Speed Thrills

Media Release - Sunday Sep 13

If it's precocious speed you want, then Coleman is the stallion you are looking for - Times don't lie, so take a look at what this stunning colt was able to achieve early in his career.

After recording a dominant win over Arabian Summer in the Listed Debutant Stakes at debut in the spring of 2023 he was a first up winner the following summer of the Gr.3 Chairman's Stakes.

What he did that day was visually impressive with trainer Matt Laurie noting that "the sky is the limit at this point" whilst the time he ran points to the fact that Coleman was very much a very above average two-year-old.

The race was 1000m... Coleman's blistering time 56.71 seconds.

Making Coleman the fastest juvenile to win over 1000m at Caulfield in decades.

And some pretty good ones have contested those Caulfield 1000m two-year-old contests over the years, Coleman faster than the Golden Slipper winner Crystal Lily, speedier than the Blue Diamond winners Extreme Choice and Reward For Effort.

And he carried more weight than them.

Coleman was not only fast - he was bred to be fast - and he is ready to pass on that speed.

His sire Pierata was a Gr.2 placed city winner at two, his grandsire Pierro unbeaten from six starts at two - taking out the Triple Crown.

Pierro's sire Lonhro won a Gr.3 Blue Diamond Prelude whilst his sire Octagonal took out the Gr.1 AJC Sires Produce Stakes after a barnstorming Gr.1 Golden Slipper Stakes second.

Defeating Octagonal that day was Flying Spur, Pierata's dam sire.

Both Octagonal and Pierro earned the coveted title of Australian Champion Two-Year-Old.

Between them the first five horses in Coleman's sire line raced 21 times at two... 13 wins

Between them the first six horses in his sire line have sired 71 individual two-year-old stakes winners.

And Coleman is out of a mare by Redoute's Choice - unbeaten at two including the Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes and sire of two Australian Champion Two-Year-Olds, grandsire of another five and great grandsire of yet another.

Redoute's Choice sired forty 2Y0 stakes winners, ten of whom won at Gr.1 level.

And then there is Coleman's family, his third dam Canny Lass a full sister to Australian Champion Two-Year-Old Canny Lad - high class  sire of nine juvenile stakes winners.

Early speed to burn is Coleman's pedigree signature. Be sure to be an early part of his early success!

Coleman stands at Blue Gum Farm at a fee of $7,700.
