Description

Fast looking colt from Black Caviar’s family

Out of a 2yo winner by Helmet, this colt looks very much like his pedigree suggests – an early ‘jump and run’ 2yo type. It’s a pedigree full of early speed, with no less than 22 individual 2yo winners in four generations! A close relation to the smart city winning 2yo Cheeky Babe, since retiring she has visited the likes of Deep Field and Trapeze Artist and had yearlings sell to $150,000.

This colt arguably hails from the best family in the Australian Studbook, his fourth dam being Song Of Norway, herself just an unraced mare, but the dam of 11 to race, all of them winners. The dam of SCANDINAVIA who in turn gave us the almighty MAGNUS. Song Of Norway was also the dam of HELSINGE who produced not only the terrific, once in a lifetime BLACK CAVIAR but also the elite racehorse and now sire, ALL TOO HARD. Pedigrees don’t get any better than this!

Bred on the Snitzel x Exceed And Excel cross, it’s speed on speed. The current top class sprinter LOFTY STRIKE is also bred on this cross.

The colt’s sire Invader was also a tremendously talented 2yo himself. He came out victorious in the Gr.1 Sires Produce stakes and also put up tremendous performances when finishing second in both the Todman and Champagne stakes. With just two crops of racing age, Invader is the sire of 22 individual winners and remarkably is already the sire of the Gr.1 winner when SUNSHINE IN PARIS saluted in the recent Surround Stakes.
