Description

Sharp Colt out of stakes performed mare

This is the first foal out of the stakes performed West Australian speed mare, How To Fly (Written Tycoon). A multiple city winner at 1000m, she was stakes placed in the Magic Millions 3yo trophy and 4th in the Jungle Mist Classic. This is a fast family, which can run early, and this colt looks to have matched the pedigree on type.

Shooting to Win is proving himself to be a great winning producing sire, operating at 60% winners to runners. He is responsible for 56 individual winners this season alone, as well as 5 stakes performers. A consistent sire with winners everywhere.

This colt is a real trainers type.

Note- The yearling has not had Sale Xray’s taken and has not been scoped.
