Pierro x Simply A Dream

We are stoked to secure this colt by the fantastic sire Pierro, one of Australia’s most reliable and versatile stallions. Pierro was an outstanding, tough racehorse himself — winning the Group 1 Golden Slipper, the ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes and the Champagne Stakes, a Triple Crown-winning juvenile! He then trained on, and finished third in the WFA Cox Plate, showcasing his toughness!

At stud, Pierro has been extremely successful. He has already sired at least six individual Group 1 winners and a strong body of stakes horses in Australia, including Pierata, Arcadia Queen, Regal Power, Levendi, Shadow Hero, and our very own Persan! 

Pierro’s progeny have shown quality across a wide range of distances, from precocious two-year-olds to classic and staying types, reflecting his own race record and pedigree. He has maintained a strong winners-to-runners strike rate and continues to produce horses capable of performing at the highest level.

This colt is out of Simply A Dream (IRE), a lightly raced mare by Camelot, bringing classic European stamina influences into the pedigree. Simply A Dream is a daughter of Mora Bai (IRE), who is a half-sister to High Chaparral (IRE) — the legendary dual Derby winner, multiple Group 1 champion and internationally influential sire. High Chaparral is from the top family that also includes Black Bear Island (Group 2 performer) and the outstanding filly Fancy Blue, a winner of the Prix de Diane and the Nassau Stakes in Europe.

In addition, Mora Bai’s progeny include David Livingston (IRE), a Group 2 winner, and Hunting Horn (IRE), who captured the Group 2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup in Australia.

This colt is a second foal, and the depth of this female line — combining classic European stamina and proven black-type performers — is exceptional, giving him a true classics’ pedigree.

Physically, this colt is very much a classic-style individual. He is a rangy colt with excellent length and scope, good reach, and a fluent, pendulum walk. He exhibits balance and rhythm, moves remarkably well for a colt of his size, and shows every sign of becoming a good middle- to long-distance racehorse.
