Justify

Think Bolt d, Oro had 1 season in Vic ?  Only noticed him as there are 2 decent ones by him in Tas, one of which won on Lonny Cup day. 

This was posted by Brudder a while back.  Bolt d'Oro's one crop has gone okay here from limited opportunity.  There was a rumor he didn't continue to shuttle because he was a really savage bugger. 

Interesting who the runner up,  now winner,  is.

Getting top class 2yos all over the world but was the first Kentucky Derby winner since 1882 who didn't race at 2.

No stallion has ever been supported or marketed to the degree Justify was when he shuttled to Australia for the first time a year after his blistering racetrack career in America, and the early signs from his first Southern Hemisphere-bred crop have been more than encouraging.

The sire of eight individual first crop winners from 21 runners, Justify's first crop progeny is headed by Reisling Stakes (G2) winner Learning To Fly, SAJC Sires' Produce Stakes (G3) winner Air Assault, and Anzac Day Stakes scorer Legacies.

He was spared a season Down Under in 2022, but Coolmore has been steeled by his Australian success, to go with his 12 stakes winners in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Magnier family and company have vowed to back Justify to the hilt again in 2023 and beyond.

"It's well-documented that Coolmore supported Justify with the very best of mares in his first season and that's resulted in him becoming champion first season sire by a clear margin," Coolmore Australia's Tom Moore told ANZ Bloodstock News.

"What we've seen of Justify, not only in Australia but also in the Northern Hemisphere, has indicated that he is an extremely versatile and high-class stallion.

"He has produced group winners at a range of distances and he has the highest-rated 2-year-old in Europe at the moment in City of Troy who looks like being one out of the box.
