Although devastated when injury brought Krupt's racing career to a premature end, his trainer Matthew Smith now has much to look forward to with his progeny.

The winner of the 2008 Todman Stakes, Krupt was scratched on the morning of the Golden Slipper with a stone bruise and later fractured a splint bone.

Subsequent efforts to get him back to the track failed and he went to stud in 2010, serving around 30 mares in his first season.

Among them was Riverview, the mother of the Smith-trained Veselka who gave Krupt his first winner.

Veselka beat her stablemate Emceeing, also by Krupt, in a Kembla Grange 1000m maiden on May 17 and will be at home at Warwick Farm on Wednesday when she runs against two-year-old fillies over 1100 metres.

Emceeing was also down to run at Warwick Farm but will be saved for the Kensington track meeting at Randwick on Monday.

Despite his affection for 2011 Group One Myer Classic winner Hurtle Myrtle, Smith rates Krupt the best horse to enter his stable.

"He is clearly the best horse I have ever laid a hand on," Smith said.

"It was such a pity he didn't race again.

"But I'm really happy to have his progeny. I've got four two-year-olds by him. They all show ability and I have had three runners for a win and two seconds.

"They are sound, tough horses."

Island Jewel ran second at Gosford on April 25 while Princess Paris, a half sister to Prince Harada, has yet to race.

Veselka, who is owned by Smith's wife Melissa, will be ridden by Jeff Lloyd who has made a successful comeback after suffering a stroke little more than a year ago.

The filly has drawn the outside barrier in the 11-horse field.

Among her opposition is the stakes placed Uratta Belle, second to Shigeru Sendan in the Listed Woodlands Stakes at Scone on May 17.

Trained by Kylie Gavenlock, Uratta Belle also has a debut third in December on her record behind one-time Magic Millions favourite Echo Gal.
