“He’s a real athlete. The four-legged equivalent of Carl Lewis. The female side of the family is kicking on, too. His 2-year-old full brother Jarbardar won at his first start at Wagga and then finished second to the Home Affairs filly Natural Fling at Caulfield last Saturday week,” said Gray Williamson.

“Straight Charge has shown the temperament, speed and early maturity to throw those early 2-year-old and 3-year-old winners that the market desires. He's also an easy mate as he's Danehill free, and his physique will be a great attribute for the mare base we have in WA.”

He will join A Lot (USA) who stands at $7700 inc GST while Winning Rupert and My Admiration stand at $4400 inc GST.
