Key Points
An athletic gelding bred for speed. By FLYING ARTIE, winner of the Coolmore Stakes, out an EXCEED AND EXCEL mare.
He’d got a good hindquarter and a deep girth.
His three year old half brother, Ashgrove, trained by Tony Gollan placed third in the Gr. 2 Queensland Guineas.
The gelding was born and raised at Newgate Farm a farm synonymous with success.
Bloodstock Selection
Andrew and Peter Morgan “Morgs” made the following notes at the sale where he was purchased for $60,000. He has returned that in just 7 starts as a three year old.
He had all the attributes we look for. Good Hindquarter, Good Shoulder, Deep Girth and Good Balance.
He was a good walking colt with a kind nature.
