Stud Comments
Murtajill justified his $660,000 price tag when he blitzed a quality field of two-year-olds in the season opening Listed Breeders’ Plate (1100m) in an impressive fleet-footed 57 seconds.Two starts later he posted another race record, this time in the Group 3 Skyline Stakes winning by an impressive three lengths. Starting favourite in the Group 1 Golden Slipper, he finished a brave fourth, beaten just over a length after being trapped wide from an outside barrier.
Murtajill was so impressive as a juvenile he was rated joint-second on the 2006-07 Australasian 2YO Classification ahead of Group 1 gallopers Light Fantastic, Swiss Ace and Forensics, second only to champion galloper Weekend Hussler.
His dam is none other than the extraordinary Skating. A dual Group 1 winner who emulated both Emancipation and Sunline, by winning the time-honoured Doncaster Handicap.
Skating, a blue-hen broodmare, has produced an incredible seven stakes performers, including Murtajill, Sunset Run and the Magic Millions hero and successful sire, Bradbury’s Luck.
The 2012 Australian yearling sale season saw the first of Murtajill’s progeny grace the sales arena where they were met by strong demand from buyers and trainers around the country.
