Stud Comments
By champion stallion Montjeu, dual Group One winner Tavistock ticks all the boxes for breeders wanting the classic middle-distance horse says Sir Patrick Hogan."What we do best, better than Australia, is breed the classic, weight-for-age and middle distance horses. This horse is exactly what everyone is screaming out for."
Showing enormous turn of foot and performing at his best on a hard, fast track, Tavistock was successful twice at Group One level in the 2009/10 season over 1400m in New Zealand.
Racing more recently in Australia as "Lord Tavistock", the 4 yr old won his second race at Flemington when coming from the back to beat Vigor and Dao Dao in the Group Two VRC Blarney Stakes over 1600m.
The sire line and female family of Tavistock works on every level says Sir Patrick .
"Montjeu is a champion stallion and it's a proven cross with New Zealand bloodlines. And Quest for Fame fits into the pedigree very well," says Sir Patrick.
"It's a sire line which oozes speed. Quest for Fame is by Rainbow Quest who, in turn, is by Blushing Groom. Stravinsky is from a Blushing Groom mare and I believe this is where he inherited his turn of foot."
Also to the fore is the presence of the world-class broodmare, Mrs Moss, as Tavistock's third dam. She left the Japan Cup Group One winner Jupiter Island and current racetrack star Precedence, the Bart Cummings trained Zabeel horse is also from this family.
Tavistock has a great attitude and marvellous temperament, both on the lead and around other horses says Sir Patrick. "He's a lovely looking horse, has a good strong male type head on him, good rein, high wither, nice length, an excellent set of legs with nice bone and very good set of knees and joints."
Tavistock retired with a race record of 6 wins & 4 placings from 18 starts. Alongside his two Group One wins in New Zealand this season he was placed second in the Group One Thorndon Mile behind Wall Street..
