Just two days after siring his first winner, Kingstar Farm’s promising young sire Time to Reign added a second with King’s Court saluting at Ascot.

Kingstar Farm’s freshman stallion Time To Reign has had a couple of metropolitan placegetters and broke through for his first winner at Wagga on Thursday with Timeless Grace.

In the space of the last seven days Kingstar Farm’s promising young sire Time to Reign has put his name in the spotlight with two metro trial winners from four runners, plus another metro place-getter and two of these promising youngsters have been nominated for feature races at Randwick this Saturday.

Kingstar Farm had a great result on Friday at Magic Millions when the only three yearlings in Book 1 by their promising young sire Time to Reign all sold at an average $160,000, that’s good going for a stallion that stands at a fee of $9,900!

Kingstar Farm are looking forward to Friday at the Magic Millions when the three yearlings in Book 1 by their first season sire Time to Reign will all go under the hammer and Conor Phelan reports they have been well inspected this week.

The pursuit for precocious speed sires continues for Kingstar Farm who have added further ammunition to their growing stallion roster with the acquisition of top juvenile of his year, Time To Reign.

A brilliant winner of the Group II ATC Silver Slipper Stakes and last seen finishing fifth in the Group I ATC Golden Slipper, exciting colt Time to Reign stepped out at the trials at Warwick Farm on Friday morning and was a super impressive heat winner.

Trainer Gary Portelli admitted he was gutted when Time To Reign lost his unbeaten record when out of a place in the Lonhro Plate at Warwick Farm on February 9, but the smile was back on his face when the Time For War colt downed the Golden Slipper favourite Tassort in Saturday’s $250,000 Group II Silver Slipper Stakes at Rosehill Gardens.

Showing all the speed of his Golden Slipper-winning half-sister She Will Reign, the Garry Portelli-trained Time To Reign dominated Saturday's Kirkham Plate (1000m) at Randwick from the front to earn his ill-fated sire Time For War the honour of becoming the first first-season sire to have a winner.
