SMART MISSILE has the opportunity in the years ahead of becoming a Sensational Sire.
Already he wears the crown of
CHAMPION Australian First Crop Sire by Earnings 2015/16.
And he safely has claims to the title of
CHAMPION Australian Second Crop Sire by Winners 2016/17.
On these figures, it’s fair to assume that next season he should claim the Third Season title again.

As they say;
“The apple doesn’t roll far from the tree.”
With
SMART MISSILE the market now knows what they are receiving – sound, tough and consistent horses with racetrack ability.
DYNAMIC SYNDICATIONS has the philosophy to only
“RACE THE BEST ~ WITH THE BEST”
We purchase yearlings by the
BEST SIRES, with the
BEST PEDIGREES and give them to the
BEST TRAINERS. It’s a philosophy that has proven the test year after year.
Currently we have only a few shares remaining in what we consider could easily be
a sensational 2yo by SMART MISSILE. On what he has shown us to date, we wouldn’t be surprised if he measures up to the Magic Millions / Golden Slipper.
Our Colt
Our Colt
Our Yearling Colt is by SMART MISSILE ex HIGHLAND DAUGHTER (IRE).
He’s the
¾ brother to:
HIGHLAND BEAT who was an exceptional 2yo in his own right. He won two 2yo races at 2 and was stakes performed on 4 occasions.
His own Dam
HIGHLAND DAUGHTER was a
multiple Stakes Placed 2yo Winner by Kyllachy - one of the fastest sires in Europe.
HIGHLAND DAUGHTER is a half-sister to
RYAN - a Champion Racehorse of Europe.
We always know how good a start to life yearlings have when their breeders want to buy back in immediately after we purchase them.
Such is the case with this colt when
Jon Haseler, owner of Glenlogan Park Stud was the first to buy a share in our colt believing him to be a potential stallion prospect should the colt make it on the racetrack and from what we have now seen, it is proving to be a wise strategic decision.
This colt has now been in and out of
pre-training on 3 occasions and each time he has displayed an above average ability level to his work.
A free moving individual with an effortless stride, he is displaying enough precocity
at this point to consider he will be an early 2yo.
Our team at
Dynamic Syndications are excited to be producing such a wonderful equine athlete to the
Gai Waterhouse / Adrian Bott stables to polish into a high quality racehorse.
