$16,500 – He Can Put You in the Winner’s Circle

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Jul 7

The High Chaparral (IRE) sireline is one of the most popular and successful in the country and if the likes of Super Seth, Dundeel and Toronado (IRE) are beyond the budget there is another good option and he sired a new stakes-winner on Saturday.

A Group I winner of the ATC Rosehill Guineas, So You Think’s dashing grey son D’Argento stands at Bowness Stud near Young at a fee of $16,500.

With his oldest progeny four year-olds, D’Argento has had a great season with 50 winners from 96 runners in Australia to give him a seasonal strike rate of 52% winner to runner, which is very similar to another Rosehill Guineas winner from the same sireline in Castelvecchio.
