” Aaron has all sorts of issues to contemplate, another being the rising costs of Workcover premiums, something he continues to work on. For a period of time, a percentage of prizemoney was diverted to off-set costs whilst funding was provided to the Australian Trainers Association (ATA) to enable them to educate trainers in how best to run their business in regards to occupational health and safety. “We are still lobbying government to show them that racing belongs in a different risk category and is different to other industries we are currently grouped with. We haven’t made much headway yet but it is still very high on the agenda.”
Making ownership attractive is another of Aaron’s aims and he is proud of the figures that show that nearly half of all
registered racehorse owners in Australia are in Victoria. He is an owner himself, currently having shares in nine horses whilst encouraging Racing Victoria staff to become owners, noting that racing horses fosters “a real understanding of the cycle” of a racehorse’s life from racing through to retirement and beyond. “One of the positive aspects of Australian racing is our ownership model. It is not perfect as every system has its challenges but it is great that people have the opportunity to become small owners.” And he loves the idea that each of those people can spread the word. “Owners can be our best advocates.”
He would like to see the experiences of ownership and breeding made simpler, noting that the paperwork involved can be a bit off- putting and calling for a range of necessary systems improvements at Racing Australia, touching also upon the recent publicity regarding penalties for late mare returns and foal ownership declarations as another concern. Public perception of racing is always on the agenda and whilst Aaron said that “I really don’t like the term ‘social licence’, but we do have to be aware of how we are viewed.” Reputation tracking is something Racing Victoria utilizes, Aaron pleased by recent progress in the way in which racing is judged, noting that “we have been tracking much better over the last 12 months.”
Keeping positive about our sport is something he is very keen on, putting into place simple yet effective measures such as encouraging everyone at Racing Victoria - and in the sport - to talk about welfare. “In the past we were only reactive, we would wait for an issue to arise. But I think we should be talking about it all the time, celebrating all those wonderful horse people out there doing such a great job with horses off the track.” Aaron is of course fully aware of some of the negative connotations around gambling but wants to stand up to that. “Gambling is an inseparable part of racing, we cannot step back from that.”
A government review into gambling advertising has had many in racing concerned, especially as we see changes to the way racing is taxed in the United Kingdom, but Aaron has his finger on the pulse letting politicians know that racing is not the same as the pokies for example. “We are spending a lot of time advocating
for racing, pushing home the fact that racing is different. It is a massive sport, a massive employer and it is so important socially, especially in regional areas where for many country towns their Cup is the biggest day of the year.”
Ensuring healthy connections with government is key and Aaron was recently in Canberra and at the opening of the Melbourne Spring Carnival at Parliament House where Living Legends horses Twilight Payment and Fawkner were
“People invest everything they have into racing, it is not just a job or a hobby, it’s their blood, sweat and tears. I want to ensure that all participants feel that what they are doing is sustainable and from there the sport can continue to grow.”
star guests, one of them having a cheeky nibble on one of Aaron’s fingers as he attempted to feed him a carrot! “Everyone loved seeing the horses there,” he said, noting that over 40 politicians came out to have photos taken with the retirees. “Horses have a calming way about them and I have said to my team that we should be ensuring that we have horses at every racing occasion.”
Aaron also has some ideas on how race days are run. He recently travelled to the UK where there has been a focus on entertainment, noting their access to the big names (Tom Jones a recent headliner) and he would like more of that locally; happy however for racegoers to enjoy their day before the music. He is looking forward to the extension of The Park and The Elms precincts at Flemington during Melbourne Cup week where
entertainment includes an equine focus with Living Legends setting up a site with racegoers able to engage directly with horses. He is also keen to have horses racing on the day continue to be accessible for everyone, keeping special social experiences in place whilst adapting the configuration on member only areas.
“The ‘you can’t be on this side of the line’ idea is antiquated,” he said. “You can still provide different experiences for everyone without having divisions. I think there is an opportunity to reinvent the race days.” Media is another issue Aaron feels strongly about, wanting racing to be proactive in the way it promotes itself. There are so many stories to be told. We have wonderful heroes, both human and equine and so much history. We need to tell them not just to Racing.com viewers who are already in the game, we need to get it all out there.”
The post racing careers of horses is also of great interest to Aaron who was happily surprised by the interest shown in the recent OTT two-day event held at Boneo Park. “We thought we’d get around a hundred horses entered but there were over 380! There were 17 classes of events supported by jockeys including Jamie Melham and Daniel Stackhouse and trainers Matt Laurie and Jason Warren. It is wonderful to be giving more horses off the track opportunities.”
As someone who has worked his way up the racing ladder without being born into it, Aaron is appreciative of the opportunities that racing people provide and he encourages newcomers to really put their hand up. “It can feel at first like racing is an inclusive club but if you embrace that and show that you are interested and committed people are really generous with their time. There are lots of smart and experienced people out there who are happy to help. BB

The legendary racing journalist Bill Whittaker rang me one day to say that “Les Bridge is the most conservative trainer I know, he never says he has a good thing. But he told me that he has quite a nice horse running this afternoon, so if you are in the mood for a bet I would strongly recommend it.”
I took his advice, made a wager, and duly collected when future Gr1 star Hot Danish won effortlessly later that afternoon taking her record to three wins from four starts.
So when such a conservative, modest trainer as Les Bridge says later in life, “This is the best horse I have ever trained” we should pay attention. That’s exactly how Les described the striking grey Celestial Legend after his Gr1 Randwick Guineas win.
The context is important. This is the man who trained Golden Slipper winner and 3yo champion Sir Dapper. This is the man who trained Melbourne Cup winner Kensei. This is the man who trained spectacular The Everest winner Classique Legend. And we must add that this is the man who trained the brilliant mare Hot Danish, winner of $2.3m, 16 wins from 31 starts, two Gr1s, six Gr2s and four times Gr1 placed and a good thing in a midweek Warwick Farm event.
Celestial Legend (Dundeel – Sarraqa by Snitzel ) won at Rosehill as a 2yo then had a spectacular 3yo season with a three race winning streak in iconic races The Hobartville S Gr2, Randwick Guineas Gr1 and Doncaster H Gr1. No place for the faint hearted in any of those, which have been won by the cream of the nation’s gallopers and sire prospects. Minor niggles halted the winning streak, but meant that Woodside Park could secure this elite performer ahead of some of Australia’s other top commercial farms and stand him for just $27,500 including GST. In hindsight this now appears somewhat of a coup, dare I say masterstroke, because not only does Celestial Legend’s sire Dundeel go from strength to strength at Arrowfield with 9 individual Gr1 winners and rising fast, but he is an emerging sire of sires. Waikato Stud NZ based son Super Seth has emerged as one of the hottest young commercial stallions in Australasia with 4 individual Gr1 winners from his first two crops. Dundeel stands for $88k including gst while Super Seth stands for NZ$75k + gst. At the same time Arrowfield’s young gun Castelvecchio also by Dundeel, has already sired two Gr1 winners El Castello and Aeliana who are among the best of their generation of either sex. Castelvecchio’s fee has risen from $22,000 to $49,500 in 2025 to reflect his success. The value proposition at Woodside for Celestial Legend is apparent.
With a dam by multiple champion sire and emerging broodmare sire Snitzel and a second dam who was a HOTY and Champion sprinter in South Africa and Britain, Celestial Legend is a very bright prospect for Woodside Park.
Woodside’s Nominations Manager Mark Dodemaide commented, “I feel we’ve been very fortunate to secure this striking grey stallion, he fits our plan to develop a leading commercial farm and he met all our requirements, being a Rosehill 2yo winner, a multiple Gr1 winner in his classic season in the very best company, by a young sire of sires and from a great family. His pedigree indicates that he should suit a wide range of broodmare sirelines and his High Chaparral line can certainly take more Danehill as his own line via Redoute’s Choice will be back in the fifth generation.
“Mares from the prolific Green Desert and Fastnet Rock broodmare sirelines should also suit Celestial Legend. Gr1 winner Linebacker is by Super Seth out of a mare by Green Desert’s son Oasis Dream and Gr1 winner Dunkel is by Dundeel out of a mare by Green Desert’s son Cape Cross. Daughters of I Am Invincible, Shalaa and Brazen Beau would fit the bill.
Group One Champion Stakes winner El Castello is by Castelvecchio out of a Fastnet Rock mare, Gr1 South Australian Derby winner Femminile is by Dundeel with a grandam by Fastnet Rock so mares by the current champion broodmare sire himself or by his sons Foxwedge or Your Song should suit. We have strong bookings from many of our best breeders and I’m confident they will be rewarded by Celestial Legend, he’s done everything right so far in his career. He showed both brilliance and toughness in his two Gr1 wins, a rare combination and he is a beautifully balanced horse standing 16HH, very much admired by everyone who sees him. His striking grey coat comes down via the Aga Khan’s Mumtaz Muhal via Zeddaan and Nishapour. Breeders will recall Zeddaan’s freakish son Adraan who stood in Australia, siring just 22 runners for seven stakeswinners including Magic Flute, Khaptivaan, Adraanito and El Vaquero.”
My great friend Bill Whittaker has passed on, so I’m afraid I will wait in vain for another quiet tip from Les Bridge, but Bluebloods readers certainly have one for a stallion prospect. BB

