Staphanos X Quintessential Colt

Sired by the Japanese horse in Staphanos, this colt was very well purchased for NZ$140k from the Group One producing farm Curraghmore.

Staphanos was a world-class racehorse, competing—and hitting the board—at the very highest level. A multiple Grade 1 performer, he proved his quality not just once, but across seasons, distances, and continents. From Japan to Dubai, he consistently took on the best and never stopped knocking on the door of greatness.

By Deep Impact, the most influential sire in modern Japanese breeding, Staphanos carries one of the most desirable bloodlines in the world—synonymous with class, stamina, and durability.

Progeny of Staphanos include Gr1 winner Pignan, The Entertainer, Tulsa King and our very own Dreams Come True.

Out of the Group One winning mare Quintessential, she won over $700k in Australia and New Zealand. She is the dam of 4 foals to race and three have been winners.

The colt will stay in New Zealand where he will be broken in and spelled. He will then pre train and then make his way across to Australia.

Purchase includes bloodstock, pre sale vetting and scope, road transport, breaking, agistment, airfreight, Studbook import fees and GST.
