Castelvecchio x Roseito Colt

Simon has always been a big fan of the progeny of Castelvecchio, and this colt from Arrowfield Stud was one we kept coming back to during inspections.

Castelvecchio continues to produce horses with genuine staying ability and toughness — traits we value highly when shopping at this sale. His stock often improve with age and racing, making them very rewarding ownership prospects.

With progeny such as G1 winner Aeliana, El Castello and our own Onavuitton flying the flag, his stock are getting harder to purchase, so to secure him for $80,000 was a great result for the stable.

This colt is out of a Snitzel mare in Roseito and is a lovely, rangy individual with plenty of scope – Arrowfield liked him so much that they are staying involved in the ownership which is always a positive lead from such a respected farm.

He has a fluent walk and looks every inch a horse that will appreciate time, distance and patience. He’s exactly the sort you allow to develop with being there for the Classic races during the Spring as a 3YO and beyond.

A horse we believe will be very rewarding for his owners.