(Dundeel-Sarraqa, by Snitzel)
Standing at Woodside Park for $27,500
Winner of the Gr1 Doncaster Handicap as a three year-old in brilliant circumstances, Celestial Legend was a winner at two, who trained on and kept improving. His autumn at three was his moment to shine, winning the Gr2 Hobartville Stakes, Gr1 Randwick Guineas and Gr1 Doncaster in succession. He retired with four wins from 13 starts and earnings over $3 million.
His sire, Dundeel, was also a star of the autumn carnival and he’s quickly made his name as a stallion with nine Gr1 winners and his sons Super Seth and Castelvecchio are also beginning to look special with a Gr1 winner apiece in their first crop of three year-olds.
Celestial Legend’s dam is a Snitzel daughter of South African Horse Of The Year National Colour, who also produced Gr1 winner Rafeef, now a successful sire in South Africa, and Champion 2YO Colt and Gr1 winner Mustaaqeem.
(Written Tycoon – Graciousness, by Street Cry)
Stands at Yulong for $11,000
With Yulong’s Champion Sire Written Tycoon about to turn 23 this spring and thus entering the twilight of his career, the farm has retired Gr2 Danehill Stakes winner First Settler as a potential heir to the crown. He has many parallels to his sire, who was also a Gr2 winner.
First Settler stood out from early on, being a $750,000 yearling purchase by Yulong from Baramul Stud’s Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale draft, and he lived up to that promise quickly winning both his starts at two to head into his three year-old season unbeaten.
Pushed into stakes class immediately, First Settler ran second to Yulong’s Growing Empire when
resuming in the Listed Poseidon Stakes before winning the Gr2 Danehill Stakes. He sat at the rear of the field, not travelling that well for the first half, but picked himself up at the 400 metres and flew home along the fence to win from Reserve Bank, who went on to win the Gr1 Goodwood Handicap later in the season.
Written Tycoon’s son Ole Kirk has dominated headlines this season with his first two year-olds, and he joins Capitalist, Written By, Winning Rupert, and Rich Enuff as successful sons of Written Tycoon.
A half-brother to Listed winner Vienna Princess (Snitzel), First Settler is out of winning mare Graciousness (Street Cry) who is a half-sister to successful sire Casino Prince, sire of All Too Hard, and three other stakes winners being Tagus, Lord Of The Land, and Metallurgical. This is also the family of young unproven sires Best Of Bordeaux and Prince Fawaz.
(Zoustar-Miles Of Krishan, by Snitzel) Standing at Yulong for $22,000
One of only four colts to win Gr1 races at One of the most exciting sprinters of the 2024/25 season, Growing Empire was second on debut at two, he then won the Listed Valley Pearl Stakes and then was hugely impressive in the Gr3 SAJC Breeders Stakes where he jumped from the widest barrier, used speed to cross and lead, then accelerated away to trounce the field by over four lengths.
Resuming at three, Growing Empire won the Gr3 HDF McNeil Stakes then backed it up with victory in the Listed Poseidon Stakes, beating Yulong’s First Settler, to make it four stakes wins in succession. From there, Growing Empire was given an ambitious campaign, racing solely in Gr1 company for his next starts, placing in Southport Tycoon’s Gr1 Manikato Stakes, Bella Nipotina’s Gr1 The Everest and Switzerland’s Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes.
Bred on the same Redoute’s Choice inbreeding pattern as Gr1 winner Schwarz, also by Zoustar, Growing Empire joins Zoustar’s young sons at stud like Zousain, Lightsaber, Schwarz, Starlust, and Lean Mean Machine.
A $700,000 yearling purchase by Yulong from Vinery Stud, Growing Empire is out of Gr2 placed Miles Of Krishan (Snitzel) who has also produced Gr3 placed Dancing Alone (I Am Invincible). This is a very speedy family with Miles Of Krishan being a half-sister to NZ Champion 2YO Il Quello Veloce, with her dam being a half-sister to the dam
of five stakes winners, Tiger Tees, Ball Of Muscle, Terravista, Super Easy and Our Lukas. WA sire Long Leaf also features in this family.
(Dubawi – Minding, by Galileo Standing at Rosemont Stud for $22,000
Arguably, Henry Longfellow has the best pedigree of all the 2025 retirees being by International Champion Sire Dubawi out of European Horse Of The Year and seven-time Gr1 winner Minding, a daughter of Champion Sire Galileo.
And he did exactly what you’d want with that pedigree, being an unbeaten Gr1 winning two yearold who won the Gr1 National Stakes in dominant fashion. Back at three, he was multiple times Gr1 placed including second in the Gr1 St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot behind Rosallion who also won the Gr1 Irish 2000 Guineas and Gr1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere.
Dubawi’s sire son Too Darn Hot has been a sensation with 24 stakes winners already with his oldest foals only just turned four in the Northern Hemisphere and are still three year-olds here in Australia. Other sire sons like Night Of Thunder, New Bay, Zarak, and Makfi are joined by rising star Ghaiyyath.
Minding was an incredible racemare and she has an outstanding pedigree, being a full sister to dual Gr1 winner Tuesday and Gr1 winner Empress Josephine, as well as to Gr3 winner Kissed By Angels, and the group winning quartet are out of dual Gr1 winner Lillie Langtry (Danehill Dancer), and this family has worked in Australia with French Gr1 winner Place Du Carrousel who was second in the Gr1 Ranvet Stakes.
(I Am Invincible-Extremely, by Hussonet) Standing at Riverbank for $5,500
Twice a winner, Kingwell joins the roster at Riverbank in Benalla. The farm specialises in affordable stallions with outstanding pedigrees, and Kingwell certainly meets the mark being by Champion stallions I Am Invincible and being a half-brother to successful sire Extreme Choice. Extreme Choice, winner of the Gr1 Blue Diamond Stakes and Gr1 AJ Moir Stakes, has been a statistically superior stallion with seven Gr1 winners from small numbers at a rate of one Gr1 winner every 23 runners. He is only the second stallion to sire both a Gr1 Blue Diamond winner and a Gr1 Melbourne Cup winner, after the legendary breed shaper Sir Tristram. And Kingwell is his dual winning half-brother. Kingwell’s victories came at 1100 metres and 1150 metres. Both stallions are by superior sires, Extreme Choice being a son of Not A Single Doubt and Kingwell being a son of I Am Invincible. Their dam, Extremely (Hussonet) is an unraced daughter of Canadian Listed winner Going To Extremes. Kingwell’s other big attraction is that he is free of Danehill, yet with Extreme Choice from the Danehill sireline, breeders know this cross works with him.
With his half-brother standing for $330,000 in 2025, Kingwell looks excellent value at $5,500.
(More Than Ready-Ladies’ Privilege, by Harlan’s Holiday)
Standing at Yulong for $22,000
Milers make the best sires, as the saying goes, and More Than Looks won the Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Mile, as well as being twice Gr1 placed at a mile at four, both times going down to Carl Spackler who has recently transferred to Ciaron Maher for a Royal Ascot and Cox Plate campaign. More Than Looks won four of his eight starts at three including the Gr3 Manila Stakes before really showcasing his talents at four.
In winning the Gr. 1 Breeders’ Cup Mile, More Than Looks overcame a strong field that included eight individual Gr1 winners. Sitting at the rear of the field, he unleashed a massive sprint to win impressively.
As a son of More Than Ready, who was so successful in Australia, whose local sons Sebring and Better Than Ready have been wonderful stallions at stud, while More Than Ready’s son Gimmethegreenlight is Champion Sire in South Africa.
More Than Looks is an outcross to Danehill with a strong American female family, being out of Listed winner Ladies’ Privilege (Harlan’s Holiday), a full sister to the American dual Gr2 winner Takeover Target, who shares a name with one of Australia’s sprinting wonders. This is the family of dual Gr1 winner Critical Eye who won 14 races.
(I Am Invincible-No Evidence Needed, by Shamardal)
Standing at Lovatsville for $16,500
The first Gr1 winning juvenile for Champion sire
I Am Invincible, Move To Strike stood out early on, being a $525,000 purchase from Baramul Stud by David Ellis, whose record for selecting quality horses at the sales is outstanding. He picked another good one with Move To Strike, who rewarded his syndicate by winning on debut as a pre-Christmas two year-old.
Second to stablemate Bellatrix Star, who went on to Group success in Australia, in the Gr2 Eclipse Stakes, Move To Strike returned in the autumn to win the Gr1 Manawatu Sires Produce Stakes, defeating Captured By Love who won the Gr1 NZ 1000 Guineas at three. One of 17 Gr1 winners for I Am Invincible, Move To Strike made history as the first of I Am Invincible’s Gr1 winners to achieve the benchmark at two. He was joined this season by Vinrock.
I Am Invincible’s Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Home Affairs was the talk of the town with his first yearlings in 2025, while his other sire sons include Brazen Beau and Hellbent.
Move To Strike’s dam was a wonderful race mare, winning the Gr2 Let’s Elope Stakes and placing in the Gr1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes and Gr1 SAJC Oaks as well as running fourth in the Gr1 BTC Cup. She is by Shamardal who is also the damsire of emerging young sire Hello Youmzain and I Am Invincible’s star sprinter Imperatriz.
(Zoustar-Summer Sham, by Not A Single Doubt) Standing at Rosemont Stud for $38,500
Schwarz made headlines from the moment he stepped into the sale ring, selling to the Rosemont Victorian Alliance for $1.25 million, and he developed into a Group 1 winner for his soon-to-be crowned Champion Sire Zoustar.
A winner on debut as a spring three year-old, Schwarz won the Listed Amanda Elliott Stakes at his third start, then in the autumn he added the Gr3 Hawkesbury Guineas to book-end his season with wins. At four, he really came into his own, winning the Gr2 Missile Stakes and Gr2 Australia
Stakes on his way to winning the Gr1 William Reid Stakes. He retired with earnings over $1.35 million, exceeding his cost, and now heads to stud as a Group 1 winning son of Zoustar.
Zoustar is a young sire on the rise with eleven Group 1 winners, including Zougotcha who sold at the recent Magic Millions Broodmare Sale for $5.25 million. Zoustar’s young son Zousain has already showed plenty of promise with his oldest only three year-olds.
Schwarz is out of Gr2 Angus Armanasco Stakes winner Summer Sham (Not A Single Doubt), giving him the same close Redoute’s Choice cross as Growing Empire, and Schwarz brings in more of the Champion Sire as he’s from the same family too with his fourth dam being Redoute’s Choice’s dam Shantha’s Choice. This is a proven recipe for success.
(Written Tycoon-Ready To Rule, by More Than Ready)
Standing at Widden Victoria for $38,500
A Group 1 winner at three and four, Southport Tycoon won the time-honoured Gr1 Australian Guineas over a mile, then sprinted to win the Gr1 Manikato Stakes at four. On the way to earning a similar race record to Written Tycoon’s exciting son Ole Kirk, Southport Tycoon bested a multitude of Group 1 winners, and importantly, he’s Danehill free while carrying several lines that have thrived with Danehill.
Sold as a yearling by Daandine Stud, who also sold Gr1 Golden Slipper winner and successful sire Capitalist, Southport Tycoon stepped out as an early three year-old winning his first two starts, and from then on, only ran in stakes company bar once. With three group placings, Southport Tycoon came into the Gr1 Australian Guineas as one of the top hopes and he proved best on the day, winning by 1.3 lengths from Veight, who would go on to win the Gr1 George Ryder Stakes, and Riff Rocket, a dual Derby winner. As a spring four year-old, Southport Tycoon showed his speed and class in winning the Gr1 Manikato Stakes on resumption and he retires with four wins and earnings over $2.4 million.
Gr2 winner Champion stallion
Written Tycoon just gets better every year, and with 77 stakes winners, it has been his dual Gr1 winning young sire Ole Kirk who has been the headline maker this season. His best sire son is Gr1 Golden Slipper Capitalist who recently sired his second Gr1 winner with Reserve Bank, and horses like Written By and Dirty Work are showing promise.
Southport Tycoon is out of More Than Ready mare Ready To Rule who is a full sister to American Listed winner and Gr1 placed Grace And Power, who came to Australia and produced Gr1 winner Delectation, as well as Gracie’s Lass, the dam of Gr1 winner and young sire Artorius.
“When you think about the best racehorses currently standing at stud in Australia,” Lovatsville’s Sam White said, “in regards to pure ability and class, there are not many better than Gold Trip.”
by Kristen Manning
And when you look at form in the very best of races it is hard to disagree with Gold Trip a horse who showed a high degree of natural talent from the get-go. The second French bred Melbourne Cup-Gr1m 3200m winner on the heels of Dunaden 11 years previously, Gold Trip was bred by Michael Monfort who received €60,000 for him at the at the Arqana August Sale.
Campaigning in his native country, Gold Trip was runner-up at two of his first three races, choosing a very nice race in which to break his maiden, the Prix GreffulheGr2, 2200m. The form held up quickly from that race with the third placed In Swoop at his next start taking out the German Derby-Gr1, 2400m and another two Group races the following year. Disputing the lead early before taking a sit, Gold Trip showed good heart over the final stages, certainly a sign of things to come. After finishing unplaced in the French Derby, the handsome dark coated entire quickly returned to form with a Grand Prix de Paris-Gr1, 2400m third at his next outing; his two conquerors being the subsequent Hong Kong Vase-Gr1, 2400m winner Mogul and In Swoop. And at his next start he was well and truly thrown into the deep end, one of the few three year-olds taking their place in the 2020 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe-Gr1, 2400m. Running a gutsy fourth, Gold Trip had ahead of him the brilliant Sottsass, his old rival In Swoop and the multiple Group 1 winner Persian King.
Form analysts will tell you that who a horse beats home in a big race is an even bigger guide to class than those who they were beaten by and the list of horses who followed Gold Trip home in that Arc is a rather impressive one; the likes of Enable, Stradivarius and Deidrie.
Gold Trip raced three more times in France with two Group 1 placings seeing out his northern hemisphere career.
It was a costly exercise bringing him to Australia, the Ciaron Maher stable’s Will Bourne reporting that he was a $2.3 million land.
Gold Trip’s Australian adventure didn’t begin well, missing his first spring and autumn due to varying issues but when he did make it to the track, he immediately showed form. Good finishes for placings in the Listed Winter Challenge-1500m and the Naturalism Stakes-Gr3, 2000m saw him start favourite in Turnbull Stakes-Gr1, 2000m and he was a game fifth having been caught wide in a race not run to suit. Taking over with 200m to go, Gold Trip was nabbed only late by fellow import Durston in the Caulfield Cup-Gr1, 2400m and when back in distance contesting the W.S Cox Plate-Gr1, 2040m a week later he was desperately unlucky striking interference turning for home. Over the final 100m of the race he had nowhere to go, a real ‘what if’ moment for connections with Gold Trip less than three lengths from the winner Anamoe, going across the line along with Alligator Blood and Mr Brightside.
Weight-for-age form is good form for handicaps, even the big ones and with topweight of 57.5kg Gold Trip was able to atone for his unlucky day at Moonee Valley by writing his name into the history books on that famous First Tuesday In November. Settling midfield for Mark Zahra, Gold Trip was cruising coming to the turn and was let go early. In front with 300m to go he just kept going, his winning margin an impressive two lengths. Which came as no surprise to Ciaron Maher who noted that “we knew he had that good turn of foot.”
Gold Trip didn’t manage a win during his next campaign but the following spring was back to his best with his barnstorming Turnbull Stakes victory a memorable one; getting back from the outside gate of 16 and really letting rip over the final furlong with a dazzling sprint that would have done credit to a Newmarket H winner. Just under four lengths away in fourth was the race’s favourite, a horse who decided he wasn’t keen on being beaten from thereon; Romantic Warrior successful at his next eight outings with the W.S Cox Plate the first of his seven consecutive Group 1 victories in three countries. A gallant third racing in tight room under the steadier of 58.5kg at his next start in the Caulfield Cup, Gold Trip then returned to Moonee Valley where he was buried away along the rails, finishing off strongly once clear for a 1.4 length fifth behind Romantic Warrior. Pulling up lame from an unplaced second attempt at Melbourne Cup glory, Gold Trip looked to have a good autumn campaign ahead but after a fine finish for third in the Peter Young Stakes-Gr2, 1800m a tendon injury was discovered and retirement loomed.
Heading to stud as a dual Group 1 winner of over $7.3 million, Gold Trip had something rather special on his record; campaigns which saw him take his place in consecutive Caulfield Cups, Cox Plates and Melbourne Cups. Sam White wondered aloud at Lovatsville’s recent stallion parade if any other horse had such an achievement and it was Bluebloods’ own Andrew Reichard who dug into the history books, discovering that there has been only one other being the mighty Rising Fast in the mid 1950’s.
It was an easy decision for Lovatsville to take on not only such a talent, but such a good looker with Gold Trip always catching the eye.
“We stood him for a reason,” Sam White said, the farm’s faith in Gold Trip reinforced by the reception to him at the stallion parade. “He was the horse everyone was talking about. We had breeders who were seeing him for the first time having already sent mares to him and they were delighted.”
A Melbourne Cup win, White admits, is not always high on the agenda for many seeking a mate for their mares and he is aware that Gold Trip “will have to do it the hard way.”
“I keep reminding people that So You Think ran third in a Melbourne Cup,” he said, “and we do remind people that there is a lot more to Gold Trip than that race. His Arc fourth, his Turnbull win, his Cox Plate efforts, they all speak to his ability. And he was the sort of racehorse we should all want to breed, a horse with that class and durability to race on.”
It is a good time, White added, to turn things around in regards to staying pedigrees, noting that it has become very expensive to import and he is confident that there are enough local trainers with a love of middle distance and stamina who will be happy to give Gold Trip a chance. “I am sure the likes of Ciaron, Te Akau, Matt Cumani, Archie Alexander and Mick Kent would all be happy to have a Gold Trip in their stable.”
Standing at just over 16hh, Gold Trip is an undoubtedly a strikingly individual with the length and scope you’d expect, coupled with that European style of class. His pedigree is a lovely combination of the hemispheres with Gold Trip being one of the two rather special Danehill line Cup winners, Makybe Diva the other. He is best of the ten stakes winners sired by the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf-Gr1, 1600m winner Outstrip who is one of the six northern hemisphere bred Group 1 winners for the international success story that is Exceed And Excel. Outstrip is one of the 17 Exceed And Excel stallions to have sired stakes winners and one of the seven represented at Group 1 level. All up Exceed And Excel has 346 stakes winning descendants through his male line with an interesting variety of Group 1 horses including a recording breaking dual Dubai World CupGr1, 2000m winner in Thunder Snow, a couple of Golden Slipper Stakes-Gr1 1200m winners (Overreach and Kiamichi), several high class sprinters and of course, his Melbourne Cup winning grandson. Gold Trip is one of the four winners produced by Sarvana whose sire Dubai Destination has proven himself to be a broodmare sire of note with seven Group 1 winners amongst the 58 stakes winners produced by his daughters. Thunder Snow is amongst that group as is Golden Horn and Sam White had reason to take note of his genetic class just recently when a client booked in a mare with Dubai Destination in her pedigree.
Exceed and Excel
“We had a look at the stats and saw that there is a Group 1 placegetter amongst the first three runners line-bred to him.”
Changing hands for €280,000 after Gold Trip proved his worth, Sarvana is also dam of the stakes placed Got Wind and one of her granddaughters is displaying good ability; Jeudixx just recently Listed and Group 3 placed at her second and third starts off an easy debut win at Chantilly in June. Sarvana is a half-sister to the Group 1 placed Group 3 winner Sarkiyla whose son Saiydabad was also successful in Group 3 company. This is a classy Aga Khan family, one which has enjoyed further southern hemisphere success with the New Zealand OaksGr1, 2400m winner Vapour Trail.
Gold Trip’s pedigree is one of considerable depth with duplications of the outstanding mares Natalma (via Northern Dancer and Danehill), Special (Sadler’s Wells and Nureyev), Lalun (Bold Reason and Never Bend) and My Charmer (Lomond and Seattle Slew) all within seven generations. My Charmer is a member of the prolific Myrtlewood/Frizette family which also makes its presence felt in Gold Trip’s pedigree via Mr Prospector and Jet Pilot whilst other families with multiple representatives include Mumtaz Mahal, La Troienne, Stephanie and Cap And Bells.
It is a pedigree that makes him a viable option for a variety of broodmares such as members of the Encosta de Lago (son of Sadler’s Wells’ full and Nureyev’s 3/4 brother Fairy King), Sir Tristram (he boasts a rare strain of his relation Mossborough), Red Ransom (member of the same Fair Freedom family as Dubai Destination), Showdown (descendant of Democratie as is Dubai Destination), Dubawi (provides for crosses of the terrific mares Where You You Lead and Cap and Bells) and Warning (shares the same grandam, Where You Lead, as Gold Trip’s second dam sire Rainbow Quest) sire lines.

