A horse for the big racing carnivals
Picture it: a Group race day in Melbourne or Sydney, the mounting yard full, and your horse Pierre Royal is lining up in a big race. That is the day we bought Pierre Royal for.
He is a fast horse with an impeccable record at a high level in England and Ireland. His Timeform rating of 104 gives him the status/ equivalance of a Gr.2 winner in Australia, and we feel he has the perfect profile to be running in rich races from 1600m to 2000m.
He will be trained by the Ciaron Maher Team, and managed by Astute Bloodstock.
Why Pierre Royal? One horse out of 300
Leading to the sales, we've studied the form of over 300 horses in training in Europe. He was the one horse that stood out to us on paper, and we liked him even more once I saw him in the flesh. We were not going anywhere without him!
We also like the fact that he was racing without any gear: no cross noseband, no blinkers. He has a great will to win, and he's a strong finisher.
The profile
Pedigree
Bred in the purple, he is by one of the best stallions in Europe, Kingman, out of a double stakes-winning Dubawi mare, and the granddam was a champion.
Form
Timeform rating of 104, which gives him a Gr2-level status in Australia
Very lightly raced, given he's a 4-year-old with only 10 starts for 3 wins and 3 placings.
Last start winner of a big $400k handicap over 1800m, defeating a field of 27 horses in Newmarket, the mecca of thoroughbreds.
Won two big races this year: one in Ireland, one in England. Both on fast ground.
Won his maiden at his second start in devastating fashion.
Physique
A magnificent big horse with a lot of size, scope, strength, and a huge girth. He moves effortlessly. He's got a phenomenal action, a kind nature, and he likes firm ground, which is a very good sign of soundness, and it's ideal for Australia.
Distance range
He's won over a mile twice and over 1800m once. We feel he's got the perfect profile to stretch up to 2000m in Australia.
