Do your homework, both pedigree and conformation, bring in the veterinarian and he passes the horse, the vet then reads the X-Rays and these are clean too.
That was the story on lot 963 offered by Cressfield Stud.
Add in the fact that the sire is off to a flying start and is leading the first season sire’s premiership by earnings.
Now add in the Dam is a winner of 4 races from 1000m to 1400m including 2 x Gr3 Wins and she ran 3rd in the Gr1 Coolmore Classic.
Now consider the Dam has had 4 to race = 4 winners and all 4 are city class runners.
Next add in the colt’s 2nd Dam Reigntaine, was a full sister to CENTAINE. This is the modern day Australian Stud Book wonder family.
REIGNTAINE has produced Gr3 Winner PROCRASTINATE – Dam of LAISSERFAIRE, A TIME FOR JULIA and the dams of CENTENNIAL PARK, ZODIAC RULER.
REIGNTAINE also produced SW KAMPAIGNE - Dam of SW BLAKE and STORM AT NIGHT Grand-dam of Champion Australian 3yo LONE ROCK.
The pedigree rating was an A+ 625% score which is outstanding.
Wrap the package up by confirming that he is also BOBS eligible.
He’s got it all happening for him.
Now the price …… You could have knocked over with a feather when the auctioneer called for a low start and then after a bit of tug of war he was ours to a bid of $40,000 + GST = $44,000.
