Conformation

SIR PERCY  the sire of 11 individual winners in his first season at stud in the Northern Hemisphere including the listed winner Coquet and stakes placegetters Percy Jackson, Alla Speranza and Salford Art who ran 4th in the Group 1 filies mile at Newmarket.

An outstanding 2YO remaining unbeaten after winning four races from four starts including the G2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood and the G1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket defeating G1 winners HORATIO NELSON, PALACE EPISODE and RED CLUBS. Trained in England by Marcus Tregoning, SIR PERCY was the highest rated English 2YO in 2005 and ended the season with a timeform rating of 122.

In his first start back as a 3YO he finished second in the G1 English 2000 Guineas to World Champion Miler GEORGE WASHINGTON. SIR PERCY retained his champion rating after a brilliant win in the G1 Derby at Epsom defeating triple G1 winner DYLAN THOMAS. To  put his race performances into perspective, in the past 40 years only six horses have won the Dewhurst Stakes-Derby double and among these are champion racehorses and breed shaping sires MILL REEF and NIJINSKY.

Rich Hill Stud principal John Thompson has no doubt SIR PERCY has the right credentials to succeed at stud in Australasia.

“ SIR PERCY was an early 2YO winning a 1200m maiden in May. He trained on to win two of the world’s most respected G1 races the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket and the Epsom Derby. He had a tremendous turn of foot and he acted on good to firm ground.”