Swettenham Stud boasts a proud history of standing horses who have made a positive impact on the local breeding industry and its current roster is one which ensures that the Nagambie based farm will continue to make its mark.
Leading the way of course is the high achieving Toronado, the dual Group 1 winning miler whose current crop of two year-olds are those bred from the first year his service fee rose to $88,000 (incl GST). “He has bought in new clientele,” noted Swettenham’s Nominations Manager Marcus Heritage. “We are getting mares from Hunter Valley breeders, many of whom have not sent mares to Victoria before.”
Little wonder they want part of the action with Toronado’s progeny excellent both on the track (44 stakes winners including six Group 1 horses) and in the sales ring (his million dollar colt the equal highest priced at this year’s Inglis Melbourne Premier). Toronado is joined at Swettenham by the older statesman Puissance de Lune who has his fan base and by three younger up-and-comers; I Am Immortal, Wooded and Lofty Strike.
The first progeny sired by I Am Invincible’s speedy dual stakes winning son I Am Immortal have just turned four and his encouraging
start has been well noted by breeders. Already he has been represented by 21 winners with the Group 3 galloper Athanatos and the Showdown winner McGaw two of several showing above average talent. Another son of a hot stallion is Wooded, Wootton Bassett’s Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp-Gr1, 1000m winner whose first Australian runners are ready to race this spring. Already he is faring well in the northern hemisphere where his son Woodshauna was successful in the recent Prix Jean Prat-Gr1, 1400m.
In an even earlier stage of his career is the very fast and talented Lofty Strike whose first foals have been arriving with Heritage impressed by what he is seeing so far. “So far, so good for him,” he said, noting that Lofty Strike’s foals bear a nice resemblance to him, most of them carrying a degree of his own flashiness. “All of ours have that white on them, he is stamping them and like him they are good bodied horses, he is a beautiful horse,” Heritage continued, adding that once the Swettenham team inspected him upon his retirement from the track, he was a horse “we just had to have.” Heritage notes that Lofty Strike’s rather intense line-breeding (he is 3mx3m Danehill and 3fx3f Snippets) makes him an interesting horse to match up with the result being that
“breeders are putting a lot of thought into which mares they send to him.” Bursting onto the scene at two with a couple of brilliant wins in Blue Diamond Stakes-Gr1, 1200m lead-ups, Lofty Strike controversially missed that race but was back in form at three beating the older horses in the Rubiton Stakes-Gr2, 1100m and finishing game seconds in two major contests, the Newmarket Handicap-Gr1, 1200m and the Oakleigh Plate-Gr1, 1100m (in which the globe-trotting Asfoora was third).
One of his star sire Snitzel’s 161 stakes winners, Lofty Strike was bred to show the speed he had, his dam Overreach by Exceed And Excel winning the Golden Slipper StakesGr1, 1200m an she is a 3/4 sister to the Blue Diamond winner Reward For Effort. This prolific Gleam family has been producing topliners for generations, Lofty Strike able to boast amongst his relation the Group 1 gallopers Brawny Spirit, Ivory’s Irish, Hit The Roof, Alynda, Joker’s Wild, Turffontein, Global News, Able Friend and Precious Gem. And Lofty Strike has a nice link to Swettenham history with his third dam being a daughter of the popular chestnut Rory’s Jester to whom Adam Sangster attributes much of the farm’s deserved success and good name.

