A real machine for making winners, the Bouquetot Toronado stallion trusts the top of the rankings and achieved another feat this Sunday. Its products have won 6 races in 3 different countries and continents. This allows him to reach 100 victories in the southern hemisphere as well as in the north over the current year.
2020, the year of Toronado!
In many ways, 2020 has been a very special year for the stallion Toronado. Already, he is one of the few stationed in France whose name appeared in the winner’s column during the first confinement and the total stoppage of European races, because only a small band of die-hards resisted … His production of the southern hemisphere has indeed continued to strike, especially in Australia, where it made the double season to Swettenham Stud in Adam Sangster, son of the legendary breeder / owner Robert Sangster (cf: Sadler’s Wells, Carnegie, Balanchine, Caerlon …). 2020 was also the year of the first groups, acquired around the world, in Australia with Affair To Remember, but especially in England with Tactical, winner of the July Stakes (Gr.2) and a listed at Royal Ascot under the colors of Queen Elizabeth II … a success that marks!
Master Montaro signed the best victory of the superb Sunday of Toronado while remaining undefeated in Hong Kong
In short, Toronado appears in all of our rankings, except for the obstacle course. It is in the register of the number of victories of its production that it is particularly illustrated, following the phenomenon Siyouni for the title. Thus, the offspring of Toronado won in 2020 more than 200 races, and especially more than 100 in both hemispheres. This Sunday, he left his mark again with no less than 6 winners around the globe! He started with a hat-trick at Cranbourne racecourse in Australia, and another victory in Wallabies country at Bendigo. A small passage through Italy to win in the afternoon, and end a fantastic day, which also saw his son Master Mountain Range winning the opening race of Sha Tin’s big reunion … This horse, who was undefeated in Australia, the rest with a first in Hong Kong.
It is not surprising to see Toronado make his production want to win, since the son ofHigh Chaparral himself won 6 of his 12 outings, from 2 to 4 years old. His international success at Stud is impressive, especially as his first offspring are only 4 years old. The breeders, well inspired, sent him nearly 100 mares in 2019, and he will stay at the price of € 8,000 in Bouquetot, which makes him one of the best quality / price ratios of the top ranking of French stallions!
