• His only 2 trials have been won impressively. Both were in fast time and together they
showed the gelding’s versatility, lovely action and turn of foot. Click on the video above
to view replays of his two trial wins, along with parade footage.

• At 15.3 1/2 hands, the liver chestnut gelding is a strong type with excellent athletic qualities,
both at the walk and when galloping. His vet assessment confirmed his soundness, wind
capacity (grade 1 scope) and temperament.

• He is by Group 1 Cox Plate winner, Ocean Park, the sire of 20 stakes winners including
Group 1 winners Kolding, Tofane and Kovalica. In 2020, he was the first sire in four years to
beat Savabeel as New Zealand’s top earning stallion.

• The first foal from the Zoustar mare Terralune, the gelding has an imposing family. With
Zoustar internationally considered a superior broodmare sire, Montecristo’s dam is also a
half-sister to the New Zealand 2yo Champion of 2014-15, Marky Mark.

• Phill Cataldo recommended the purchase. Following the gelding from his first trial, he was
quick to act when the horse showed an even more impressive performance in his second
trial.

Montecristo is priced at $25,800 + GST for 10%, or $12,900 + GST for 5%. These prices include all
costs to October 31, 2023, transport expenses to Australia and insurance to July 31, 2024.

We believe Montecristo has real quality and an exciting future ahead.

We are pleased to be offering shares in this homebred two year old filly out of metropolitan winning mare Magna Rossa.  Sire Highland Reel is a son of Galileo the winner of ten races two at group one level, with his oldest Australian progeny being four year olds.

Matthew’s Comments- This is a lovely strong correct filly who has broken in well.  She will be given time and we expect her to be hitting the track as an early three year old.  An affordable way to get into racing and cheer home your very own horse.

Shares are available in her at $7,762 including gst per 10%.  This includes all costs to the end of October 2023.

This filly is both Super Vobis and Vobis Gold nominated.

She commenced work on 31/10/23 and we expect she will get up to having a soft jump out this preparation.

We currently have shares available in this stunning two year old filly by Capitalist. She is out of the four time stakes winner Simply Spiteful who is also a half sister to a stakes winner.  Simply Spiteful is the dam of six foals to race for five winners and is certainly doing a good job at stud.  Capitalist being a Golden Slipper winner who’s oldest progeny are three year old’s.  He is the sire of eleven stakes performed two year old’s in his first crop.  He currently stands at stud for $77,000.

Matthew’s Comments- This filly is an absolute cracker who we expect will grow into a good strong 16hh three year old.  She has a big shoulder and girth on her and a great walk.  She will have good residual value if she can perform on the track as there is plenty of black type through the family.  And who doesn’t love a grey?

Shares are available in her at $14,578 including gst per 10%.  This includes all costs to the end of October 2023 including mortality insurance to 30.04.24.  Price also includes nomination to the Inglis Race Series.

She commenced work on 31/10/23 and we expect she will get up to having a soft jump out this preparation.

Matthew and I are pleased to be able to offer you the opportunity to race a three year old filly with us by US Navy Flag out of Unbeknown who was a winner over 1400m and the dam of two to race for two winners.

Astute NZ bloodstock agent Phill Cataldo secured her for us after a strong first trial at Rotorua . Phill has selected numerous winners for our stable including- Unseen Ruler, Ripple Effect, Wrote To Arataki and Toregene. This filly has been fully vetted to Hong Kong standards including scope and x-rays, which were both considered low risk.

Please follow this link to her trial footage and Phill’s parade assessment of her https://vimeo.com/808824824 this video may be password protected, the password is- usnf

Here is the link to her second trial at Taupo, her rider is wearing the brown silks with orange sleeves. Here she shows good gate speed, takes up a forward position and despite being trapped three wide the trip she finds the line very strongly.

Watch from the 4 minute mark- https://youtu.be/sN-HPcWqY4g

After Matthew’s assessment this is a filly that ticks all of the boxes. A strong, athletic, well developed two year old from a winning family. US Navy Flag is the winner of the Newmarket July Cup at group 1 level and her dam Unbeknown is a half to Trounced who is the winner of nine races including the group 1 Avondale Gold Cup. Although this filly has shown good speed in her trials over short distances, Matthew feels over time she will get out over at least a mile which is supported by what her attached pedigree page suggests.

Shares are available at $15,471 for 10% or $7,735 for 5%. This includes gst, mortality insurance and all other fees to the end of October 2023.

This filly is currently in work.