The recent Victorian Breeding Awards honoured a variety of people making their contributions to the local breeding scene and the much coveted Thoroughbred Breeders Australia Rising Star Award went to Swettenham Stud’s Marcus Heritage.
The 25 year-old is only really just kicking off his career in racing but already has good experience behind him and as the nominations man at Swettenham he is learning more every day and is excited to be part of an industry he is so passionate about.
You don’t have a horse background, how did your interest in racing begin?
I grew up on the Gold Coast and my father Wes raced a few horses. He took me to the Magic Millions Sales which really got me
interested. From that time I always thought that I would like to work in racing.
I was offered work at Lindsay Park so as soon as I finished school I headed down to Victoria. I’d been playing football at the Gold Coast and JD Hayes was coaching at Euroa so I had the opportunity to work for them at the farm and play on the weekends. Lindsay Park was a great place to learn the basics but I was keen to get into the breeding side so Jenny McAlpine introduced me to Adam Sangster and I was able to spend a year working with the stallions at Swettenham Stud.
So your current stint at Swettenham Stud is your second?
Yes, after that season I spent some time at Danny O’Brien’s stables, that was during COVID. I took the chance after that to go back home for a while and got a job with the nominations team at AQUIS. But I loved Victoria and when I moved back Sam Matthews, who had been the nominations manager at Swettenham moved to the role of General Manager and they were looking for someone to slot in.
Your job is a rewarding one?
I love everything about it! The sales, reading pedigree books, going through sales catalogues and discussing mating plans with breeders. And it is a better lifestyle than working in a stable!
But as already mentioned you have done that.
I wanted to do the groundwork, I think that set me up to end up in a managerial job like this. When I talk with breeders and owners, I know more about where they are coming from.
Do you live on the stud?
No, I am in the Melbourne suburbs which I love, it is an easy drive up the freeway to Swettenham and I am close to Flemington and Moonee Valley. I think Nagambie’s proximity to the city helps with staff retention at the Victorian farms; if you want a weekend in the city it is close by.
Usually a parent’s interest leads to a child’s increased interest but it’s the other way round for you?
My Dad has always raced a horse or two but since I’ve been at Swettenham he has become more interested in the breeding side. He enjoyed success with Fundamentalist (a four time Group 1 placegetter) who won the Dequetteville Stakes-Listed, 1100m and is breeding with her; she foaled a Zoustar colt last week. We still have her in partnership with Segenhoe Stud and she is proving to be a good producer. Her Home Affairs two year-old Gridlock is with Michael Freedman and her first three foals Zouper Fund, Peace Centre and Fermoy all have ability.
She is the good one paying for the other slower ones!
She is a special horse for you?
Definitely. The old man was racing here whilst I was at Lindsay Park and I got to strap her when she ran second in the 1000 Guineas-Gr1, 1600m.
Another favourite is Gracious Prospect, I would’ve been ten or 11 when I picked him out at the Magic Millions and convinced Dad to buy a share. He won at three at Flemington and ran in a Magic Millions 2YO Classic. He was our first good horse and he is now with the Riding For The Disabled crew, he is such a gentleman of a horse.
What about the stallions, do you have a favourite amongst them?
Being a part of the deal to get Lofty Strike to Swettenham was a real highlight of my career so far. From following him on the track to inspecting him at the spelling farm; I loved him so much, so it was good to get him home at Swettenham.
He is such a nice horse, very quiet for a stallion. Once he started covering mares, he became a bit more full himself but in the off season he is like a real gentleman. The arrival of his first foals this spring has been exciting.
Do you think there are benefits in not coming from a horse background?
Yes, when you are new to the game you don’t tend to be set in your ways, there is no feeling of doing the same things generations before you have done. There is plenty of learning to do which is a good thing and those who have been in the game longer are always happy to offer advice.
What sort of advice would you give to young people starting off?
There is no set apprenticeship like there is in other industries but you can make your own way. Get to the studs, the stables, take up the opportunities offered and really get stuck into it. You can’t get to where you want to straight away but you can learn a lot along the way.
What do you think the major issue is that racing is presently facing?
The public perception of our industry is a major concern. Having not grown up around racing people I have lots of friends not involved in the sport and they come to me about things they have heard and so much of it is a simple lack of understanding. I think about that a lot at Melbourne Cup time, it is supposed to be a highlight of the year but instead I find myself on edge hoping that nothing bad happens.
I really think we need to open the doors, even to those who are going to the races. It disappoints me that many of those who go to the spring carnival can spend their day not actually seeing a horse! I think that we can present race days better, that all tracks should have their mounting yards out the front. That people know that the horses
are the stars of the show and that they are brilliantly looked after and cared for.
Have you had a particular mentor?
I’d have to single out Sam Matthews. He has been really good for my progression in the industry, he has always backed me. But I have found that wherever you work there are people willing to help, especially if you are enthusiastic and hard working.
You recently did a bit of travelling, do you think that is important for your career?
It was definitely a positive, I met plenty of people and it has been good for my network. And just seeing how things operate in different places, such as at Newmarket where the horses are so relaxed in that environment. The training facilities are amazing but they look to be expensive operations, I can see why they have less smaller players than we do.
We also visited Saratoga, the Belmont Stakes meeting and was able to note the amazing differences between US and UK racing, I think Australia sits somewhere in the middle of it all. US racing is a lot different to ours, the big days are more casual. It gets a bit of a bad rap from the media but my experiences there have always been good. Physically the horses are different; bigger and more upright.
What did winning the rising star award mean to you?
It was a thrill. It has been won by some pretty good industry participants, so it was nice to get a mention alongside them.
It’s funny, they got me up for a few words and I was a bit lost for words. I can happily talk about the stallions all day no worries but found it a bit weird talking about myself!
Where do you see yourself in the future?
I love working for Swettenham and they’ve been given me plenty of opportunity so I am not in a rush to do something else. I love the bloodstock side of things, so it will be something in that area, whether that is as an independent agent or affiliated with a stud or stable, I am not sure.

(I Am Invincible-Tumooh, by Fastnet Rock) Stands at Armidale Stud for $8,800
In a huge coup for Tasmania, million dollar yearling and precocious two year-old Bodyguard joins Armidale Stud for 2025. Bought from the Hunter Valley’s wonderful nursery Emirates Park by James Harron’s Colts Partnership for $1.6 million at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Bodyguard did exactly what you’d want to see from an expensive colt and won the Listed Maribyrnong Trial Stakes on debut. Then in the autumn he won the Gr3 Blue Diamond Prelude (c&g) on resumption, then was fourth behind Switzerland in the Gr2 Todman Stakes. Unplaced in the Gr1 Golden Slipper, he retired after two more starts in Gr2 and Gr company but that creates a great opportunity for Apple Isle breeders to utilise a precocious speedy horse with an outstanding pedigree at a good value fee.
By Champion Sire I Am Invincible, Bodyguard is the first foal of unraced Fastnet Rock mare Tumooh, who is a daughter of Emirates Park’s Gr1 Golden Slipper winner Mossfun who has produced Gr3 winner Dajraan. Mossfun is a halfsister to Gr3 winner Cinch and Singapore’s Champion Sprinter Aramco who won eleven races. This is one of the world’s finest thoroughbred families.
(Trapeze Artist-Chateau Griffo, by Sebring) Standing at Weona Park Stud, for $8,250
Gooree Stud bred King’s Gambit came out Originally advertised to retire to Larneuk Stud in Victoria, Griff will now begin his career in Tasmania at Weona Park Stud.
A winner at two, Griff improved as a spring three year-old to win three stakes races in succession – the Listed Exford Stakes, Gr2 Bill Stutt Stakes, and then the big one, the Gr1 Caulfield Guineas. He hit the front slightly early and wandered around a little, but held on to win by over a length from Veight who went on to win the Gr1 George Ryder Stakes. The Gr1 Caulfield Guineas is a stallion making race with winners like Vain, Grosvenor, Redoute’s Choice, Lonhro, Starspangledbanner, All Too Hard, The Autumn Sun, Ole Kirk, and Super Seth.
The best son of Snitzel’s Champion 3YO Colt Trapeze Artist, Griff headlines his sire’s five stakes winners. Griff is out of Gr3 Blue Diamond Preview (f)-placed Chateau Griffo (Sebring) and there is plenty of precocious speed in the family.
(More Than Ready-Darazani, by Redoute’s Choice)
Standing at Weona Park Stud for $2,200
More Than Value joins Griff as new stallions joining Tasmania’s Weona Park Stud roster and he opens his account at the value price of $2,200 including GST. Unplaced in four starts at three, More Than Value is bred on the successful More Than Ready-Danehill cross which has produced the likes of Gr1 winners Benicio, Prized Icon, Dreamaway, Entisaar, More Than Sacred, Perfectly Ready, and outstanding sire Sebring.
From the family of successful sire Almanzor, More Than Value is out of winning mare Darazani (Redoute’s Choice) whose other six runners are all winners, and she is a full sister to South African Gr2 winner Honorine who was Gr1 placed at two. This is a strong Aga Khan family that includes the likes of Gr1 winner and sire Dariyan, and Gr1 winners Darsi, Darjina, Daryaba, and Daryakana.

Nassipour (Blushing Groom – Alama by Aureole) sired Tie The Knot and Let’s Elope, two of Australia’s best stayers of recent memory. Tie The Knot won 13 Gr1 races which ranks him 4th behind only Winx 24, Black Caviar 14 and Kingston Town 14 in the modern era. Let’s Elope won the Caulfield/Melbourne Cup double, the Australian Cup and Mackinnon S all Gr1 and she was virtually unbeatable on a dry track in her prime.
Nassipour stood in New Zealand at Ra Ora Stud becoming champion Australian sire in 1992. He compiled the excellent record of 348 runners for 26 SW including 7 individual Gr1 winners. He was bred by the Aga Khan being inbred to the Aga’s foundation mare Mumtaz Mahal who is Nassipour’s 6th dam.
But there’s more, you knew there would be. Nassipour is the highest rated stallion on my private PP (Pedigree Points) inbreeding database with a score of 100+ and has the 3rd highest rating I’ve recorded. Let’s Elope also has a PP of 100+ and has the 4th highest rating. Tie The Knot has a PP of 72, still well above average. The exact PP scores under PP100 of particular thoroughbreds are published regularly in Bluebloods. The relatively few scores above PP100 are all recorded as 100+ and will remain a commercial secret.
The great Let’s Elope is the only modern thoroughbred inbred to seven different females within the first seven generations of her pedigree. Please let me know if you find another because it is quite rare to find more than four.
Congratulations to our winner James McKenzie from Kew in Victoria.
With a guest appearance by Triton’s dam Hauani

They say that every man should be the hero of his own story. They say that every horse should be the hero of its own story. They have rarely been more correct than in the case of the magnificent, highly inbred, chestnut colt Heroic (Valais – Chersonese by Cylgad). Sale topping yearling, record priced thoroughbred in training, champion racehorse of his day, seven consecutive times champion Australian sire, never was a horse better named.
The legendary thoroughbred journalist Bill Whittaker summed it up in his fine essay in Great Thoroughbred Sires Of The World which we published in 2006. Bill wrote, “Nothing is black or white in horse racing – and there are many shades of grey in between – yet it is a fair bet that Heroic, bred in 1921, still stands as the greatest all-round Australian bred thoroughbred. The aristocratic Heroic could sprint and stay at the highest level. He was a dashing, high class 2YO and 3YO, a weight-for-age star at four and five and then, a champion sire with a remarkable record of seven successive sire premierships.
Heroic, intensely inbred on the most fashionable lines of his time was a robust chestnut of exquisite quality.”
Heroic won the Breeders’ Plate at Randwick on debut then continued on to win 21 races from 51 starts including the WS Cox Plate, AJC Derby, William Reid S, Nemarket H, Memsie S, Caulfield S etc.
A quick glance at Heroic’s Xray pedigree shows a number of intricate relationships: a parallel pattern with sire and dam bred on similar lines; his grandsire Cicero and his dam Chersonese are closely related being bred on a Cyllene/Illuminata cross; he is inbred 3 x 4 to the full brothers-in-blood Martagon and Ormonde who are both by Bend Or out of full sisters.
This labyrinthine array of inbreeding certainly hit the mark in Heroic’s case, producing a true hero of the equine world.

