About the horse

Talent, timing, and an exciting combination!

Hominid is brimming with talent and tenacity—his dam won her debut as a 2-year-old in 1:17 over a full distance! The cross between Maharajah and From Above has given us Who’s Who!

Virunga was a wonderful talent who made her debut with a victory in September 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. 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, who in turn sired the top horse Chiru. The female line has also produced the Hambletonian winner Duenna and last year’s Kriteriet runner-up Bengan. Other offspring.
