After consultation with Tony McEvoy and his renowned bloodstock agent Damon Gabbedy, we have secured a share in a Chestnut Bivouac colt out of a Reset mare named Star Creation, from the famous Victorian stud, Blue Gum Farm. The colt was purchased for $50,000 plus GST.
Following on from having successfully syndicated out Bivouac colt with Danielle Seib, we thought this Bivouac colt represented a great opportunity for Champion and our clients to invest into a similarly profiled colt, this one however is eligible for both VOBIS and BOBS. Given Tony’s stables allow him to travel between the states efficiently, it provides a convenient option for the stable to pick and choose the best racing options for owners to earn prizemoney.
I liked the way this colt has been mated, being bred on the same cross as SW juvenile Madeenaty. His second dam is by Galileo and the first 3 dame have been able to win at distances from 1400m to 1700m, giving this colt some scope to potentially stretch out to Guineas trip. The dam is a half sister the Gr3 winning colt over 1200m in Galaxy Pegasus. He is a late October foal so I feel the bang for your buck aspect will become evident over the next 6 months as he further matures.
Physically I really like the way he uses his hocks and pushes off his hind legs. He has strength, efficiency, and control there, which is unusual for a late October foal. His stride is long, with a fluent action and overstep. He has a good amount of size and scope, with a beautiful head and markings. He has noticeably big ears and nostrils, with a masculine jowl. Basically he has all the makings of a fine galloper at a fraction of the cost.
You have to remember that Bivouac wasn’t just a good racehorse, he was a World Champion Sprinter who could hold it up to 1400m. He is a son of Exceed and Excel out of a More Than Ready mare from the old Woodlands family of Camarilla – the female family that has produced Encryption, Guelph, Emanate, Ghibbellines and Camarena.
