An outstanding individual from the first crop by Champion 3YO Colt in Australia, Tarzino, this colt was purchased for A$230,000 from Westbury Stud’s Magic Millions Yearling draft.
Trained by Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr
Here is an outstanding individual from the first crop of yearlings by G1 VRC Derby and Rosehill Guineas winner Tarzino. His purchase price certainly reflects the quality this colt possesses, and Duncan was delighted to secure him in conjunction with his sire’s trainer Mick Price and co-trainer Michael Kent Jnr who commenced his training partnership with Mick in 2019.
He is the first foal out of sprint-winning mare Eau de Parfum, who is by champion broodmare sire Redoute’s Choice. Extremely well related, Eau de Parfum is a half-sister to G2 Queensland Guineas and G3 Hawkesbury Guineas winner Sambro.
From a family packed full of speed, this colt’s pedigree features G1 Golden Slipper winner Polar Express, and G2 Coolmore Silver Shadow Stakes winner Bring Me The Maid (also third in the G1 Golden Slipper).
Duncan’s first purchase with Mick is Craftsmanship, who won a stakes race this season and also ran in the VRC Derby. This colt fits the mould as a perfect Derby prospect, and it’s no secret that Mick has a distinguished record of producing Derby horses.
This colt has now been named Mangani.
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.
