The upward trajectory in this colt’s pedigree is soaring at serious speed. By proven trans-Tasman Group 1 sire Proisir, he was purchased at enormous value just moments before his half-brother bolted in to win authoritatively on debut at Warwick Farm.
Trained by John Sargent, Royal Randwick.
Purchased for $240,000 from Pepper Tree Farm’s Magic Millions draft, this colt is by New Zealand’s reigning Leading Sire Proisir from the sharp three-time-winning mare Sororia (NZ).
Proisir has risen quickly through the ranks from an initial $12,500 service fee to the current $70,000 from his success as a leading sire, and is well on the way to replacing the likes of Sir Tristram, Zabeel and Tavistock as New Zealand’s past premier sires.
The physical nature of this colt, which will only continue to develop, is a clear measure of why Proisir has become so prominent so quickly.
Timing was on our side as we purchased this colt half an hour before his hitherto unraced half-brother Bullets High won authoritatively on debut at Warwick Farm, Sydney metro (watch replay).
With it all before him, Proisir has already left a remarkable legacy. He is the sire of six individual Group 1 winners, including Champions Levante, Prowess and Legarto.
Limited ownership opportunities are available to race him with DGR and Royal Randwick-based Group 1 trainer John Sargent. 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.
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.
