War Chant Permanent for WA

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday, 23 July 2014

Yarradale Stud’s high profile shuttler War Chant (USA) will remain in Australia on a permanent basis after Three Chimneys in the US accepted an offer for the Group I winning son of Danzig.

War Chant
A Group I Breeders Cup Mile winner, War Chant is the sire of 32 stakes-winners worldwide led by Group I winners Kingsfort and Midnight Interlude.

The first Australian bred War Chant yearlings were sold earlier this year and proved a sensation at the 2014 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale.

He provided the sale-topper when his filly from Most Secret sold for $250,000 and in total had 21 yearlings sell at an average $94,524.

17 year-old War Chant will stand at Yarradale this spring at a fee of $17,600

    ouch, what was its name?
  • DamienWyerDamienWyer    7,660 posts
    War Prodigy. He went through the 2014 Perth MM Sale as Lot 6, selling for $200,000 to Thomas Loke. The horse is trained by Bede Murray. In his one and only trial, he also finished last of seven runners. In the race on Saturday, he just never got going, and was passed by a runner who was fighting the rider and not settling.

    One would question why it was even racing (or trialled even).

    We sold a Blackfriars colt at this years sale - was very immature and needed time, yet the new owner saw fit to have it up for the first set of trials the other week.
    One look at it told that it was still very immature and needed time.
    I hope they haven't wrecked it just trying even. Some people just shouldn't have (quality) horses......

    I met someone the other day who has 2 x 2yo and said " couldnt outrun a glacier ". Then met someone else who has 1 that he says " is flying". Time will tell I guess

    I have said it before on this forum, but I would prefer that 2yo's did not race prior to Jan 1st each year.

    My point was more that if the horse is clearly not ready (as in both of the examples) then why push them.
    Impatient people should find another pastime.

    For the 1st time I have had a 2 yr old broken in - had a let up and has now gone back in. Will have its legs x-rayed at 4 weeks to see whether or not to continue on :-SS

    and that's the key..no problem with having early running 2yr olds...as long as they are early running 2 yr olds, and not running as early 2yr olds cos someone - generally an over anxious owner - wants their 2yr old running early!!!!!

    Hope she comes up for you...but I know if she doesn't ..... no dramas and she'll be back an ready in 6 months, or sometime there after.

    My 2 are still untouched they don't turn 2 until late November and most Fastnets are better as late 2yr olds early 3 yr olds so hopefully his grandkids are the same there is plenty of time.
