Farnan (AUS)

2017 Not A Single Doubt (Redoute's Choice) x Tallow (Street Cry)
Kia Ora Stallions

The most credentialed Champion 2YO Golden Slipper-winning colt in over a decade. Farnan was the Leading First Season Sire at Magic Millions and Inglis Easter in 2024 (among stallions with no Northern Hemisphere runners), with yearlings selling for up to $1,200,000. By sire-of-sires Not A Single Doubt, Farnan is the epitome of a precocious speed sire.
