Description

Takshaka is a dual winning son of Champion Racehorse and Champion Sire, Lord Kanaloa (JPN).

The 4YO Gelding, bred by leading stud farm Arrowfield Stud, was a $475,000 purchase from the 2021 Magic Millions January Sale.

To-date, he has won 2 races from 4 starts, claiming his most recent victory at Morphettville over 1250m beating his opponents by 1.6L.

Although Lord Kanaloa’s progeny are exceptional 2 and 3YO’s, they have also been know to leave high quality gallopers as they mature such as Group Winners Almond Eye, Diatonic, King of Koji and Danon Smash.

Given the numerous 2YOs coming through our own system, we have decided to sell this lightly tried horse with plenty of upside to allow the new owner enough time for an Autumn preparation and beyond.

Takshaka stands at 15.2hh.
