Phillip Stokes

Australia

The team at Stokes racing is offering an amazing opportunity to join a family of winners with this classy colt. The Sire,&nbsp;Rich Enuff is known for getting runners and operating at a high winners-to-runners strike rate.&nbsp;Rich Enuff is a&nbsp;Group 2 winner with elite speed, he is the fastest ever 3yo over the Flemington 1200m. He is a proven sire of stars, producing Group 1 Magic Million Guineas winner&nbsp;Abounding&nbsp;and multiple Stakes winners including Dosh and Siren Assault. Rich Enuff brings an International appeal, siring six individual Hong Kong winners, notably&nbsp;Wunderbar, the only horse to defeat sprint sensation Ka Ying Rising.
The Dam,&nbsp;Streetcar Express, is a half-sister to several winners, including&nbsp;Streetcar Heaven&nbsp;and&nbsp;Belle Reve. Her broader family includes stakes winners like&nbsp;Streetcar Magic&nbsp;and&nbsp;Streetcar Stranger.&nbsp;While she was a maiden mare, she has become a "Blue Hen" producer. Her daughter&nbsp;Ferivia&nbsp;has already put black type on the page, instantly increasing the residual value of this colt.
The mating of&nbsp;Rich Enuff with his speed and physique over a&nbsp;Not A Single Doubt&nbsp;mare (Streetcar Express) is bred for one thing: early, explosive 2yo speed.
With Phillip racing half-sister,&nbsp;Ferivia&nbsp;(by Astern), whom he guided to victories in the&nbsp;Group 3 Quezette Stakes&nbsp;and Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude, the pedigree is live. Every time she wins, this colt's value increases.
And with the colt eligible for the lucrative VOBIS bonuses in Victoria, he is a fantastic investment.

A FAMILY THAT PHILLIP STOKES HAS MADE

For Sale

The team at Stokes Racing is ecstatic to have secured the half-sister to Snow Mercy at the Inglis Premier sale.
Sired by&nbsp;Grunt, a dual Group 1 winner of the&nbsp;Australian Guineas&nbsp;and&nbsp;Makybe Diva Stakes, he is recognized as the first Australian stallion in over a decade to sire a WFA Group 1-winning 3yo from his first crop, Veight.
Grunt imparts size, scope, and a devastating turn of foot at the mile and he is showing plenty of versatility, having produced Group 1 VRC Oaks winner, Strictly Business.
The dam,&nbsp;Snow Surrender&nbsp;(by Sepoy), is a half-sister to the Listed winner&nbsp;Adelong. She has a consistent track record of producing winners and high-value progeny including Snow Mercy.
She hails from an elite family featuring Stakes winners Snowland, Portillo, Ghisoni and Snippetson.
This filly is bred based on a Golden Cross of&nbsp;Grunt x Sepoy, a specific genetic compatibility that boasts a&nbsp;100% Winners-to-Runners'&nbsp;strike rate. This mating is designed to inject the raw, sprinting muscle of Golden Slipper winner Sepoy, into the frame of Australian Guineas winner Grunt, creating an athlete capable of sustaining high cruising speeds.
The value of this filly is underpinned by her half-sister,&nbsp;our own Snow Mercy. With a Group 3 winner already on the page, the residual broodmare value of this filly is significantly protected, regardless of her racetrack performance. Phillip and the team cannot wait to take this filly under their wings.
&nbsp;

THE GOLDEN CROSS - POWER & SPEED

Grunt / Snow Surrender Filly '24

Out of the The Widden Brand draft, renowned for their world-class raising standards, this is the safest bet you can make.
This filly is by&nbsp;Jacquinot, a high-class son of Rubick who won the&nbsp;Golden Rose&nbsp;and&nbsp;C.F. Orr Stakes defeating stars like In Secret and Mr Brightside. Jacquinot's profile as a precocious Group 1-winning 2yo and 3yo suggests his progeny will suit early&nbsp;Australian racing.
The dam,&nbsp;Thrill (NZ)&nbsp;(by Flying Spur), has already shown her ability to produce competitive stock. She has produced 6 foals with 5 of them being winners, including our own the 3-year-old filly&nbsp;La Roux.
La Roux was absolutely poleaxed down the Flemington straight at her last start, she is being aimed at black type races and with a bit of luck this filly will have an immediate pedigree update.
This mating utilizes the proven&nbsp;Encosta De Lago x Danehill&nbsp;nick, which has produced numerous champions in Australasia. This filly is a sharp individual with Jacquinot noted for his&nbsp;tenacity and turn of foot, while&nbsp;Thrill provides the&nbsp;scope and class&nbsp;of the New Zealand filly lines.
At this price, this filly represents an accessible entry point into a first-season sire with significant upside compared to higher-priced lots. Phillip and Tommy&nbsp;love her physical conformation and athleticism.

