About the horse

The prodigy's first offspring!

Both his sire and his maternal grandsire have won the Prix d’Amérique, and his dam, Virunga, competed at the top level! He comes from an incredibly strong maternal line that produces top-class horses in every generation.

Virunga was a tremendous talent for Svante Båth, making her debut with a victory in August as a two-year-old in 1:17.3 over 2,140 meters! She won the Oaks rematch as a three-year-old and also finished fourth in the Breeders’ Crown that same year. Virunga’s dam trotted 1:11.6 and earned over a million. Her granddam, Jungle Queen, claimed twelve victories and was also a millionaire! She is also the dam of the millionaire Klipspringer, herself the dam of Pantholops. The female line has also produced the Hambletonian winner Duenna and the currently hot top horses in America: Next Level Stuff and Take All Comers.
