FIRST YEARLINGS

Shooting To Win represents famous Group 1 family

SHOOTING TO WIN (AUS) - 2011 chestnut horse
A full-brother to Group 2-winning sprinter Deep Field, Australian-bred mile Group 1 star Shooting To Win stood one season at Kildangan Stud but covered only 35 mares, resulting in 24 foals. The Darley team member is a son of the late six-furlong Group 1 winner Northern Meteor (by Encosta De Lago) and so is a grandson of Fairy King (by Northern Dancer).
He is out of three-time winner Listen Here (by Elusive Quality), and his unraced grandam, Announce (by Military Plume), is a half-sister to Group 1 scorer Emerald Dream (by Danehill), Third dam Theme Song (by Sackford) won twice but is a half-sister to Group 1 star Danewin (by Danehill) and pattern-winning sprinter Commands (by Danehill), both of whom excelled as stallions.

This means that the fourth dam of Shooting To Win is Cotehele House (by My Swanee), and unraced daughter of phenomenal broodmare Eight Carat (by Pieces Of Eight). The half-sister to European Group 1 sprint star Habibti (by Habitat) produced a record five Group 1 winners at stud, including multimillionaire and leading sire Octagonal (by Zabeel).

With family connections like these, it will be a surprise if Shooting To Win fails to get some Group 1 performers in the southern hemisphere. How his small European crop fares will be interesting, but likely less notable. That said, it would be no surprise to see at least one or two of them do well here.

SHOOTING TO WIN (AUS) - ch.2011 - Northern Meteor - Listen Here, 4 wins inc Caulfield Guineas (Gr1), Stan Fox Stakes (Gr2), 2nd Ming Dynasty Quality (Gr3), 3rd Randwick Guineas (Gr1), Golden Rose Stakes (Gr1). Sire in Ireland & Australia. First northern hemisphere foals in 2017.
