Un-named (Rebel Dane – Lucky Juniper)

Rebel Dane was the leading sire of 2yos 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.
