Description

The colt


When I attended the Tasmanian Magic Millions Sale this year I was taken by this colt. I had inspected the high profile colts in the sale but was more impressed by this fellow than any of the other ones on offer.


He has a beautiful easy walk and gets around very well. He is a beautifully relaxed horse and our vet Tim Roberts was also very impressed with him. I don’t purchase too many colts but was determined to get this fellow. To put it simply he oozed class and is out of a very good Flying Spur mare by a stallion that can get a very good horse.


I expect this colt to run at two and have paid him up for the Tasmanian Magic Millions but really expect him to excel as a three year old and beyond where his best distances should be at 1600m.


The colt will be a great addition to our team of horses trained by Charlie Goggin and Leuella Meaburn at Runnymede Stud in Tasmania.


Tough Speed


Tough Speed has stood at Armidale Stud in Tasmania for nine seasons serving relatively small books of mares. In the main this was due to the Tasmanian economy and the uncertainty surrounding the state of the thoroughbred Industry. It is interesting to note in the 2013 breeding season he served his biggest book of mares.


In any case his results have been very good with his best being the Stakes winners Black’n’Tough, Banca Mo, Lyell and Tough Chick as well as the stakes placed Settler’s Joy, Speedy Sky and Jay Bee’s Gee Gee.


When assessing a stallion I like to look at the number of stakes winners to winners a horse has. Very few have a 10% or greater conversion rate. Tough Speed has a 6% conversion rate which is very good considering the quality of mares he served.


Many of his progeny go on to win multiple races with 79% of his winners being metropolitan winners.


Australia’s leading sire Fastnet Rock has 66% winners to runners compared with Tough Speed’s 56% which gives you an idea of his effectiveness.


In my opinion Vickers is one of the highest quality mares to go to Tough Speed.


Vickers


Vickers is by the Champion broodmare sire Flying Spur who is currently 4th on the Australian Broodmare List. Vickers was a very good race mare winning metropolitan races at Flemington, Caulfield and Sandown. She ran a terrific 5th in the Group 3 Tranquil Star Stakes. Unfortunately she had a race fall and this ended her racing career.


Vickers comes from one of the best families in Tasmania being out of the stakes winning mare Eascapada. The 3rd dam is Knightly Belle a high class Sydney two year old and dam of the stakes winners Poacher’s Star, The Old China and of course Escapada.


As a broodmare Vickers has done a very good job with four of her six foals winning on for mainland. I purchased the first foal out of the mare for $70,000 but unfortunately she had to be put down after a paddock accident.


It should be noted she missed getting into foal in the season before she had this colt. The odds of a mare getting a stakes horse increase after missing a year and a good mare like Vickers is entitled to get a very good horse. Hopefully it is this colt.