Cinna was the effortless winner of the 1920 1000 Guineas and her three sons Beau Pere, Mr Standfast and Balloch had a lasting effect on the breeding industries of Australia and New Zealand. Movie mogul Louis B Mayer purchased Beau Pere for stud duties in California where one of his daughters produced champion Swaps, while another was the dam of Flower Bowl.
Flower Bowl became the dam of the successful brothers Graustark and His Majesty, the latter being the sire of Danehill’s dam Razyana, thus ensuring that the bloodlines of Cinna have become generously distributed in the contemporary thoroughbred population.
Have you ever seen Triton? Not if you are under 55 you haven’t. But if you have seen him, have you ever seen a more magnificent thoroughbred specimen? I’m struggling to think of one.
The mighty Triton (Pakistan – Hauani by Davey Jones) ventured to Australian shores in the early 1970s and under the tutelage of master trainer Syd Brown established himself as one of the finest gallopers of his era. He won 13 races from 28 starts including the AJC All Aged S, Epsom H and Stradbroke H. He was crowned champion miler of Australia in an era which included Gunsynd. Both those great milers were members of the incomparable Australasian foal crop of 1967 which included Baguette, Gay Icarus, Silver Sharpe, Battle Heights, Dual Choice, Gunsynd, Triton, Planet Kingdom, Royal Show and I had better stop there before I run out of electricity.
Back to Triton and his dam Hauani whose Xray pedigree appears below. It’s a striking pedigree which shows that Hauani’s sire and dam were very close to being genetically identical. When mated with the double RF Pakistan (refer to the previous issue) Hauani produced Triton.
Simples! If only it were ever thus.
Cinna’s Xray pedigree shows the Formula One RF, as both her sire Polymelus and her dam Baroness La Fleche trace to the same female through different descendants. The relationship is even closer as both Polymelus’ dam Maid Marian and Cinna’s dam Baroness La Fleche are bred on a Hampton/Quiver cross. For good measure Quiver who is the subject mare of the inbreeding is a highly inbred mare herself. Although her five generation tabulated pedigree doesn’t make this obvious, relationships not much further back give her a rating of 100+ on my PP inbreeding database with her exact score (which remains a commercial secret) ranking her the fourth highest rated horse in the database.

Born in 1951, Kenny Russell grew up in the town of Monto where his father, Gordon, was a trainer, having previously been an amateur jockey prior to WWII. Both Kenny’s father and brother Bill had bad falls from racehorses which resulted in serious injuries, and so Kenny was discouraged from being a jockey initially by his mother. He became an apprentice compositor at the Monto Herald, while riding trackwork for his father, and eventually gained his full licence without having done a formal apprenticeship. Russell rode his first winner at the country track Banana on June 24,1972 aboard nonstud book horse Frosty Val, and initially rode in the various carnivals around Townsville, Mackay and Rockhampton, before moving to the Gold Coast in 1979.
Russell quickly clocked up the winners and was the leading jockey at the Gold Coast Turf Club for five consecutive seasons from 1980/81 to 1984/85, and he won the 1987 Queensland Oaks on the Bart Cummings trained Round The World (Sea Anchor-La Mascarade, by Pretendre).
He moved to Rosehill in 1987, but had a bad fall soon after in February 1988, sustaining broken ribs and needing one kidney removed. Back in the saddle only three months later, he ended up being the stable rider for Brian Mayfield-Smith, after Jim Cassidy was given a 12-month suspension and replacement jockey Gavan Duffy argued with the Victoria Chief Steward Pat Lalor over the length of his stirrups and ended up boycotting Melbourne which didn’t suit Mayfield-Smith’s needs.
“When he went to the Gold Coast to ride in the washed out Prime Minister’s Cup meeting, he could have stayed on the Coast for the Saturday fixture and said ‘to hell with trackwork’. However he didn’t. He was back at Rosehill for Friday’s session. That’s part of the man’s make-up. He’s dedicated, that’s why I’m very happy for him to ride my horses,” said Mayfield-Smith in Turf Monthly’s August 1989 issue.
January 1989 began an amazing period for Russell winning the fillies division of the Magic Millions 2YO Classic on Des Burns trained Sea Cabin (Semipalatinsk-Cabin Light, by Boone’s Cabin), a race he won the following year on Bart Cummings trained
Malibu Magic (Prego-Jeckale, by Solitary Hail). In the autumn of 1989, he won the Gr1 Doncaster on Merimbula Bay (Taj Rossi-Lady Splendid, by John Splendid), the Queensland Derby on Hidden Rhythm (Musical Phantasy-Grey Veil, by Hermes) and the Queensland Oaks on Triumphal Queen (Triumphal March-Rustic Ann, by Agricola). The next spring he won the Gr1 Spring Champion Stakes on Sakana (Rassendyll-Cafe Miss, by Estaminet), and in 1991 he added the Gr1 George Ryder on Bureaucracy (Lord Ballina-Tulla Doll, by Oncidium), and the Gr1 Goodwood on Crush (Crested Wave-Sorrana, by Sovereign Edition).
Among his 1804 victories were 100 trebles, and in 1991 he rode the first five winners at Hawkesbury. Russell died in a race fall in 1993 at Rosehill when Tuig (Twig MossBlemill, by Bletchingly) fell. He had won the previous race on the card aboard Whivory (Marscay-Ivory Maid, by Sir Ivor).
In 2016, the fibreglass statue of Kenny Russell located in Monto, created by local artist John Jasperson, was upgraded to a bronze sculpture, and the old fibreglass one was moved to Rockhampton Racecourse. At the unveiling, Kenny’s widow Carol said, “It’s wonderful that the Monto community, the Queensland and Australian governments got funds on board to make it happen. Hopefully future generations can come along and say ‘there is grandad’. It should be long lasting and stand the test of time. He is still loved by the community. It’s the same in Rockhampton, it’s exactly the same, and they have so many strong memories. Speaking of his death, people can still tell you where they were when they heard the news, it blows me away.”
Gillie and Marc Schattner were the sculptors of the bronze.
Who commissioned the piece?
The Kenny Russell bronze sculpture was proudly commissioned by North Burnett Regional Council. The council recognised the immense impact Kenny had on the local community and the racing world, and they wanted to honour his legacy with a permanent and enduring tribute. This commission also came in response to the deterioration of an earlier fibreglass
What date was it completed?
Kenny Russell, jockey, won 1804 races largely in Queensland and Sydney, and is honoured with the Gr3 Ken Russell Memorial Classic run at the Gold Coast each year. It was won in 2025 by Beadman (Snitzel-Iffranesia, by Iffraaj). BB
sculpture of Kenny, which had been deeply cherished by the community. By investing in a lasting bronze piece, the council ensured that Kenny’s memory would be preserved for generations to come.
The entire creative and production process took approximately 12 months from initial approval to final installation. Each stagefrom research and design, to clay sculpting, and ultimately casting in bronze - requires time and care, and it was important to us and to the council that no detail was rushed. The goal was always to honour Kenny with the respect and precision his memory deserves.
What was the process? How did you get the likeness?
Capturing Kenny’s likeness was a heartfelt process. It began with the collection and study of a wide range of reference images showing Kenny throughout different stages of his life and career. Using 3D design tools as a base, we then added clay. Throughout this stage, we worked closely with North Burnett Regional Council and Kenny’s family to ensure we truly captured his character, not just physically but emotionally too. Their insights were invaluable in refining the facial features and expression to reflect who Kenny really was. Once the clay was approved, the piece was cast in bronze - a meticulous process that brings both strength and permanence to the work.
What is your favourite thing about the statue?
Our favourite aspect of the statue is the emotion that radiates from Kenny’s expression - a gentle combination of warmth, pride, and humility. It’s a portrait not only of a champion jockey, but also of a beloved man who inspired those around him with his spirit and kindness. We were deeply moved by the stories shared with us during the creative process. Through this sculpture, we hope people can feel not just admiration for Kenny’s achievements, but also the love and unity that surrounded him. It’s more than a statue - it’s a celebration of a life that touched so many.

As Europe enters its season-defining big autumn contests many of the sire championships have yet to be decided and among those that seem to garner plenty of interest are those relating to freshman sires.
by John Boyce
Among the new sires of 2025 it seems that Starman, Tally-Ho Stud’s €10,000 first-season sire, appears to have an unassailable lead with 23 individual winners to his credit, nine clear of the chasing pack. Whilst it is very unlikely that he will be toppled in the individual winners log, it is entirely possible that one of the big autumn juvenile prizes could fall to one of his rivals and potentially steal the earnings crown away from him. In his favour though is Europe’s Timeform top-rated two year-old filly Venetian Sun, winner of the G1 Prix Morny, will still have other G1 engagements on her horizon despite her G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes defeat.
The G1 July Cup winner Starman is also challenging for the outright two yearold earnings crown and is still probably favourite to end up with more Stakes winners and Group winners than any other freshman sire. He currently has a four to two Group-winner lead over Darley’s Palace Pier. Putting his performance in context, it would be a miracle if he were to run down Mehmas’s 56-winner world record even allowing for the fact he will have plenty of debutants between now and the end of the year. That said, with four Group winners to his name he is already in the top halfdozen sires this century and needs just one more to take outright second place behind the mighty Frankel who sired six juvenile Pattern winners in his first year back in 2016.
Another notable first-season sire performance has come from Darley’s Space Blues, who like Starman, had his first G1 winner – Phoenix Stakes scorer Power Blue – in the bag. Others are now beginning to emerge as we get into the 1400m-plus Stakes races. The aforementioned Palace Pier, Kingman’s joint-top Timeform rated runner alongside Field of Gold, has confounded his critics at last year’s yearling sales by producing three Stakes winners and two Group winners. Currently he owns the highest Stakes-winner-to-runner percentage of any first-season sire at 7.9 per cent. Another emerging from the pack is St Mark’s Basilica whose five Stakes horses from his first 39 runners, including the G2 May Hill scorer Aylin and Listed winner Diamond
Necklace, has him on top by percentage of Stakes horses to runners on 12.8 per cent. On the general two year-old sire table it is a right ding-dong battle for the most Stakes winners. The current leader is Wootton Bassett with seven who heads Starspangledbanner, who has the talented juvenile Precise, winner of the G1 Moyglare
Stud Stakes, plus Gstaad among three Group winners. Ranked by Group winners, Wootton Bassett leads with six ahead of No Nay Never and Starman both with four. Meanwhile, the race for the most individual winners is being won by Mehmas with 30. This is Mehmas’s best-bred crop to date and the second one
to run for him following his outstanding first-season success earned many more wellbred mares in 2021 and 2022.
There can’t have been too many times in the past when European breeders had such a wide choice of really good established stallions. There’s no doubt that the newsmaker in the past two years has been Wootton Bassett. His Coolmore-conceived crops of 2022 and 2023 have really shone and just to provide some context here, the Coolmore stallion has sired 21 Group winners and 25 Stakes winners from those crops alone, way more than, for example, Dubawi (18 Stakes winners and seven Group winners) or Frankel (13 Stakes winners and seven Group winners) two of his main competitors. At this rate, the son of Iffraaj could match or even eclipse the best backto-back crop scores of the great Galileo. Three of his four G1 winners this term are owned by the Coolmore Partners, and they have several other potential G1 winners waiting in the wings including G2 Futurity Stakes winner Constitution River and G2 Debutante Stakes heroine Composing. This year’s Group-winner log has his 21 Group winners well clear of Lope de Vega, Dubawi, Night of Thunder and Frankel, all of whom have ten or more Group winners. The past two seasons have seen Night of Thunder really embellish his record. In that time he’s provided two top-class colts in Ombudsman, currently Timeform toprated horse in Europe with a mark of 130, plus last season’s Timeform 126-rated G1 Irish Champion Stakes winner Economics, who has yet to race this year, plus Guineas winner Desert Flower. The Dubawi sire’s supporting cast has also been fortified through the likes of Group winners More Thunder and Zahrann, two others with the potential to win at the highest level, plus juvenile Stakes winners Gewan and Bow Echo. Moreover, all of the above except Desert Flower are colts which will be welcomed by everyone selling a Night of Thunder colt this autumn. The Darley stallion has previously forged a reputation for doing rather better with his fillies and mares. As it stands his Stakes-winner strike rate for males is 9.8 per cent, compared to the 15.8 for his fillies and mares, but it is a tighter call with his runners from elite mares (14.1 per cent versus 18.6 per cent) which of course make up the majority of his books these days. Ranked by 2025 Stakes winners, Night of Thunder’s tally of 25 is clear of all others, except for his own sire Dubawi on 27.
Sharing fourth place on our Stakes-winner table are Lope de Vega and Frankel. Lope de Vega really is a prolific Stakes-winner machine. Since 2021, the Ballylinch stallion has sired consecutive individual Stakeswinner records, with 15 in 2021, followed by 26 in both 2022 and 2023, then 35 in 2024. His best-ever tally of Group winners came
last year with 16 and he is only one shy of that mark this year. Remarkably, neither of his two northern hemisphere-foaled G1 winners this year have been in Europe with Arapaho taking the Sydney Cup and Carl
Spackler the Maker’s Mark Mile in America. Perhaps G2 Prix Niel winner and G1 Prix du Jockey Club runner-up Cualificar can put that right before season’s end.

