A record-breaking Champagne 2YO, Guineas 3YO & Cox Plate runner-up, Castelvecchio's first yearlings sold up to $360,000 and include two winners and 2YO Sydney stakes performer El Castello.

HYPOTHETICAL MATING

Overview

A superlative Inglis Millennium and Group 1-winning juvenile who trained on to an acclaimed Cox Plate performance as a Spring 3YO, followed by a Guineas triumph in the Autumn, Castelvecchio fulfils the brief for a top-drawer Australian stallion prospect.

And he’s already delivering. Castelvecchio covered 335 mares in his first three seasons and his first Magic Millions Gold Coast & Inglis Easter yearlings averaged 6.5 x his opening fee.

 

 

A medium-sized, superbly athletic individual, Castelvecchio has a pedigree entirely free of Danehill – making him an ideal match for many Australian mares.

The clues are in plain sight. His Group 1-winning half-sister Maid Of Heaven is by Fastnet Rock’s son Smart Missile; his Group-winning half-sister Mirrasalo is by Redoute’s Choice; and his unraced half-sister Precious Moment has left stakeswinner Precious Memories to Stratum (by Redoute’s Choice).

“It was obvious from the start he was a pure athlete, and very fast with a great turn of foot. He always did everything so easily, he was extremely enthusiastic, very, very sound and never had a backward day. ”

— Castelvecchio’s trainer Richard Litt
