Lot 449
:: High Chaparral (Ire) - Our Eva ::
2014 Bay colt
Colt is from the second last crop of the ill-fated champion sire who has left an indelible mark on the
breeding landscape in this part of the world (32 of his 79 stakeswinners worldwide) especially with his
10-times Gr 1 winning son So You Think, exciting stakes winning 3YO Alpine Eagle and recent Gr 3
winner Tivaci. Dam is a half-sister to Mr Innocent, the prolific stakes performer and winner of 14 races
incl. Gr 1 Doomben 10,000, and dual stakeswinner and winner of 10 races Verdict Declared, the dam of
the Gr 3 winner and triple stakes placed A Country Girl. This is also the family of super sprinter Legal
Agent – a six-times stakeswinner. (Interesting to note dam’s sire, Fusaichi Pegasus (USA), is the same
as 2016 $2million Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Capitalist, and is represented by just seven lots at
Easter as the broodmare sire).
