Background Information
PICTURE
  • 1996 foal and cost $525,000 as a yearling. Trained by AP. O'Brien winning two races at 6f, both at 2yo. At that age won only starts in 6f maiden at Goodwood on Aug 1st and Group 1 Prix Morny on Aug 23rd. Ran four times at 3yo beginning with an unplaced run in the 2,000 Guineas (as 7/2 fav) and a third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. Well beaten in two later outings over 8f & 7f and blinkered on his last run.
  • To stud in 2000 and a solid start with his first three crops with French 1,000 Guineas winner Torrestrella as the highlight supported by Group 3 winners. A slightly above average record with his British raced 2yos and gets winners at 5f upwards from May onwards and a consistent record at 5f to 6f. His best winners have been Gracefully (7f Group 3) & Blue Tomato in 2003, Alpaga Le Jomage in 2004 and Clare Hills (5f Listed) & KillyBegs in 2005. 
  • As a physical type he was bigger and lengthier than a typical sprinter and many of his better and competitive 2yos fit this type. Because he gets early to mid season runners they often compete well on debut because of the physical development and he has an above average FTO strike rate.
  • 29 yearlings sold in 2005 for an average around 15,000gns. Another good season in 2006 with 6 winners from 12 runners and a strike rate close to 15%. Gets winner from early season at 5f to 8f later at maiden race level at best.
