Testa Rossa
Only one racing crop so far, but what a start, almost twice as many winners as Redoultes Choice when comparing first seasons, and that result even with RC's far superior broodmare band.
He is really throwing himself into his progeny, most have massive hind quarters (a trait of the great testa) which can really upgrade many mares. Already three stakewinners, Testifiable will prove to be the best of his first crop, look for him in melbourne over the next week or two (I'm still hoping he's ready for the Caulfield Guineas)
By far and away leading the Australian second season sire lists, especially with tough horses such as Testa Reale and Speedy Rossa (big run saturday), I have no doubt things will only get better from here as his broodmare quality increases.
Still cant help comparing him to RC, but RC is still really struggling past 2yo races to get a good horse (cant count those 4 horse sydney stakes races) and the melbourne form will again prove far superior this spring, and the testa's will out perform them. And price wise, $250K to 32K I know where id be going.
