Sensational young sire Castelvecchio's first-crop 3YOs include G1 winners Aeliana (Australian Derby) & El Castello (Spring Champion S.), G2 winner Double Market and G3 winners Shangri La Spring & Verona Rose.

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 now he’s delivering with 6 first-crop 3YO stakeswinners from his first 62 runners, including two dazzling Group 1 winners, El Castello (Spring Champion S. G1 & Gloaming S. G3) & Aeliana, spectacular winner of the Australian Derby G1, after two Group 1 Guineas placings.

Group winners Double Market, Shanrgi La Spring & Verona Rose, and Listed winner Comanche Miss underlined the emergence of a bright new star among Australian sires.

 

 

With only two months of 2024/25 to go, Castelvecchio is #4 on Australia’s 3YO Sires’ list, ahead of Zoustar & I Am Invincible, and among the top 10 on the General Sires’ premiership by stakes wins, with a total of 9 this season. And that’s with significantly fewer runners than every other stallion in the top 20.

The 2YO market responded quickly to Castelvecchio’s rise, with NZ$400,000 paid for the colt ex First Tier, a full brother to Double Market, at the NZ Ready To Run Sale in November 2024. The 2025 yearling market followed suit with an average price of 3.3 times Castelvecchio’s 2022 fee for 29 lots, up to the $290,000 paid by Star Thoroughbreds for the super-athletic Romalette colt at Magic Millions. 

And just as predicted, Castelvecchio is proving a highly effective match for mares by Danehill-line stallions like Fastnet Rock (damsire of El Castello) and Redoute’s Choice (Double Market & Shangri La Spring). 

 

“She was extraordinary. She left the barriers well, just travelled great from the outset and felt a winner a long way out.”

— Aeliana's jockey Damian Lane after her 5.3-length victory in the the Australian Derby G1, 5 April 2025
