Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, Toroso was unplaced on debut in June last
year and subsequently gelded before reappearing on May 10 to finish an unlucky
third at Haweksbury.Sent out favourite for the 1500 metre maiden, he dd everything right to race up on the pace and then forged clear to win by a length and three-quarters.
A $280,000 purchase from the Rothwell Park draft, Toroso was bred by the late Don Storey and is from one of his best families.
Toroso is the third winner from smart stakes-winner Walk Alone, a half-sister to the dam of Storey’s multiple Group II winner Rain Affair, who won over $1.5 million in prizemoney.
Another bright prospect for Pierro, Toroso is one of over 50 winners this season for Pierro, who will be the Champion Australian Second Season Sire for 2017/2018.
Pierro stands at Coolmore this spring at a fee of $88,000.