TREMENDOUS VALUE AT THE PRICE POINT

Jacquinot / Thrill Filly '24

The team at Stokes Racing were fortunate to secure this colt from Newgate whose&nbsp;breeding record is defined by high-performance value sires and elite Group 1 producers. 
Purchased for just $50,000 as a weanling, this colt has more than tripled his value with his immense physical development and sale ring presence. Described as a standout individual this colt is a typical top early-running prospect. He has inherited the&nbsp;Deep Field athleticism: a large, reaching walk and a muscular, balanced frame.
By Cosmic Force, the record-breaking son of Deep Field has quickly established himself as a high-strike-rate sire, boasting a&nbsp;4.8% stakes-winner-to-runner ratio. He has sired&nbsp;37 individual winners,&nbsp;with stars like&nbsp;Give Me Space (G3)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Stay Focused, a horse that Phillip has nurtured to stakes success in the Nitschke.
He is proving to be a highly versatile sire, capable of producing both sharp sprinters and progressive three-year-olds.
As a grandson of Deep Field (4-time Champion Sire in Hong Kong), this colt possesses the commercial appeal and speed profile highly sought after for both Australian and Asian racing markets.
Out of a Choisir mare,&nbsp;Jester Jewel is a proven producer of precocious talent. She is already the dam of Listed Without Fear Stakes winner 2yo&nbsp;Pure Aqua, who recently sold for $140,000 at the&nbsp;Inglis Chairman's Sale.
This cross is a masterclass in&nbsp;precocious Australian speed, designed specifically to produce an early-running two-year-old. By blending the brilliance of the&nbsp;Deep Field&nbsp;line with the toughness of&nbsp;Choisir, this colt carries a pedigree optimized for the Golden Slipper profile.
Phillip is quietly confident that he holds the blueprint for success with the Cosmic Force&rsquo;s progeny.

WHERE ELITE SPEED MEETS PEDIGREE

Cosmic Force / Jester Jewel Colt '24

The team at Stokes Racing presents an exceptional value filly by a stallion on fire. 
By Alabama Express&rsquo; whose first two crops produced 16.2% stakes horses to runners (more than triple the industry average). The same sire whose yearlings just averaged $300,789 at Magic Millions, with fillies making $340,000-$370,000.
&nbsp;
<p style="margin: 0cm; background: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;">This filly gives you classic staying power and broodmare dynasty potential. She comes from one of the most powerful and proven female families in Australasian breeding history.
&nbsp;
<p style="margin: 0cm; background: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;">She descends from the legendary Locket family, arguably the most commercially desirable female family in New Zealand. This isn't black-type three generations back. This is a family that has produced champions in every decade for fifty years: Grosvenor, Lonhro, Lankan Rupee &amp; Tavago.
<p style="margin: 0cm; background: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;" aria-hidden="true">&nbsp;&nbsp;
Her dam, Sweet Anna, is a&nbsp;full sister to Tavago. Both Sweet Anna and Tavago are by Tavistock out of Sara Ann. Tavago won the Group 1 Australian Derby. Sweet Anna, while less decorated on the track, comes from the exact same genetic pairing that produced a classic Derby winner. Sweet Anna represents the elite tier, purchased at a premium, raced at black-type level, full sister to a Group 1 Derby winner, from the family that continues to produce stakes horses in Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong.
<p style="margin: 0cm; background: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;
The cross of Redoute's Choice line stallions over Tavistock mares has an excellent strike rate in Australasia. What makes this particularly compelling is the proven female family underneath, Sara Ann's record as a producer is exceptional.
<p style="margin: 0cm; background: white; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;" aria-hidden="true">&nbsp;

This is a filly built for the races where reputations are made, the Derby and Oaks trials where stallion careers are launched and broodmare values are cemented. We see an optimal range: 1600m-2000m, with genuine 3yo classic potential.
&nbsp;
With her residual value in mind, if she hits black-type and the genetics suggest she can, her residual broodmare value sits at $300,000-$600,000+. The Locket family commands premiums at every sale. Sweet Anna made NZ$452,500 as a raced filly. Her daughters will make more if they perform. Even moderate racing success,&nbsp;Listed level&nbsp;and&nbsp;City wins,&nbsp;leaves you with a producing asset worth $150,000-$300,000. The family is that commercial.
&nbsp;

You're looking at $1-2 million broodmare value + earnings.

She is also the dam of the multiple-winning filly&nbsp;Kinetic Jewel&nbsp;(by Rubick).&nbsp;Euro Chic brings the precocity needed for Australian racing.
With this pairing we have a Classic contender capable of excelling in both mile and staying events descending from a high-quality international female family.&nbsp;This colt carries the physical strength and deep hip power that has seen the bloodline dominate globally.
&nbsp;
At a very affordable price, this is a unique opportunity to get on the &lsquo;Hitotsu train&rsquo; before it leaves the station.

Fresh out of the Karaka sales that has produced multiple Gr.1&nbsp;winners and champion racehorses such as, So You Think, Probabeel, Melody Belle, Ceolwulf, Legarto and Sword of State. We present an athletic and elegant Colt with the scope to peak as a three-year-old in a&nbsp;Guineas or Derby. The Sire, Profondo via Deep Impact&nbsp;merges breathtaking scope and turn-of-foot with the reliable Black Type speed of a&nbsp;Darci Brahma&nbsp;mare. With a pedigree saturated in Gr.1 success, this is a prospect designed for the big stage.&nbsp; Profondo, a $1.9 million Magic Millions sale-topper lived up to the hype, winning the&nbsp;Gr.1 Spring Champion Stakes&nbsp;at just his third career start. He provides the elite "twitch" and explosive speed required to win tactical races. The Dam,&nbsp;Deedee Panache is a&nbsp;stakes-placed performer&nbsp;on the track, finishing 3rd in the&nbsp;Listed NZB Insurance Inglewood Stakes. She is sired by the multiple Gr.1 winner and prolific sire&nbsp;Darci Brahma, bringing essential New Zealand toughness and miler speed to the pedigree.
