SHARP, ATHLETIC COLT BY EMERGING SIRE ARTORIUS - 45% SOLD

Lot 606 Artorius / Newsreader | Bay Colt | Foaled 5 August 2024 | $187,000

This colt is by one of the most exciting young stallions in the country in Artorius — a dual Group 1 winner whose career combined raw speed, toughness and elite international performance. A winner of the Blue Diamond Stakes as a two-year-old and later a Group 1 sprinter-miler in Europe, Artorius has shown he can produce horses with early speed and the scope to train on.

Importantly, his first crops are already making their mark, and this colt represents an opportunity to buy into the front end of a sire on a serious upward trajectory.

The dam, Newsreader, was a two-year-old winner herself . She is a daughter of Press Statement, adding further two-year-old speed and commercial appeal into the pedigree.

This colt comes from a deep, active female family stacked with winners and black-type performers. The second dam, Thinking of You, was a multiple winner and has produced four winners from five runners, including Zoubolt and Imagination, while the family traces back to high-class performers such as Spurred On, Theatre, Live Theatre and Kisses of Gold. This is a family that consistently throws sound, competitive racehorses that get up and run.

Physically, this colt is exactly what you want in a forward, athletic type — strong behind, good bone, and a fluent action. He looks every bit a horse that can be up and going early, with the strength to keep improving with time.

In short, this is a sharp, well-balanced colt by an elite Group 1 sprinter-miler, out of a proven producing mare, from a family that knows how to win. He profiles as the type to be aimed at quality two-year-old races, with genuine upside beyond his juvenile season.

A proper racehorse’s pedigree, with commercial appeal and real racetrack substance behind it.
