By DANEHILL out of AJC Oaks [G1] winner CIRCLES OF GOLD, ELVSTROEM was one of the most versatile racehorses of the last decade. Victorious in no less than 5 x G1's - the Dubai Duty Free, VRC Victoria Derby, Caulfield Cup, Orr S. and the Underwood S.- ELVSTROEM was crowned the Australian Horse of the Year 2004/05 in a season that saw him win G1 races from 1400m to 2400m. Proving that he could sprint as well as stay, ELVSTROEM finished a gallant 4in the Melbourne Cup over unsuitably wet ground before returning triumphant in the 1400m CF Orr S. [G1] at his next start following a break. The winner of 10 races in all, 9 at group level, ELVSTROEM amassed over $5m in prizemoney throughout his career, rendering him the highest earning son of DANEHILL.

Retiring to stud in 2005, ELVSTROEM has sired just over 100 runners to date incl. the Tony Vasil-trained CARRARA, winner of the G2 Stutt S. and runner up in the G1 Caulfield Guineas. Other promising ELVSTROEM progeny include recent Randwick Guineas [G1] runner-up VIKING LEGEND, Group placed on four other occasions, as well as first start 2YO Stakes winner INNOCENT GAMBLE.

EMPOWER, the Stakes winning dam of this colt (AJC Widden S.[L]; 2d STC Magic Night S. [G2]), boasts four winners at stud incl. multiple city winning Empowered. Winning second dam MAJESTIC DAME has also thrown many winners at stud incl. multiple winners Fire in the Hole (6 wins) and Vital Asset (also 6 wins). Third dam, the unraced SHY DAME, has a perfect record at stud and her progeny include the G1 placed CADILLAC WOMEN (3d Breeders Cup JuvenileFillies [G1]).

"Lovely well conformed bay colt who looks every inch a Classic type. Enough scope to think he could stand tall as a 3YO with the best of them. Co-purchased with Pat Carey who found him on type more than pedigree but is from a Black-type winning mare by Marauding into the bargain," Dean Humphries.

Monthly fees approximately $300 per month.
