Tagaloa Brochure

TAGALOA Fee: $27,500 inc GST | 16.1hh | 2017 Lord Kanaloa (JPN) x Vasilissa (JPN), by Heart’s Cry (JPN)

“As a breeder, there are a few boxes that need to be ticked when selecting a stallion; an excellent racetrack performance and the ability to train on being only a couple.

Tagaloa is an example of this and it’s very promising to see his quality coming through in his first crop foals. Using Tagaloa as an outcross sire for Australian mares is clearly working and he is proving to be a valuable investment to our bloodlines here in Victoria.”

A two-year-old Group 1 winner by Japanese Horse of the Year, outstanding sprinter and exceptional sire Lord Kanaloa, Tagaloa was a brilliant and precocious racehorse. In winning the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m), he recorded the fastest time by a two-year-old at Caulfield since 2011 and as a three-year-old he scored the Group 3 CS Hayes Stakes (1400m) to solidify a superb racing career.

After proving popular with breeders in his first season at stud in 2021, his outstanding first foals led him to cover an even bigger book of mares in 2022. Physically exceptional, Tagaloa boasts speed and precocity, and offers a top-class outcross to the Australian breeder.

FIRST CROP FOALS 2022 “We have had seven Tagaloa weanlings come through the farm this season and we have been very impressed. They are correct, strong with great movement and good bone. Overall I’m very happy with the progeny Tagaloa is producing and therefore I bred another six mares to him this year.”
