From the first crop of Arrowfield Stud’s Group 1 Champagne Stakes and Group 1 Rosehill Guineas winner Castelvecchio, who was good enough to finish second in the Group 1 WS Cox Plate behind Japan’s Lys Gracieux, Lot 558 is a bay colt out of the well-related Fastnet Rock mare Wynnstay Avenue, a three-quarter-sister to Listed winner Chickens, who is in turn the dam of Group 3 winner Do You Think.
From the family of Group 1 winners Danendri, Bonham, Faint Perfume, Copperama and Danestorm, this colt is out of a Fastnet Rock mare, who as a broodmare sire has been represented by 161 global stakes performers including Group 1 winners Santa Ana Lane, Russian Emperor, Gytrash, Tivaci, Glint Of Hope and this season’s Flight Stakes winner Zougotcha.
Lot 558 is bred on the similar High Chaparral x Fastnet Rock pedigree cross that has produced 45 winners from 75 runners highlighted by the Group 2-winning, Group 1 placed Palaisipan and the Group 3 winner Majestic Colour.
