“He’s from a family going places and has a stallion’s pedigree,” Ciaron Maher told Inglis’s Jemma Cutting.

“He’s been bought for existing clients and is mostly all sold.”

Bred by John Stuart Investments, who also bred his mother, the colt is a three-quarter brother-in-blood to dual Group I winner and promising young sire Russian Revolution being the first foal of well bred Sebring mare Turbo Miss, who is also a half-sister to the dam of this season’s Group II ATC Silver Slipper stakes winner Home Affairs.

Turbo Miss has a colt foal by The Autumn Sun and is in foal to Deep Field.
