Too Darn Hot x Portrait of a Lady
How ownership works
Racehorse ownership is typically structured through shared ownership, where individuals or groups own a percentage of a horse. This allows you to be involved at a level that suits you.
What is ownership?
Racehorse ownership means owning a share in a horse that is trained, cared for and campaigned by CMR. You become part of the team behind that horse - sharing in the experience, the wins, the journey, and the story as it unfolds. Ownership connects you directly to the sport, from training track to race day.
Who is it for?
Ownership is for anyone who loves racing and wants to experience it from the inside.
That might be:
- First-time owners curious about getting involved
- Existing owners expanding their portfolio
- Friends, families or business groups
- Corporate and hospitality groups
You can own a small share or a larger percentage, whatever suits your goals and level of involvement.
How does it work?
The process is simple and guided by our team:
- We match you with an ownership opportunity that suits your goals
- Your share is set up and registered
- Your horse enters training with CMR
- You receive regular updates, insights, media and invitations to race days and events
Throughout the journey, our team supports you with clear communication, expert advice, and industry-leading owner experiences.
Pricing and availability are discussed privately to ensure suitability.
Why we Like this Horse
This colt stood out as a high-quality individual from the moment we inspected him. He combines scope, athleticism and class, with the physical attributes we consistently look for when selecting future racing prospects.
He is by Too Darn Hot, one of the most exciting young sires in the world. Too Darn Hot has made a phenomenal start at stud, producing nearly 60% winners to runners, along with 33 stakes winners and 19 Group 1 winners globally. His progeny have demonstrated remarkable versatility, producing elite performers from sprint distances through to the classic trips.
His influence is already being felt at the highest level both in Australia and internationally, with stars such as Broadsiding, Tropicus, Hotazhell and Rivellino continuing to enhance his reputation. We have also enjoyed success with the sire's progeny through performers including Perspiration and Group 1 ATC Derby placegetter Shanwah, giving us confidence in both the breed and their development.
His dam, Portrait Of A Lady, is a proven producer whose family continues to deliver at the highest level. She is the dam of eight winners, including Group 1 Queensland Derby winner Kukeracha and Group 3 winner Cameo. The pedigree has received a further boost through the emergence of a recent Group 1-winning three-quarter brother in Dubai, highlighting the depth and current strength of the family.
Physically, this colt is everything we hoped to find. He is a strong, well-balanced individual with correct limbs, good length of rein and an outstanding walk. His athleticism, movement and overall quality align closely with the profile of many of Too Darn Hot's best performers.
With a world-class young sire, an elite-producing dam and a pedigree that continues to improve, this colt presents as an exciting prospect with all the ingredients to develop into a high-class racehorse.
Training & Development
This colt is by Too Darn Hot, one of the most exciting young stallions in world racing. A Champion Two-Year-Old and multiple Group 1 winner on the track, Too Darn Hot has translated his exceptional racing ability directly to the breeding barn. He has already produced nearly 60% winners to runners, along with 33 stakes winners and 19 Group 1 winners globally, an extraordinary record for a stallion so early in his career.
His progeny have excelled across a variety of distances and jurisdictions, demonstrating both speed and stamina. In Australia and internationally, performers such as Broadsiding, Tropicus, Hotazhell and Rivellino have showcased the versatility and class that are becoming hallmarks of the sire line.
The dam, Portrait Of A Lady, is a proven producer whose record speaks for itself. She has produced eight individual winners, headed by Group 1 Queensland Derby winner Kukeracha and Group 3 winner Cameo. Producing multiple stakes winners is a significant achievement for any broodmare and provides strong confidence in the consistency and reliability of the family.
The pedigree continues to strengthen through current performers. A recent Group 1-winning three-quarter brother in Dubai has added further black-type depth to the page, reinforcing the family's ability to produce elite-level performers across different racing jurisdictions. This is an active pedigree that continues to improve, an important factor when assessing both racing and residual value.
From a pedigree perspective, this colt combines one of the world's leading young stallions with a mare that has already produced elite performers. The cross brings together proven class, durability and a strong record of producing horses capable of succeeding at the highest level.
Physically, he complements his pedigree perfectly. He is a strong, well-balanced colt with correct conformation, good length of rein and an outstanding walk. His scope and athleticism suggest he has the tools to continue developing with maturity, while retaining the quality and movement that are so often associated with the best progeny of Too Darn Hot.