Known as a gentle giant, Champion Sire Fastnet Rock changed the lives of those who were associated with him. Born in the spring of 2001, Champion Sire Fastnet Rock died on Monday September 9, 2025, aged 24. “This is such a sad day for everyone who has worked at Coolmore and played a part in Fastnet’s life. Our thoughts today are with all the staff who cared for him over the past 24 years,” said Coolmore’s Tom Magnier in a press release.
“He was born and prepared as a yearling here at Coolmore and raced in the navy silks for Paul Perry and our ownership partners. Residing in the stallion barn for 20 years, he was the kindest and smartest horse you would ever meet and I’m so glad that we got to parade him one last time at the open day two weeks ago, where he looked incredible. Sadly, he suffered an injury over the weekend, which deteriorated rapidly and we did not want him to suffer. Coolmore Australia would not be what it is today without Fastnet Rock and we owe him so much.”
The farm had retired him from stud duties in January 2024, and he continued to live at Coolmore in his retirement.
When Fastnet Rock was born in 2001, Danehill was a multiple Champion Sire, and Danehill’s 2000 covering season would be his third-last in Australia.
His dam, Piccadilly Circus (Royal Academy-Gatana, by Marauding), won
the Gr.3 Blue Diamond Prelude and Listed Debutante Stakes as well as placing in the Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes. Piccadilly Circus was a full sister to Gr.3 Cameron Handicap winner Raheeb, while their dam Gatana won the Listed Red Roses Stakes and was placed in the Gr.1 Newmarket Handicap.
Fastnet Rock was offered by Coolmore at the 2003 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale with a reserve of $300,000, his ownership group had to take him home when no one wanted the horse, who many described as an unattractive type.
“I was lucky to spend a lot of time with Fastnet Rock. He’s a lovely character, a big horse with a bit of a reputation for being not the prettiest horse. He stands out in a crowd for sure. He’s a nice character, a gentle soul, and is very powerful, one of the most powerful I’ve ever sculpted,” said equine sculptor Charlie Langton when interviewed by Bluebloods about the statue of Fastnet Rock at Coolmore. His racing ownership group consisted of S Magnier, M Kirwan, K Barry, D O’Byrne, E Irwin and D Grimley, and they sent him to trainer Paul Perry. In seven starts as a juvenile, Fastnet Rock didn’t win, but he did place in the Gr.3 Skyline Stakes, Gr.2 Pago Pago Stakes and Gr.1 Sires’ Produce Stakes. He ran fourth in the fastest ever Gr.1 Golden Slipper, won by Sydney two-year-old treble winner Dance Hero (Danzero-Gypsy Dancer, by Dance Floor).
Second was future Gr.1 winner and sire Charge Forward (Red Ransom-Sydney’s Dream, by Bletchingly), while Gr.1 Blue Diamond winner Alinghi (Encosta De Lago-Oceanfast, by Monde Bleu) ran third.
At three, in the spring Fastnet Rock won the Gr.3 Up & Coming Stakes and the Gr.3 Roman Consul Stakes, failed to run the mile in the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas, then won two more group sprints in Melbourne. Brought back as an autumn three-year-old, Fastnet Rock won the Gr.1 Lightning when resuming, then next time out, he carried 57 kg as a three-yearold against the older horses in the Gr.1 Oakleigh Plate and won that too. Perry took him to Royal Ascot but Fastnet Rock got travel sick and was retired to stud with six wins and nine placings from 19 starts with earnings over $1.7 million. Despite not winning at two, Fastnet Rock was hugely popular in his first season at stud. He covered 208 mares in 2005 at a fee of $55,000 which would be the cheapest price he’d stand at.
He won his first Champion Sire of Australia title in 2011/12 and by 2013, his service fee had reached $275,000 including GST. Fastnet Rock added his second Champion Sire title in 2014/15. He shuttled to Ireland from 2011 to 2022.
With 44 Gr.1 winners and 197 stakes winners, Fastnet Rock crossed extraordinarily well with Galileo mares, with the nick resulting in eleven Gr.1 winners, led by current Australian Horse Of The Year Via Sistina (Fastnet RockNigh, by Galileo).
His Gr.1 winners included the brilliant mares Via Sistina, Atlantic Jewel, Avantage, Mosheen, First Seal, and Irish Lights. Fastnet Rock has 150 stakes winners, including 16 Gr.1 winners, as a broodmare sire and two Champion Broodmare Sire titles in Australia.
Fastnet Rock’s sons include dual hemisphere Gr.1 winner Merchant Navy, who won at Royal Ascot when Fastnet Rock couldn’t, and successful stallions such as Smart Missile with 27 stakes winners, Foxwedge, Hinchinbrook, Your Song, Rothesay and in New Zealand El Roca. Fastnet Rock’s young sire sons Glenfiddich and Acrobat’s first crop have just turned two in 2025/26. Fastnet Rock’s long term influence on the Thoroughbred is guaranteed.

One of the most difficult challenges facing Thoroughbred breeders is to design matings that potentially could supply a Group 1 winner over a mile or more. A study of pedigrees of Group 1 winners highlights a significant contribution made by the Aga Khan’s homebred stallion Darshaan – a stallion having strong affinity with the strain of Sadler’s Wells. Darshaan (Shirley Heights-Delsy by Abdos) appears in the pedigrees of popular stallions, e.g. High Chaparral, Dundeel, Dalakhani, The Autumn Sun, Castlevecchio, Toronado and Too Darn Hot.
Darshaan, Brown colt, 1981
A handsome dark brown horse, Darshaan was built like a stayer with powerful hindquarters. Trained by Alain de Royer-Dupre to earn 281,573 euro (five wins from eight starts), Darshaan at two won the Criterium de Saint-Cloud (Listed) setting a race record for 2,000m. (Surprisingly, Australia has no 2,000m event for two year-olds at the end of the season).
At three, Darshaan’s victories include the Prix Hocquart Gr2, Prix Greffulhe Gr2 and Prix du Jockey Club Gr1 (French Derby). He stood at Gilltown Stud, County Kildare.
reveals a valuable triple of champion Tourbillon (Ksar-Durban), the foundation sire for Marcel Boussac’s Haras de Fresnay-le-Buffard. Tourbillon won the Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby), Prix Lupin, Prix Greffulhe, Prix Hocquart and Zukunfts-Rennen. He sired champion Djebel, the grandsire of Lalun, dam of Never Bend.
Tourbillon is the best son of Ksar, European Horse of the Year, twice winner of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Marcel Boussac patronised Ksar because of the stallion’s powerful pedigree. Ksar carried the genes of three “daughters” of famous mare Pocahontas (by Glencoe) dam of the outstanding sires Stockwell, Rataplan and King Tom. Two daughters of Pocahontas came via Wellingtonia while a third daughter Indiana came via the branch of Keapsake.
Ksar was inbred 3 x 2 to Omnium II (Upas-Bluette by Wellingtonia) an undefeated champion, and whenever descendants of Tourbillon met up with Stockwell, Rataplan or King Tom (broodmare sire of St. Simon) this mix enhanced energy and significantly upgraded performance.
Wellingtonia features in the pedigree of Teddy, the duplicated ancestor in Darshaan’s dam Delsy. He comes via Teddy’s unbeaten father Ajax as follows:
Flying Fox
Orme ex Angelica (sister to Sr. Simon) Vampire
Ajax
Amie
Clamart
Alice by WELLINGTONIA
We know Northern Dancer’s best Group winners carried Teddy by Ajax, and we know Nearctic’s dam carried a source of Tracery, supplying another source of Wellingtonia.

Darshaan’s pedigree reveals a valuable triple of champion Tourbillon (Ksar-Durban), the foundation sire for Marcel Boussac’s Haras de Fresnay-le-Buffard.
Thus, when we look at Darshaan’s pedigree (with heavy duplication of St. Simon and Pocahontas) we might begin to understand why he became a great broodmare sire. Another important maternal influence to aid Darshaan’s success at stud is special impact from famous mare Quiver, a member of the Brown Bess family.
Darshaan is linebred 5 x 4 via two daughters of Umidwar (BlandfordUganda) winner of the Jockey Club Stakes, Champion Stakes and runnerup in the Eclipse Stakes. Umidwar’s dam Uganda was champion 3YO Filly in France, winner of the Prix de Diane (French Oaks), Prix Royal Oak and Prix La Rochette. Darshaan inherited many characteristics from Umidwar.
Uganda was bred by Mr Edouard Kann who admired the wonderful family of Quiver. Not only did Quiver produce champion La Fleche (English Oaks, One Thousand Guineas, St. Leger, Champion Stakes and Ascot Gold Cup), but she also produced Memoir (English Oaks and St Leger) and Maid Marian, dam of Polymelus.
Quiver is the third dam of Cinna (Polymelus-Baroness La Fleche), winner of the English 1,000 Guineas, Coronation Stakes and runner-up in the English Oaks. She produced Beau Pere and Balloch. Cinna is the seventh dam of champion Sunday Silence whose strain should mix successfully with Darshaan’s descendants. Cinna’s inbred pedigree is rather unique:

