Pierata Brochure

PIERATA Fee: $44,000 inc GST | 16.1 ½ hh | 2014 Pierro x November Flight, by Flying Spur

Pierata is a magnificent son of the outstanding sire Pierro. A city winner and Group performed as a juvenile, he was Group 1-placed over a mile as a three-year-old before proving to be most brilliant as a sprinter, taking out the Group 1 All Aged Stakes. In a sensational demonstration of his incredible speed, Pierata won the Group 3 Sydney Stakes in a quicker time than Redzel’s $10m The Everest victory over the same distance, the next race on the card that day.

After soundly defeating Trekking in the $1 million Redzel Stakes, Pierata narrowly missed out on back-to-back All Aged Stakes when second in a stirring battle to Tofane in 2020. He mixed it with some of the world’s highest-rated sprinters of recent years, including Redzel, Classique Legend, Santa Ana Lane, Trapeze Artist, Bivouac, Brutal and Exceedance. Pierata’s first yearlings made an excellent impression on buyers this year, starting with a bang at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale where they averaged $247,500 - 5.6 times his initial service fee - and sold for up to $800,000.

“To acquire Pierata at this point in his career, just months away from his first runners, is incredibly exciting for both Yulong and the Victorian industry. We’ve seen how wellreceived his first yearlings were at the sales this year, and the early reports from trainers are full of promise.”
