A big, strong colt by gun young sire TARZINO, Mick’s Victoria Derby winner who was unlucky not to win the Australian Guineas. Almost 100 winners from 188 runners to date. Most possess stamina and a turn of foot, including stakes winners Gypsy Goddess (QLD Oaks), Jungle Magnate (SA Derby), Hong Kong star Beautyverse, Kadavar and Immediacy.

There is good speed through the pedigree. Dam LADY PRIMROSE (More Than Ready) was unraced, five foals to race, three winners including Wellington Guineas winner Cognito and multiple metro winner Presser.
Same family as Primrose Sands – eight wins in a row – brilliant Railway Handicap (1200m) winner Valencia and Australian Derby winner Ethiopia.
The colt has been transported to Phoenix Farm approximately an hour from the sales complex to have a month off on the green grass of New Zealand. He will then fly to Australia and begin his education, spell, pre train, spell, pre train and then make his way down to Cranbourne around June/July.
