Ziggy's Triton
Race entries
Purchased at the Goffs UK Breeze Up sale, this colt is by PROFITABLE.
A slightly under the radar stallion is Profitable, which may explain why we secured this colt for a very very reasonable, we thought, £58,000, at the recent Goffs Uk Breeze Up Sale in late April, having posted the 23rd fastest time of the day’s 200+ breezers. However, we thought that, visually, his breeze was second to none, showing great action, stride, head carriage and determination - everything we look for, so we were very keen to secure him, especially when we went to see him, post breeze.

Watch his breeze, here:
He has quite a short neck and wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea in the looks department therefore, but there are no prize monies awarded for looks, merely for how quickly horses can gallop from A to B, and he’s proven pretty darn good at that, it would seem.
Shortly after we purchased him, we were approached by the renowned master of Ballyhane Stud Ireland, Joe Foley, only for him to say, “I thought your Profitable colt was ‘the breeze of the day’ “ and furthermore, ace bloodstock agent Federico Barberini came over later to say, “there have been two bargains here today, and you have purchased them both - your Profitable colt being one of them”. Two shrewd judges as well as ourselves, all, firmly on board with this super, value for money, buy.
He heads to David O’Meara who is fabulous at eking out every ounce of any horse’s ability and we’d hope to see him debut sometime in May, just this side of Royal Ascot, timescale wise.
The World’s this fellow’s oyster!
