Let Gold Trip be your next Melbourne Cup & Classic sire
On the cusp of the Oaks and in reflection of a brilliant Melbourne Cup Carnival to date let's consider the results to help guide our future plans of breeding a high-class stayer.
Half Yours famously and quite dominantly won both the Caulfield & Melbourne Cups, careering away on Tuesday as the only Australian-bred runner in a high-quality field, littered with expensive imports, to claim the $10,000,000Melbourne Cup.
Bred by Colin & Janice McKenna and raised and reared on their farm near Warrnambool the victory was a boon for the local romantics who still believe and dream of breeding a Classic style of horse capable of racing through the ranks and fighting it out on the biggest day of the year.
Stepping back to Derby Day on Saturday and the $2,000,000 VRC Derby, a race only ever won by horses bred to Southern-Hemisphere time, we saw a future star of the game and a horse that in some 2026 markets for the Melbourne Cup is listed as favourite, in Observer. A son of the shuttle stallion Ghaiyyath, Observer looks the type of horse capable of winning Cox Plates and the Cups, all while trotting through a 3 year-old Autumn campaign racing against his own age of largely locals.
Gold Trip, the Melbourne Cup winner who also defeated global superstar Romantic Warrior by 3 lengths in a weight-for-age 2000m Turnbull Stakes romp, stands this season at Lovatsville for a fee of $8,800(incl. GST)with attractive deals available. Fertile, fabulous looking and with exceptional foals hitting the ground, Gold Trip is a brilliant option for those looking to breed, sell or race the next Half Yours and Observer.
A grandson of Exceed and Excel, from a brilliant Aga Khan family and returning a CT Short on the Equinome speed gene test, Gold Trip ran as a 2 year-old before becoming a Group winner at three in France, running third in the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris.
Gold Trip went so close in an Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe as a 3 year-old,which places him comfortably in the company of the sadly deceased So You Think, The Autumn Sun and the Ghaiyyath's of the stud world as far as pure ability goes.
A stunning specimen, with the Classic racetrack success that we can only dream of and available for a fraction of the fee of some of the Classic sire options in the market. To learn more about the deals available please call Sam White on 0408 123 428.