Standing in Victoria this year at Rosemont Stud is multiple Group 1 winner Henry Longfellow by Dubawi from Minding by Galileo from Lillie Langtry by Danehill Dancer from Hoity Toity by Darshaan.
He won the National Stakes Gr1and Futurity Stakes Gr1 at the Curragh, was runner-up in the St. James’s Palace Stakes Gr1 and finished third in the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp Gr1. Minding was Horse of the Year and European Champion 2YO & 3YO Filly. Lillie Langtry was also dam of Tuesday, English Oaks Gr1 winning sister to Minding.
Linebreeding to Darshaan and his dam Delsy is already successful.
Stallions standing this year in Australia who possess a source of Darshaan are: TORONADO, DUNDEEL THE AUTUMN SUN, TOO DARN HOT, PINATUBO, HENRY LONGFELLOW, DALASAN, CASTLEVECCHIO, CELESTIAL LEGEND and PELTZER.
The Eclipse Champion Turf Male of 2008 was Darshaan’s grandson Conduit (Dalakhani-Well Head by Sadler’s Wells) winner of the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes Gr1, Breeders’ Cup Turf Gr1 twice, English St Leger Gr1and Gordon Stakes Gr3. He stands at Big Red Farm in Japan and is an example of mixing Darshaan (sire of Dalakhani) with Sadler’s Wells. Conduit earned US $5,815,813.
Champion racehorse and sire High Chaparral (Sadler’s Wells-Kasora by Darshaan) is another example of the mix. He also won the Breeders’ Cup Turf Gr1 twice as well as the English Derby Gr1, Irish Derby Gr1 and Irish Champion Stakes Gr1. High Chaparral earned US $5,331,231 and sired New Zealand’s Horse of the Year Dundeel (adding Nureyev to the pedigree pattern). Dundeel possessed the ability to sensationally quicken with a devastating sprint at the end of his stakes victories.
Kizil Kourgan
Other well performed sons of High Chaparral include So You Think, Ace High, Alpine Eagle, Contributor, Rekindling, Wrote and Redwood. So You Think was Australian 3YO Champion who earned $7,661,154 and won two W. S. Cox Plates Gr1.
THE AUTUMN SUN is one of the best sons of Redoute’s Choice and carries a source of Darshaan via third dam Anaza, an Irish mare, winner of the 1700m Listed Prix Herbager. Anaza is dam of nine winners including Astarabad,
winner of the Prix Ganay G1 and Prix d’Harcourt Gr3.
The Autumn Suns’ dam Azmiyna is linebred to Hail To Reason via sons Bold Reason and Roberto.
Third dam Anaza produced Asmara (by Lear Fan), winner of the Trigo Stakes (Listed) over 10 furlongs. Anaza is the dam of Azamour (by Night Shift) 6 wins including the St. James’s Palace Stakes Gr1, Prince of Wales’s Stakes Gr1, Irish Champion Stakes Gr1 and voted Champion Older Horse of Europe.
The Autumn Sun won eight of nine starts to earn $3.4 million. His major victories include the Caulfield Stakes Gr1, T. J. Smith Stakes Gr1, Golden Rose Stakes Gr1, Randwick Guineas Gr1 and Rosehill Guineas Gr1.
If daughters of Dundeel are covered by The Autumn Sun this mix would duplicate Darshaan and help increase classic speed.
Among the stakes winning progeny of The Autumn Sun are several outstanding fillies. He is the sire of Autumn
Voted
Angel (ATC Australian Oaks Gr1), Coco Sun (South Australian Derby, 3rd Australasian Oaks Gr1), Vibrant Sun (Australasian Oaks Gr1), Autumn Glow (Tea Rose Stakes Gr2), Autumn Ballet and Private Legacy. One might think The Autumn Sun has a bias in favour of fillies that win black type, but it could be mere coincidence. Time will tell if there exists a sex bias.
It’s not often a filly wins a Derby, so we look forward to the exploits of Coco Sun during the Spring carnival.
The female line of Darshaan continues to produce stakes winners. Prix Vermeille Gr1 winner Darara, a half-sister to Darshaan, produced River Dancer (HKJC Queen Elizabeth II Cup Gr1, Prix La Force Gr3), Rewilding (Prince of Wales’s Stakes Gr1), Darazari (Ranvet Stakes Gr1), Evita (dam of Trethias) and Da Re Mi (Champion Older Mare in GB, 6 wins including the Yorkshire Oaks Gr1, Curragh Pretty Polly Stakes Gr1, Dubai Sheema Classic Gr1, Aphrodite Stakes Listed, 2nd Yorkshire Oaks Gr1, 3rd Breeders’ Cup Turf Gr1).
Da Re Mi (by Singspiel) produced three stakes winners including Too Darn Hot, Champion 2YO & 3YO of Europe, 6 wins, Dewhurst Stakes Gr1, Sussex Stakes Gr1, Prix Jean Prat Gr1, Doncaster Champagne Stakes Gr2, 2nd Irish 2,000 Guineas Gr1, Dante Stakes Gr2), Lah Ti Dah (York Middleton Stakes Gr3) and So
Mi Dar (York Musidora Stakes Gr3).
Marcel Boussac, leading owner/breeder in France, bred outstanding classic winners and developed speed families with stamina. In the twilight of his years, Boussac bred Delsy (1972) winner from six starts and stakes-placed third Prix Pomona Gr3. Delsy ‘s fourth dam is famous mare Tourzima, inbred to Tourbillon.
Kelty, dam of Delsy, was linebred 4 x 4 to Pharos. Boussac decided to match Kelty with Abdos a son of the great stayer Arbar (Djebel-Astronomie) as this match duplicated two sons of Astronomie, Marsyas and Arbar. It also reinforced Tourbillon and Teddy. When Boussac’s textile empire went bankrupt, the Aga Khan moved quickly to purchase the Frenchman’s breeding stock “en masse” and Delsy was part of the package. Wanting to maintain stamina, the Aga Khan sent Delsy to English Derby winner Shirley Heights, knowing that this classic winner carried a strain of Tourbillon through Lalun, dam of Never Bend, the sire of Mill Reef.
Lord and Lady Lloyd-Weber established Watership Down Stud and as a foundation mare acquired Dar Re Mi (by Singspiel). This filly inherited tremendous stamina. It’s likely Too Darn Hot will sire some progeny that will succeed at a mile and a half, the Derby distance.
From his first crop in England, Too Darn Hot sired the classic winner Fallen Angel, 5 wins 766,894 Pounds 1st Moyglare Stud Stakes Gr1, Sweet Solera Stakes Gr3, Irish 1,000 Guineas Gr1, Prix Rothschild Gr1, 2nd Matron Stakes Gr1. This grey filly is linebred to Delsy 4 x 5 and linebred to Mr Prospector, Shirley Heights and Northern Dancer.
From his first crop In Australia, Too Darn Hot sired Broadsiding, Champion 2YO and 3YO (from a daughter of Street Cry), Rivellino winner of the Skyline Stakes Gr2 (damsire So You Think) linebred 4 x 6 to Delsy, Too Dar Discreet winner of the Edward Manifold Stakes Gr2 and Ethereal Stakes Gr3 (out of a daughter of Shamardal) and the highly regarded Too Darn Lizzie winner of the Thousand Guineas Prelude Gr2 and Kewney Stakes Gr2 (damsire Magnus). Other black type performers include Shanwah winner of the Alister Clarke Stakes Gr2, Autumn Classic Gr2 (damsire Iffraaj), Arabian Summer winner of the Peter Le Grand Stakes Gr3 (damsire Street Cry), Tropicus winner of the Heath Stakes Gr3 and Zeditave Stakes Gr3 (damsire Exceed and Excel) and Simmering winner of the Prix du Calvados Gr2, Princess Margaret Stakes Gr3).
In the pedigree of Fallen Angel we find the European Horse of the Year, Champion, grey horse Dalakhani by Darshaan. From nine starts Dalakhani won eight and was runner-up on the other occasion in the Irish Derby Gr1. Dalakhani won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Gr1, Prix du Jockey Club Gr1, Prix Lupin Gr1, Criterium International Gr1, Prix Greffulhe Gr2, Prix Niel Gr2 and Prix de Chenes Gr3. He stood at Gilltown Stud for much of his life but died at Haras Bonneval in France. He briefly shuttled to Cornerstone Stud, therefore some of his daughters might suit Broadsiding (by Too Dar Hot).
The grey mare Albanova who traces in direct female line to champion Mumtaz Mahal, is by Alzao from Darshaan’s daughter Alouette. Albanova is a foundation mare for Miss Kirsten Rausing’s Lanwades stud. Voted German Horse of the Year, Albanova was devastating when winning the Preis von Europa Gr1 against the boys.
Miss Rausing bred and owns European champion mare Alpinista (FrankelAlwilda by Hernando-Albanova), winner of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Gr1 in 2022. A German champion Alpinista won 10 of 15 starts to earn 3.3 million pounds.
Her victories also include the Yorkshire Oaks Gr1, Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud Gr1, Preis von Europa Gr1, Grosser Preis von Berlin Gr1, Grosser Preis von Baden Gr1 and Lancashire Oaks Gr2.
Alruccaba was purchased for 19,000 guineas jointly by Miss Kirsten Rausing and Mrs Sonia Rogers who were attracted by the filly’s pedigree, being linebred to Mumtaz Mahal. She had been culled from the Aga Khan’s stud.
Darshaan’s son Mark of Esteem proved to be a disappointment at stud. Racing in the blue silks of Godolphin, he won the English 2,000 Guineas Gr1, Queen Elizabeth II Stakes Gr1 and Celebration Mile Stakes Gr2. He stood at Dalham Hall Stud. In 2006 when 13 years old he lost a testicle during colic surgery and thereafter suffered from low fertility. He shuttled to Brazil for a season but was pensioned in 2007. MARK OF ESTEEM was linebred to unbeaten Nearco four times.
The thing about High Chaparral is his fighting spirit. I will always remember the second time he won the Breeders’ Cup Turf Gr1 in a dead-heat. The photo finish was one of the longest I can recall. It was interesting to watch the faces of trainers Aidan O’Brien and Dick Mandella (and for that matter John Magnier) with tension building prior to the result. High Chaparral dug deep that day and his will to win has been transmitted to many of his descendants. SADLER’S
He sired two classic winners, Ameerat won the English 1,000 Guineas Gr1 and Sir Percy won the English Derby. Sir Percy won the Dewhurst Stakes Gr1 and was voted Champion 2YO of England. At two, he was impressive when winning the Goodwood Vintage Stakes Gr2, a major test for Epsom Derby protagonists. High Chaparral is proving to be a remarkable broodmare sire with imposing stats. Apart from distant reinforcement of Nearco, Native Dancer and Djebel, he is relatively free of duplicated ancestors and suits many Northern Dancer strains, especially Danzig, Danehill, Nureyev and Fairy King.

