Brilliant Group I winning sprinter Reserve Bank was a newsmaker last month when selling through Inglis Digital’s inaugural Bull Ring Sale and the stunning son of Capitalist will stand his first season at Evergreen Stud this spring.
Reserve Bank ticks every box on talent, pedigree and physique.
Bred and sold by famed Hunter Valley nursery Segenhoe Stud, Reserve Bank was bought for $410,000 at Inglis Premier by his co-trainer Mick Price and wasted no time making an impression on the track.
His lone start at two produced a commanding five and a half length win over older rivals and at three he blossomed into an elite sprinting colt to score a career defining victory in the Group I SAJC Goodwood Handicap.
He is the only 3YO colt to win the Group I Goodwood over the past two decades, coming from near last to defeat a top class field featuring seasoned Group I winners Giga Kick, Charm Stone and Climbing Star.
Aaron Bott is thrilled to offer a stallion that has elite G1 form and a pedigree to match.
“He is one of only 10 colts to win an open age Group 1 in Australia over 1400m or less since 2018, placing him alongside the likes of Home Affairs, Alabama Express, Bivouac and Jacquinot,” said Bott.
“His sire Capitalist is a Golden Slipper winning son of Written Tycoon, whose reputation as a sire of sires goes from strength to strength and physically he is very true to type for this sireline.”
His European female family brings some diversity and G1 stamina to his pedigree profile and has consistently worked well with Australian speed.
The Price Kent stable has been a source for elite stallion talent including Extreme Choice, who was purchased as a yearling by Mick Price and nurtured into a G1 winner.
Michael Kent Jr believes Reserve Bank has what it takes.
“He had an exceptional turn of foot, a real will to win and a magnificent attitude… if he throws sons and daughters like himself, you’ll have a lot of fun with them,” he said.
Reserve Bank will stand at a fee of $16,500 inc. GST.
