THE PALENTINO PRESENCE

Media Release - Thursday September 20
Talk about 'stamping'!.

Sun Stud stallion, PALENTINO was always hard to miss … an outstanding racehorse, he dominated the Flemington mile majors - winning the Group One Australian Guineas (beating eight Group One winners), the Group One Makybe Diva Stakes and the Group Two Blamey Stakes, with his explosive 'turn of foot' the key to his victories.



However, he is also a 'stand out' on type : power, presence and performance! An imposing athlete, Palentino is a stunning chestnut and he isdefinitely stamping hisprogeny withplenty of quality.


Entering stud in 2017 and standing at a fee of $17,600 inc. GST (no payment of fee until live foal), Palentino's first youngsters have just arrived and, as you can see, the acorn hasn't fallen far from the tree.
