Rebel Dane was the leading sire of 2yo’s in Australia in 2021-2022, headlined by the Group 1 Golden Slipper and Sires Produce winner FIREBURN.

From his limited career at stud, Rebel Dane has produced 29 winners from just 51 runners. His progeny have sold up to $220k. Already having two Rebel Danes on the books with Grand Syndicates in the Eastern States, we know how well the progeny of this stallion go, and we really like the two we already have, so it made great sense to have a close look at this colt at the Perth sales.  A winner of the Group 1 Manikato Stakes, Rebel Dane has already thrown a Golden Slipper winner in FIREBURN amongst the 28 individual winners he’s had from just 48 to run. His progeny generally look like early running types, and this colt presented in terrific order at the sales attracting us not only with his good size and conformation, but was one of the few horses we saw at the sale that had a bit of ‘swagger’ about him, meaning a great walk, a great head carriage and plenty of presence about him!

He’s the first foal of a Zoustar mare who’s a half sister to the Group 2 winner BLUEBERRY HILL (4 wins-3 as a two year old), and he’s an August foal too, so he gives us every indication that he’ll be up and running early. For that reason, I’d suggest that he’s an ideal candidate for races such as the Magic Millions 2yo Classic, Karrakatta Plate, WA Sires Produce Stakes, etc, plus, importantly, he’s also WESTSPEED BONUS SCHEME eligible and he’s been nominated for the MAGIC MILLIONS PERTH RACE SERIES too, so he’s got plenty of bonuses to run for. He’ll be trained at Ascot by Trevor Andrews.

We inspect hundreds of horses at a yearling sale, and quite often, the one you really should buy is the one you’re still thinking about that was 20 or so horses ago. This is that horse.

Not only that, but when I got together with Ascot trainer Dan Morton before the sale commenced, I found that she was on Dan’s short list as well my own. Had we have gone head-to-head in the auction, she would have ended up at twice the price, but Dan left me to do the bidding on her, and in my opinion, at just $30,000, she was the best value buy of the day in the Book 1 session of the 2025 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale.

A Lot was an outstanding racehorse, breaking the 1400m US record on turf. His progeny includes the WATC Derby winner A LOT OF GOOD MEN, the brilliant stakes winning juvenile SIR DREAMALOT and stakes performed horses Costume Party, Odinaka, Alotofbanter, and the 9-time winner Fast Flicker etc. This filly is a half sister to Megami, whose 5 wins to date include 4 on city tracks, earning her over $256,000 to date. This filly is eligible for the WESTSPEED PLATINUM BONUS SCHEME and will be paid up for the MAGIC MILLIONS PERTH RACE SERIES too. And of course, she’ll be trained at Ascot by Dan Morton who had this to say about the progeny of the stallion: “We have some of the A Lot progeny in the stable (American Escape, Net Zero, Golden Opera) already, and they’re all doing a good job for us and their connections, so I was keen to pick up another couple this year.”

It’s fair to say that there’s probably not a more inexpensive way to find your way into Dan’s stables than this filly…

A WESTSPEED PLATINUM COLT with Pedigree, Potential, and Purpose!

By the Group 1-winning stallion Awesome Rock and out of the city-winning Showcasing mare Presentatie, this striking colt comes with credentials that demand attention. Described by his trainer as “a ripper,” he’s already turning heads at every stage of his development.

Awesome Rock was a superstar on the track, his crowning moment being his dominant win in the Group 1 Emirates Stakes at Flemington during the iconic Spring Carnival of 2016. With over $2 million in prize money, three stakes wins, and the title of Australia’s highest-earning son of Fastnet Rock, his racing achievements were remarkable. Now standing at stud in Western Australia, Awesome Rock has proven his worth as a sire with classy progeny, including:

• Searchin’ Rocks: Champion sprinter with six stakes wins.
• Awesome John: Group 2 WA Derby winner.
• Own The Queen: Triple stakes-winning filly and WA Oaks winner.
• Plus, more stakes winners like Red Sun Sation and Rokanori, alongside 57+ individual winners to date from less than 100 to race!

This colt’s dam, Presentatie, was a four-time winner across New Zealand and Western Australia and hails from a family with plenty of stakes success as you can see from her pedigree page.

Presented at the 2024 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale by myself, Peter Morley as the breeder, he was bought back under the Belhus Racing Stables banner to syndicate and race. Since then, he’s been broken in, spelled and educated with a view to getting him to his first official trial in July.

He’s being trained at Bullsbrook by Stephanie Bakranich, one of WA’s most respected boutique trainers. With a team not exceeding 20 in number, Stephanie’s hands-on approach, excellent strike rate and friendly nature has gained her the respect of everyone in the racing industry, and I can guarantee you’ll love being part of her team.

A 5% share in this syndicate is $4,400 and includes all expenses associated with the horse through to the end of June 2025.

Don’t miss the opportunity to join this exciting journey with a very promising young horse…