One trait that we’ve often seen with great breeders is the ability to produce a top-class horse from relatively modest material, often coming up with the best runner by a given stallion.
It was a trait very apparent with Federico Tesio, and other more recent examples that come to mind are Dayton Ltd under Daniel and Alec Wildenstein, and the organization of the late Aga Khan. A current exhibit that can be called up in the case of the Aga Khan Studs is Calandagan, currently assessed as the world’s leading racehorse in the “Long” division. A winner by ten lengths on the second of two starts at two, Calandagan was runner-up in a listed race at two, but then captured in succession, the Prix Noailles (G3), the Prix Hocquart (G3) and the King Edward VII Stakes (G2) at Royal Ascot. He would have been a formidable contender for the Prix du Jockey-Club-French Derby (G1), but as a gelding he was ineligible. Dropping down in distance for the Juddmonte International Stakes (G1), he ran that year’s co-World Highweight
City of Light to a length. He ended the year another second, beaten a ½ length by Anmaat, after being caught close home, in the Champion Stakes (G1). This year, Calandagan opened the campaign with a second to the Japanese runner, Danon Decile, in the Dubai Sheema Classic (G1), then was outstayed late by Jan Brueghel in the Coronation Cup (G1). At this point some questions were being asked about Calandagan’s enthusiasm, but they were brushed aside by his performance in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (G1), where he quickened away to score by 3½ lengths from Aventure, runner-up in last year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1), and subsequently an impressive winner of this year’s Prix Vermeille (G1). He confirmed his reputation as an outstanding 2400m runner on his next – and most recent – outing, defeating the top-class filly Kalpana, the then favourite for the
Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1) for the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1). Calandagan is by Gleneagles, a very useful stallion to be sure, but not one who ranks as a member of Europe’s sire elite, defined by such as Frankel, Dubawi, Wootton Bassett, Sea The Stars and Siyouni. In fact there were around 40 European stallions standing at a higher fee than the 20,000 Euros for which Gleneagles stood in 2025. That said, Gleneagles was very close the top of the tree as a runner. At two he was Champion Two-Year-Old in Ireland with four wins in six starts, including the National Stakes (G1), Futurity Stakes (G2) and Tyros Stakes (G3). At three, he was even better, earning a rating as European Champion Three-Year-Old Miler after capturing the 2,000 Guineas (G1), Irish 2,000 Guineas (G1) and St. James’s Palace Stakes (G1).
As well as an outstanding race-record, Gleneagles also owns a stellar pedigree. He’s by Galileo out of the group winning You’resothrilling, a sister to Giant’s Causeway, a formula that makes him a brother to European Champion TwoYear-Old Filly Happily, Prix de DianeFrench Oaks (G1) heroine Joan of Arc, and four other stakes winners.
Gleneagles has been represented by six crops of three-year-olds and up and they’ve supplied 43 stakes winners, 28 group or graded. In addition to Calandagan, his group/grade one winners are the July Cup (G1) victor Mill Stream (who has You’resothrilling/Giant’s Causeway 2x4); Loving Dream, successful in the Prix de Royallieu (G1); Highland Chief, who captured the Man ‘o War Stakes (G1); and the Deutsches Derby (G1) scorer Palladium. Calandagan is out of Calayanna, a daughter of Sinndar (by Grand Lodge, by Chief’s Crown) who won at up to 2800m and earned blacktype with a second in the Prix Minerve (G3). She is also dam of Calamandra, daughter New Bay who is listed placed in France in 2025. Calayana is the only black-type horse to appear under the pedigree of the second dam, Clariyn (by Acclamation). A winner over 2000m, Clariyn, is halfsister to Canndal (by Medicean), who never won a black-type event, but did take second in the Belmont Derby (G1).
The third dam of Calandagan, Clodovina, entered the Aga Khan studs following the purchase of the entire bloodstock portfolio of the estate of Jean-Luc Lagardere, who stood Linamix. A black-type placed performer by Rock of Gibraltar, she was three-quarters sister to the Poule d’Essai des Poulains-French 2,000 Guineas (G1) victor, Clodovil (by Rock of Gibraltar’s sire, Danehill), both out of Clodora, a Linamix mare who captured the Prix de l’Opera (G2). Clodovina was also half-sister to the group winning and group one placed Colombian, and to the dam of the South African Derby winner, Aragosta.
The family goes back to the mare Seashell. A member of the famed Agnes family, she was by Orme, a son of Ormonde (by Bend Or out of Lily Agnes by Macaroni out of a daughter of Miss Agnes), and her granddam, Rydal, was by Bend Or out of Windermere by Macaroni out of Miss Agnes. Seashell was the ancestress of the great mare Pearl Cap (Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Prix de Diane, Poule d’Eassai des Pouliches, Prix Vemeille and Prix Jacques Le Marois) as well as Bipearl (Poule d’Essai des Pouliches), Pearl Diver (Epsom Derby), Pearlweed (Prix du Jockey-Club), Tourment (Poule d’Essai des Poulains, Prix Royal-Oak, Grand Prix de Paris), Sleeping Partner (Epsom Oaks), Molvedo (Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe) and Vaguely Noble (Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe) as well as Oncidium, twice Champion Sire in Australia.
Despite going back to such a luminary, when we look at Calandagan’s immediate pedigree, we can see that, in summary, he’s the best runner by a good, but far from exceptional sire, and is the first stakes winner of any description to be found in the first three dams.
What he does have is an intriguing pedigree pattern that focuses a deep background through a few close relatives. We’ll start with Gleneagles who is by a son of Sadler’s Wells, out of a mare by Storm Cat (a Northern Dancer/Secretariat cross). From there we’ll go to Sinndar, who is a Northern Dancer/Sir Gaylord (half-brother to Secretariat) cross, and his grandsire, Chief’s Crown, a Northern Dancer/Secretariat cross, and out of a mare by Mill Reef, who is a son of Never Bend, a half-brother to Bold Reason the broodmare sire of Sadler’s Wells. That means Sinndar (Northern Dancer/Never Bend) is both a similar cross to Sadler’s Wells, and something of a reverse to Gleneagles – both Northern Dancer/Secretariat. Incidentally the two sets of half-siblings Secretariat and Sir Gaylord, and Never Bend and Bold Reason have further similarities as Secretariat and Never Bend are Nasrullah line, and Sir Gaylord
and Bold Reason are by Royal Charger (three-quarters brother to Nasrullah) line. Calandagan’s second dam is by Acclamation, a son of Royal Applause, who is a Northern Dancer line stallion out of a mare by a son of Bold Bidder (by Bold Ruler), so he’s a similar cross to both Storm Cat (broodmare sire of Gleneagles) and Chief’s Crown. There are already 19 stakes winners with Storm Cat and Royal Applause combined, including in addition to Calandagan, other group/ grade one winners Blue Point, Althiqua, Khaadem, Mysterious Night and Argos, the first four all having their Storm Cat through Giant’s Causeway, who we’ve noted as a brother to the dam of Gleneagles. Behind this there are three crosses of Nasrullah/Princequillo through Secretariat (twice) and Mill Reef, along with several supplemental strains – Rose Bower (granddam of Galileo’s broodmare sire, Miswaki) who is a Princequillo/Nasrullah cross; Chieftain (sire of the fourth dam of Gleneagles) who is by Bold Ruler (Nasrullah) with a second dam by Princequillo; Charlottesville (broodmare sire of Top Ville, the sire of the second dam of Sinndar), who is by Prince Chevalier (by Prince Rose sire of Princequillo, and bred on the same cross as Princequillo) out of a mare by Nearco (sire of Nasrullah); Bold Bidder (grandsire of the dam of Royal Applause) and by Bold Ruler (Nasrullah) with a second dam by Princequillo; and Push a Button (granddam of Rock of Gibraltar, and by a son of Bold Ruler out of mare by a son of Princequillo –in fact Rock of Gibraltar’s dam is Northern Dancer over Nasrullah/Princequillo, like Storm Cat, Chief’s Crown and Sindaar).
It would appear that this unusual accumulation of proven crosses has created a horse that is not only the best by the sire, but also likely the best from the last eight generations of the female line. BB
Introducing new improved APEX TABLES for both countries, exclusive to BLUEBLOODS. BLUEBLOODS is now able to present APEX tables, in an improved format showing separate tables for Australia and New Zealand. APEX tables for Australia show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in Australia. APEX tables for NZ show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in NZ. There are now three separate tables for each country: the default ratings are for horses with at least 150 year starters in the previous seven rolling seasons (runners count as year starters in each season they compete and earn prizemoney); then there are also tables for horses with 100 year starters and 30 year starters which give an insight into the progress of first and second season sires or stallions which serve smaller books. Finally, to recap, APEX A runners are those which earn an amount in the top 2% each season, B runners the next 2%, C runners the next 4%.
Therefore ABC runners are those earning an amount that falls in the top 8% each season (2+2+4).
For further explanation refer to previous issues. Special thanks to Arion Pedigrees NZ who have developed these tables for Bluebloods and to respected analyst Bill Oppenheim whose brainchild they are. Andrew Reichard, Publisher.

Fifth Season Sires - Season 2025-2026
Introducing new improved APEX TABLES for both countries, exclusive to BLUEBLOODS.
BLUEBLOODS is now able to present APEX tables, in an improved format showing separate tables for Australia and New Zealand. APEX tables for Australia show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in Australia. APEX tables for NZ show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in NZ. There are now three separate tables for each country: the default ratings are for horses with at least 150 year starters in the previous seven rolling seasons (runners count as year starters in each season they compete and earn prizemoney); then there are also tables for horses with 100 year starters and 30 year starters which give an insight into the progress of first and second season sires or stallions which serve smaller books. Finally, to recap, APEX A runners are those which earn an amount in the top 2% each season, B runners the next 2%, C runners the next 4%.
Therefore ABC runners are those earning an amount that falls in the top 8% each season (2+2+4).
For further explanation refer to previous issues. Special thanks to Arion Pedigrees NZ who have developed these tables for Bluebloods and to respected analyst Bill Oppenheim whose brainchild they are. Andrew Reichard, Publisher.
This listing of the leading New Zealand sires by earnings includes stakes performance (shown in brackets), and percentages are given for winners to runners, stakeswinners to runners and total stakeshorses (winners and placegetters) to runners. The top earner for each horse is shown with its particular individual earnings. Information in this section is for the season from 1/8/24 to 31/7/25 and includes prizemoney paid from bonus schemes.

Leading 2YO Sires of USA
by Andrew Reichard
Sepals (Calyx – What’s New by Casino Prince) scored an authoritative first up win at Caulfield in late August taking his record to four wins from six starts including the Gr3 CS Hayes S and a Gr1 Australian Guineas 4th in the autumn prior to a spell. This beautifully named gelding (the OED defines calyx as: whorl of leaves called sepals forming the outer case of a bud) has a fascinating pedigree being inbred 4f x 4m to the mare Hope ( Dancing Brave – Bahamian by by Mill Reef) via her successful Juddmonte bred stallion descendants, grandson Kingman and son Oasis Dream. Those two stallions are actually even more closely related, Oasis Dream being by Green Desert ex Hope, while Kingman is by a son of Green Desert out of a daughter of Hope. A notable line of Mr Prospector forms a reverse parallel pattern with them to complete the picture.
As is frequently the case, Sepals, the horse with the Rasmussen Factor (RF) has emerged as clearly the best runner to emerge from the two small crops his sire produced from disappointingly modest support at Coolmore when shuttling in 2021 and 2022.
The Xray pedigree of Sepals shows at a glance the uncanny similarities between both halves of Sepal’s pedigree, particularly the Green Desert/Hope connection.
The pedigree of Hope herself is slightly more complicated with the most obvious strength being that she is by Dancing Brave, one of the greatest Arc winners ever out of a mare by Mill Reef who is also a contender for that title as well as having become a key stallion in the development of the modern thoroughbred. Hope is bred on a broad Nearco/ Nearco cross with both her sire and dam being inbred to the brothers Pharos and Fairway.
I’m constantly disappointed by some of the dreadfully and inappropriately named horses that are seen in action each week. No names, no pack drill, but how owners come up with them and how some are even allowed, befuddles me. Many things befuddle me as I mature, but this is one of the worsest. If there isn’t such a word there should be.
So it is particularly pleasing to find a horse with an attractive, mellifluous, cleverly thought out name, living up to the dream on the track. And bonus points to whomever designed the mating.
37 years on and Bluebloods still offers unbelievable value for Australian Thoroughbred Breeders. You still get STALLIONS 2025 for free when you subscribe for one year. STALLIONS is the industry bible and is worth the value of a subscription by itself. Then include 6 issues of Bluebloods and one MMGC souvenir edition. Value not to be missed.
