The passing of Canny Lad in June was a sad day for many in the Thoroughbred industry.

Canny Lad was a Champion multiple G1 performer and winner of the famous G1 Golden Slipper for 2 year-olds.

At stud he commanded a service fee of $16,500.

His long stud career was great which was evidenced by his progeny’s earnings being over $53 mil with over 64% winners to runners.

His racing progeny included Group winners Republic Lass (earnings $1,530,000) and He’s No Pie Eater (earnings $720,000).

The colt “He’s No Pie Eater” unfortunately died from a freak accident while in training at age of only 3. From only 16 starts he won 10 races of which 2 were Group 1 races, being the Chipping Norton Stakes (1600m) and the Rosehill Guineas (2000m). His connections were in the process of retiring him to stud at a reported price of $10 mil.

Fortunately however, that colt has a full-brother in the form of “Canny Show” and he has the bloodline credentials to fulfil the promising stud career of his brother.

Unraced due to injury, “Canny Show” is undoubtedly the best bred sire-son of Canny Lad. His dam-line includes blue-hen royalty such as Show Lady and Best in Show, whose family includes Redoute’s Choice, Platinum Scissors, Manhatten Rain and Al Maher.

He now stands at the Kootingal NSW Stud, Tanglewood Farm at a fee of only $3,300 and enquiries can be directed to Brian Worth Tel: 0437 605 268.

Free of any Danehill blood, “Canny Show” is being applauded as the most likely sire to continue the successful dynasty established by Canny Lad.
