- A pedigree abounding in Black Type winners
- Sold at the 2016 INGLIS Easter Yearling Sale for $500,000
- Trained by Robbie Laing
- Debut start was the tricky straight at Flemington over 1000m where he was beaten into 5th place by less than 2 lengths
Laing later said “He ran a couple of seconds in trials then won a trial and his run the other day was really good. The only time he's been a dill was when he ran at Flemington - he didn't know where he was and just lost his composure” (Racing.com) so not a bad effort in the end
- For his second start, he was beaten less than 4 lengths in the MVRC Mitchell McKenzie Stakes at listed level
- Couple of niggling issues curtailed his later 3-year-old racing career
- Broke through in the spring of 2018 with back-to-back wins at Cranbourne and Pakenham over 1200m
- Never reached his full potential due to throat surgery but everyone thought he had tons of ability
- As a stallion he has the perfect pedigree coming up a “Perfect Match” on a huge number of mares on G1Goldmine
- His dam sire, the legendary RAINBOW QUEST was rated 130 as a 2yo, 131 as a 3yo and 134 as a 4yo
A great pedigree, matching with many mares to bring out the best in your mare’s progeny
