Picasso is well put together, good moving horse with a relaxed temperament that is synonymous with the breed.
During his most recent preparation Picasso was close to trialing but had pulled up sore in his knees. A veterinary examination showed that the knee joints were currently active and he has recently returned to the paddock for a good 3 month break to allow plenty of time for this to settle down.
Picasso is by Champion sire Snitzel who is currently sitting atop the General Australian Sires list, as well as leading the charge in the 2YO and 3YO standings.
He is the second foal out of the international Stakes winning mare A Brilliant Idea, by Afleet Alex, her first foal is a filly by More Than Ready who is a multiple winner.
A Brilliant Idea is also a half-sister to two more stakes winners in Silent Bird and Morgan's Guerrilla, all of which are out of the Group 3 placed Saint Ballado mare Rutledge Ballado.
This is truly an international blacktype family with contemporary colonial appeal and provides a fantastic opportunity to buy a quality gelding with plenty of racing potential.
