With a Timeform rating of 122, G1 Golden Slipper winner and Champion 2YO elect Farnan is currently rated 5 pounds higher than the next highest-rated 2YO in Australia.

Tallow, the dam of Summer Surf and Farnan, is IF to exciting first season sire The Autumn Sun.

The likes of this season’s top-class Australian performers King’s Legacy, Bivouac, Yes Yes Yes, Away Game, Castelvecchio, Microphone etc. are all out of mares by American-bred stallions.

IF to world-class sprinter Brave Smash, who retired with a Timeform rating of 124 having won the G1 Manikato and the G1 Futurity Stakes, as well as placing in a further 4 G1 races and the inaugural running of The Everest.

“To be a half to the champion two-year-old elect and the G1 Golden Slipper winner is a rare claim and it is pretty special as far as pedigree updates go. She’s in foal to a very capable, fast, talented young sprinter in Brave Smash. It’s a solid pedigree, there’s a lot to like about her as well and these are the sort of mares with profiles to significantly enhance anybody’s breeding portfolio.” - Scott Irwin, Rothwell Park
