Stratosphere has left outstanding individuals and it is no surprise that his first crop yearlings were exceptionally well received this year in the sale ring. His yearlings averaged over $36k (9 x service fee) providing breeders with one of the best return on service fee of any stallion in Australia. Stratosphere’s yearlings sold for $125k, $80k, $70k, $65k etc and were bought by many leading local and interstate trainers and we can’t wait to see them hit the track in the months ahead.
Stratosphere had blistering speed and he has certainly stamped his progeny who look to be precocious, early individuals. Stratosphere is by 4 times champion sire Snitzel who continues to be the hottest sire in the country and is out of an exceptionally fast female line being a full brother to stakes winners Sprightly Lass and Le Cordon Bleu.
Trainer Peter Snowden had a very high opinion of Stratosphere, starting him in a Group race as he believed he had was going to be a top class galloper.
Peter Snowden stated - “He had precocious speed and untapped ability and showed that at his first start when running second, beaten by a short half head, even though he was very inexperienced. He was a genuine Group 1 horse and we felt he was the best 2YO we had that season.” Zululand’s progeny are showing plenty of promise and we are getting great reports from trainers who have them in their stables. Grenville Stud are very excited by what his progeny have done to date from very limited runners.
His 2YO’s have all shown ability and include the promising Lieutenant Lewis, Zufasta, Amabutho, Muscle Man and Perisseuo. Zululand’s progeny have been hitting the line very well and look like they will develop into lovely 3YO’s.
