Proisir/Ruqqaya '24
Price:$600,000
Colt | NZB Karaka Yearling Sale 2026 - LOT 94
This colt is by Proisir, the reigning Champion New Zealand Sire whose meteoric rise has been defined by his ability to produce elite, multi-million dollar earners like Prowess and Legarto. The Waterhouse/Bott stable has seen firsthand the tenacity and class of the sire's progeny, and this individual was a real standout for the team. He is a half-brother to the dual Group 1 winner and successful sire Grunt, winner of the Australian Guineas and Makybe Diva Stakes, as well as the Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Zayydani. Out of the Van Nistelrooy mare Ruqqaya, he comes from the same family as NZ Horse Of The Year, Ocean Park.He is a big, rangy, and commanding colt with a huge overstep and a purposeful walk. He possesses great scope and a deep girth, giving the impression he will develop into a top-tier three-year-old capable of reaching the highest level over a variety of distances. Offered through the Trelawney Stud draft, New Zealand's longest-established commercial thoroughbred farm with a storied history of producing champions like Ocean Park and Granny Smith, he shapes as a blue-chip prospect with genuine stallion potential and a pedigree that is among the finest in the book.
