Description

Here is a well-related colt by US Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. A US Champion First and Second Crop Sire, American Pharoah is off to an outstanding start at stud. He is already the sire of three individual Group One winners and has a Stakes winners to runners strike rate of 6.9%.

In Australia American Pharoah is also off to a very promising start at stud with 9 individual winners/place-getters from his first 2yo crop including Head of State who is among the leading nominations for the Group One Golden Rose.

This colt is a half-brother to two winners including the very smart juvenile Property, by Starcraft, who was a multiple Group winner at 2. His dam Opalize is out of a full-sister to two-time Group One winning Sprinter Desert Sky.
