| He is coming along well with trainer, Jack Pilkington. Had a soft jumpout on the poly track. He had a nice easy experience. Looking to have a proper jumpout at Hawkesbury on the grass on the 22nd July and all going well from there he should head to a trial a fortnight from there. |
AN EYE-CATCHING INDIVIDUAL WITH STRENGTH, MOVEMENT AND ATTITUDE. READY TO TRIAL.
A sharp, well-made colt by Tassort, one of Australia’s most exciting young sires, already making an impression with his early runners. This colt is compact, balanced, and forward, with good bone, a strong shoulder, and a fluent, ground-covering walk that suggests natural athleticism.
Out of Resident, a mare from a tough, running family, this colt combines physical strength with a pedigree built on performance and durability. He presents with maturity and carries himself with confidence, showing the early signs of a colt that will handle a professional environment with ease.
The signs are all there that he’s a genuine racing type with the build and pedigree to develop into a competitive, speed colt.
Sire
TASSORT
Tassort is rapidly emerging as one of Australia’s most exciting young stallions. While he raced only twice, his brilliance was undeniable, and his early stud results suggest he is transmitting genuine class.
With a Group 1 winner already on his résumé and several stakes performers from his first crops, he is developing a reputation as a sire of fast, athletic, early-running horses with commercial appeal.
His first crops have produced:
- 🏆 Manaal – Group 1 ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes winner
- 🏆 Ameena – Group 2 Silver Slipper winner
- 🏆 Agrarian Girl – Listed Lonhro Plate winner
- 🏆 Miss Freelove – Listed Denise’s Joy Stakes winner
He finished runner-up to Too Darn Hot in the Champion First Season Sire standings, an outstanding achievement considering his modest service fee and relatively limited opportunities
Dam
RESIDENT is a young daughter of Champion Australian sire Dissident from the Stakes winning Fastnet Rock mare ROCK ROBSTER , placing her in one of Australasia’s deepest black-type families.
While lightly raced herself, Resident boasts a pedigree stacked with elite performers including ROYAL DESCENT (Gr.1 winner), ALBANY REUNION (Gr.1 winner), FAST DRAGON (Gr.1 placed), PALACE ROCK, GIANNIS, DANCE TO THE BOOM, VEZELAY and numerous other Stakes winners.
Her granddam, Chinese Whispers, has produced eight winners, while the family has consistently generated high-class racehorses over multiple generations.
With this her third foal, Resident offers enormous upside as a broodmare, and this colt combines an exciting young female family with proven black-type depth and genuine commercial appeal.
