Success is no stranger at Torryburn, but results over the past 12 months have really put the spotlight on a highly successful boutique breeding operation that consistently produces good horses.
Torryburn bred and sold Fastnet Rock sprinter Deploy was in hot form at the start of spring, reeling off course record breaking wins in the Group III ATC Show County Quality and then the Group II ATC Theo Marks Stakes for his owners, who also include Torryburn Stud.
Prepared by Gerald Ryan, he ended the year with earnings in excess of $700,000 and as a five year-old gelding, he no doubt has more wins in store.
Evergreen sprinter Terravista, was foaled and raised at Torryburn, and recaptured his glory days in 2017 winning the Group I VRC Lightning Stakes at the start of the year and finishing a close second in the Group I VRC Darley Classic at the end of it.
The Joe Pride trained eight year-old has won over $2.6 million in prizemoney.
Adding to their success were:
Dixie Blossoms – Won Group II ATC Guy Walter Stakes, Won Group III Angst Stakes (for the 2nd time), 3rdGroup I VRC Myer Classic
Diddums – Won Group III ATC PJ Bell Stakes
Miss Wilson – Won Group III Cuddle Stakes at Trentham and Group III Spring Sprint at Hastings
Dreams Aplenty – Won Group III BRC Gunsynd Stakes
Ball Of Muscle – Won Listed VRC Mumm Stakes – now won just under $1M prizemoney
Not to mention Hot King Prawn, a rising star in the stable of leading Hong Kong trainer John Size for whom he has now won five from five with his yearling half-brother by Your Song set to be a standout for Torryburn at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
Hot King Prawn was plucked from the Torryburn Stud Inglis Classic draft for $90,000 and is yet to taste defeat!
