Description

New stallion SHOWCASING has exploded on the scene these past couple of weeks with his first three colts to race producing two 2yo winners and a place-getter! If he keeps this up, you certainly wont be getting a colt like this by the stallion for this price again!


In our continuing search for the best yearlings that we can offer, Grand Syndicates went off to the Karaka Yearling Sales in New Zealand last month and purchased this fantastic, A+ True Nicks rated colt by the first season stallion ‘Showcasing’! As usual, the shares in him are $1,100 each and $6/day, and Robbie Laing put his hand up to train him for us. It’s easy to see what a good looking colt he is just by looking at the photos, but as most people aren’t too familiar with Showcasing, here’s a bit about him...


__________________________________________________________________________________________


‘Showcasing’ is an English bred dual hemisphere stallion who was a very speedy racehorse winning the time honoured Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York in record time, and also being placed at the elite (Group 1) level in the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket too. He’s a son of the Champion Sire Oasis Dream and is from a family that exudes high class black type performers. In fact, the first five dams in his pedigree are all Stakes Winners!


Such is the high opinion of Showcasing’s progeny amongst buyers, that his first Northern Hemisphere yearlings in 2013 sold for up to €150,000 with a host of others selling between €110,000 and €50,000. In New Zealand where his first yearlings sold at the 2014 Karaka Sales, he had a colt sell for $180,000 and a filly sell for $90,000. Having served over 240 mares in his first two seasons at stud, and with over 70% of his first crop progeny directly related to black type within two generations, the building blocks are in place for Showcasing to establish a successful stallion career.


Purchased from the 2014 Karaka Select Yearling Sale, this colt has an all New Zealand based pedigree with an abundance of depth to it-in fact more so than any other young horse that we’ve offered. He’s from the Soviet Star mare Tantara who won 3 races to 2000m (two on city tracks) and was also placed on 4 occasions too. At stud, she’s had two to the races and both have been winners, Nine Pin winning three times to 1600m and Hekabe winning twice to 2200m. The colts’ second dam SOLTANTO was a winner of 7 races including the Group 2 AuRC Clifford Plate, and at stud she in turn has produced 9 winners including 3 of them who have won and placed at Stakes level. A handy record indeed, however the colts third dam SOLILOQUY was even better! She won an incredible 13 races on the track, and at stud went on to produce 9 winners including the triple Group 1 winner SOLVEIG who won 14 races and was the NZ Filly Of The Year in her classic year.


A solid, robust type with good hooves and correct physical conformation, he’s a well muscled individual who rated well in our pre sale inspection. He’s got a nice walking action and a good temperament-all very important attributes as he develops into a racehorse. The natural speed of the stallion should see this colt have a genuine chance of winning the shorter two year old races, whilst also having the depth in his pedigree to win up to a mile or more. Whilst you’ll see plenty of Showcasing’s in England and New Zealand, you won’t see too many of them in Australia. We couldn’t resist this colt though, and we flew him to Melbourne soon after the sale. With the great experience of trainer Robbie Laing to guide him through, he’ll get every possible chance to put you into the Winners Circle...
