Purchased at the Tattersalls Book 2 Sale, he is by the Coolmore Stallion STARSPANGLEDBANNER: https://coolmore.com/farms/ireland/stallions/starspangledbanner It’s always a fascinating dilemma, when purchasing a yearling, or any unraced horse, for that matter, especially on a middle market budget like ours, whether to prioritise pedigree over the individual, or individual over pedigree. Fortunately, in the case of this stunning looking son of STARSPANGLEDBANNER, you can have both!

We’ve had plenty of success over the years with progeny of the great Starspangledbanner, most notably, The Rosstafarian, who was placed at black type level for us and also ran in the Group 2 Craven Stakes and Irish 2000 Guineas in 2021. He was sold, at the end of his GB career, to Hong Kong, for a very hefty, arguably, life changing sum for his lucky owners.

One would struggle to find a more stunning, imposing, or better moving model in this gelding and one has the surety that the mare has already produced the Group/Grade 2 performing fillies Goodthingstaketime and Miss Gathering.

Here's Michael with him in the yard:

Racing update (March): Strapping sort who should be in for a good season ahead. We’ll probably sell him at the end of the year at the horses in training sale. 10f-12f look ideal, as is top of the ground and AW, could be well handicapped. TIMEFORM RATED:82.
