2017 Not A Single Doubt (Redoute's Choice) x Tallow (Street Cry)
The most credentialed Champion 2YO Golden Slipper-winning colt in over a decade. Farnan was the Leading First Season Sire at Magic Millions and Inglis Easter in 2024 (among stallions with no Northern Hemisphere runners), with yearlings selling for up to $1,200,000. By sire-of-sires Not A Single Doubt, Farnan is the epitome of a precocious speed sire ... off to an absolute flyer with first crop 2YOs including Group winners North England, King of Pop, Recuperato etc ... leading Australian First Season Sire in 2024/25 by winners.
Kia Ora's stallion roster features a trio of high-class juveniles, including Champion 2YO Golden Slipper winner Farnan, G1 Champagne Stakes winner Captivant and Prague, a multiple 2YO Group winning son of Redoute's Choice.
Highlighted as a Breednet One To Watch off the back of his impressive debut win, the Michael Freedman trained 3yo Farnan gelding Ninja continued his winning form, heading to the city on Saturday to record consecutive race victories.
Last seen contesting the Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes, newly gelded three year-old Olatunde bolted in at Ballarat on Monday continuing the fast start to the new season for his sire Farnan.
Farnan sired 14 first crop winners last season to be leading first season sire by winners and his first two runners on Friday both came out and won at Kembla giving him the perfect start to a new racing year.
The Myracehorse owners that braved the cold and damp conditions at Kembla on Friday were well rewarded when their Farnan gelding Ninja trotted up to win by a widening 11 lengths!
A standout in the mounting yard on type at Randwick on Saturday, Farnan colt Nashville Jack has also been an eye-catcher at the recent trials in Sydney and he delivered on potential when resuming from a spell with a stylish win.
There’s a good battle going to decide the leading first season sire by Australian winners and with just seven days of the season to run Farnan is laying down the gauntlet to the long time division leader Ole Kirk.
