By Castelvecchio, this colt comes from a sire who is building real momentum. From his first crop, he has already produced 47 winners from 73 runners, along with 6 stakes winners and 12 stakes performers, headed by the Group 1 winners Aeliana and El Castello. He has also had strong support in the ring, and his rise through the Australian sire ranks has come quickly.

The mare gives this colt a serious international edge. He is out of Edgy Style, a daughter of Harbinger, and she has already produced Urban Chic, a Group 1 winner in Japan. The family is deep and very current as well. Edgy Style is a sister to Roca, the dam of Regaleira, and a half-sister to Bloukrans, the dam of Stellenbosch, so there is top-level performance running right through the page.

It is a pedigree that makes plenty of sense. Castelvecchio brings rising Australian sire power, while the dam side adds proven Japanese and European quality with real depth behind it. He is a sharp, racey colt with plenty of natural quality, and he looks the type who can make an early impression before really coming into his own as a three year old.
