This Alabama Express colt boasts a powerful physique with plenty of strength. He tracks up strongly, using his hindquarters to grip the track while covering ground with a massive, fluid stride. His physical presence is backed by a “Masterclass” in pedigree mapping – featuring the same Alabama Express x Street Cry cross that produced four-time Group 1 winner Treasurethe Moment and further enhanced by a double cross of the legendary matriarch Dancing Show.

About the Trainer

We’re proud to announce our new partnership with Archie Alexander. Based in Ballarat and with deep British roots, Archie is renowned for his meticulous training methods, integrity, and consistent success at the Stakes level. With a strong rapport already established with the Rising Sun Syndicate team, owners can rest assured their horse is in the best possible hands.

Sire: Alabama Express

Despite a brief eight-start career, Alabama Express proved his elite class by winning four races, culminating in the Group 1 C.F. Orr Stakes.

As a direct son of the legendary Redoute’s Choice, he carries the dominant Danehill line of Australian racing. He has quickly become one of the most exciting young sires in the country, having already produced the sensational four-time Group 1 winner Treasurethe Moment (including the VRC Oaks) from his first crop.

Dam: Shamar (by Street Cry)

A high-quality performer on the track, Shamar was a two-time winner from 1100m to 1400m. She was consistently competitive in the Victorian Metropolitan company. Her full sister, Silent Diva, has already shown early promise by winning as a two-year-old.

The true allure of this pedigree lies in the damline—the iconic Dancing Show family, arguably the most influential in Australasia. This line has produced top-line sires such as Redoute’s Choice, Umatilla, Hurricane Sky, Manhattan Rain, and Al Maher. Most recently, the 2024 Golden Slipper winner Manaal also hails from this family, cementing its status as a source of elite, precocious speed.

Nicks

This colt’s pedigree is a blueprint for success. The Alabama Express / Street Cry cross is already proven at the highest level. Treasurethe Moment is one of the country’s leading Older Horses. She’s won four Group 1 races and counting.

By breeding Alabama Express back to this damline, we have secured a powerful Dancing Show cross. This mating mirrors that of Golden Slipper winner Manaal. While Manaal is by Snitzel (another son of Redoute’s Choice) out of an Encosta De Lago mare, this colt features Encosta De Lago as his granddam’s sire, creating a remarkably similar and potent genetic profile.

The Colt

With his August birth date, this colt displays exceptional muscle development and maturity, meaning he is ready to begin his education immediately.

He possesses undeniable speed and the physical “engine” required for early success. He has the scope to be a factor in the prestigious and lucrative two-year-old Group 1 features that define the Australian racing calendar, but as Treasurethe Moment came out from the same cross, he might be able to be versatile in distance.

Furthermore, he is VOBIS Sires Eligible, offering owners access to lucrative bonus prizemoney and exclusive race series. VOBIS Sires Platinum Vouchers are also applicable for this horse.
