Race a Classic style of colt with the DGR team. He is by Group One sire Dundeel and was purchased by Duncan from Arrowfield’s Inglis Classic Yearling draft for A$150,000.
Trained by Anthony Cummings
DGR’s Duncan Ramage was delighted to purchase this athletic colt by leading young sire Dundeel from Arrowfield’s Inglis Classic Yearling draft during the 2020 Yearling Sale series.
Like DGR purchased multiple winner and Group performer, Profit (also by Dundeel), he was born and raised at iconic thoroughbred nursery Arrowfield Stud and is bred and built to be the perfect Classic and Derby contender.
Acclaimed as the Classic and weight-for-age star of his generation, this colt’s sire Dundeel is now forging an equally spectacular career at stud. From just three full racing crops, he has already sired four individual Group One winners, including; record-breaking G1 ATC Champagne Stakes and G1 Rosehill Guineas winner Castelvecchio, G1 Caulfield Guineas winner Super Seth, two-time Group One-winning two-year-old Yourdeel and G1 Kenilworth Cape Derby winner Atyaab.
Laissez Faire herself is exceptionally well-related being a three-quarter sister to stakes winner Lunaspur – also the dam of Group winners Colorado Claire and Moonovermanhattan. There is plenty of speed found throughout this colt’s pedigree with Group One-winning sprinter in Hong Kong Lucky Bubbles featuring in his third dam.
Declared by Arrowfield’s yearling manager Steve Irwin as “the pick of the colts”, his appeal was further heightened by the fact he is out of a Flying Spur mare; making him bred on the same cross as G2 Wakeful Stakes winner Victoria Quay, plus four other Stakes winners.

Arrowfield’s late sire Flying Spur has cemented himself as one of the finest broodmare sires seen in recent years. He features as the damsire of many greats, including Group One winners Pierata, Nakeeta Jane, Brooker, Shillelagh, Preferment, Speak Fondly and Headway.
Duncan has a long history of proven success buying horses that have gone on to win Classics, Derbies and Cups. Group One winners Saintly, Viewed, Dariana, Faint Perfume, God’s Own, Roman Emperor, Wonderful World, Fine Society (plus so many more) all attest to this fact.
This colt is currently pre-training at Hannover Lodge and will commence his training preparation with Anthony Cummings in the next ten days.
An excellent partnership is forming fast to race this colt so don’t delay to secure your piece. The current ownership group includes various owners who between them, have won the likes of the Golden Slipper, Melbourne Cup, VRC Oaks and QLD Derby.

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.
By leading 2yo sire Extreme Choice from the multiple Group winner Istanford (USA), this filly was raised at the top Golden Slipper-producing nursery of Newgate Farm and will get every opportunity of success under the guidance of Anthony Cummings, the trainer of her sire’s best daughter and DGR’s up-and-coming 2yo Group placegetter Extreme Diva.
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.
Duncan's Comments
“This colt has an excellent constitution and his pedigree suggests that he is set for success. He's moves beautifully and has been purchased with the Classics in mind.”
