Duncan Ramage and trainer John Thompson combined on day two of Inglis Classic to purchase a son of G1 winning two and three-year-old Prized Icon, from the multiple Stakes performed General Nediym mare, Agueda (Lot 364).
Bought for $145,000 from Newgate Farm, this colt is from the first crop of yearlings by Prized Icon. An exceptional racehorse through the ages, Prized Icon won the G1 ATC Champagne Stakes as a two-year-old before returning at three to win the G1 VRC Derby.
He also collected G1 placings in the G1 VRC Australian Guineas, G1 Spring Champion Stakes, G1 Chipping Norton Stakes, G1 Ranvet Stakes, G1 Mackinnon Stakes and concluded his career with over $2 million in prize money.
This colt’s dam Agueda was a precocious juvenile, winning one and placing in the G3 ATC Kindergarten Stakes, G3 Sweet Embrace Stakes, Listed Widden Stakes and Listed Keith Mackay Handicap.
In the spring of her three-year-old season, she returned to win at Rosehill and also notched up numerous other Stakes placings.
She has been an excellent producer and is the dam of four foals to race, all of which are winners, including recent two-year-old winner Good Girl plus sprint winners Enseguida, Chiranjeev and Heat.
Much like his sire, this colt is an exceptional individual with a beautiful action and all the makings of a successful racehorse.
Ownership opportunities are available to race him with DGR and John Thompson, please get in touch with Duncan for more information.
An outstanding filly by leading New Zealand sire Per Incanto from Winter Sky (IRE), an Invincible Spirit half-sister to Transfers, the dam of Group 1 winner Tom Kitten and stakes winners Va Via and Promotions. This filly was bred and raised at one of New Zealand’s very best nurseries, Little Avondale, a stud famed for producing 41 individual Group 1 winners.
In the make and shape of his leading sire, So You Think, this colt is from the 3yo stakes performer Valley Sweetheart. Hailing from a front-running family, he represented great buying very early on at Inglis Classic and is a type that is destined to follow in the footsteps of So You Think’s best progeny.
With loads of natural muscle, strength and a top pedigree on her side, this filly was a compelling buy for DGR’s Duncan Ramage. By the Group-winning Invincible Spirit stallion Ancient Spirit, she is from an impeccably related mare from one of New Zealand’s most distinguished nurseries.
A beautifully bred filly by exciting freshman So You Think stallion Peltzer. Her Not a Single Doubt dam was unbeaten as a juvenile and is already doing an excellent job at stud, producing a stakes-winning 2yo in Lord Cosmos.
An embodiment of speed in every conceivable aspect, this filly has the precocity, class and scope to be a top two-year-old and beyond. By exciting freshman sire Anders, she is from the Group-producing mare Think Icon, a daughter of up and coming Group 1 2yo damsire So You Think.
Duncan's Comments
“Having witnessed Prized Icon's development as a racehorse under James Cummings, I was aware of the sire's qualities. In addition to that, this colt is from a multiple Stakes performing General Nediym mare who has a smart 2yo in "Good Girl" and is an easy moving horse who will flourish further as he develops.”
