Contents

Background

Shinzo was foaled and raised at Coolmore and is by dual Group 1 winning mare Samaready. Samaready was bought by Coolmore in 2020 for $1.8million at the Inglis Chairman's Sale when she was carrying Shinzo in utero. [2]


Racing career

Shinzo made his race debut on 25 January 2023 in the Canonbury Stakes when finishing in third position. [3]

After finishing second at his next start in the Skyline Stakes, Shinzo then won the Pago Pago Stakes with jockey James McDonald on board. This victory assured the horse a start in the Golden Slipper just seven days later. [4]

On 18 March 2023, Shinzo started at odds of $16/1 in the Golden Slipper at Rosehill. Ridden by Ryan Moore, Shinzo settled midfield in the run before getting a rails run to win by 1¼ lengths. The victory was trainer Chris Waller's first win in the race. It also gave Waller the final leg of Australian racing's “Grand-Slam” having won the big 4 races; the Melbourne Cup, the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and the Golden Slipper. [5]

He was from the fifth crop of the champion racehorse and stallion Lonhro out of the dam Miss Rite Note (IRE)(by Daylami). Pierro had a short racing career, racing in just two seasons and retiring to stud as a three-year-old. He ran in a total of 14 races, with 11 wins and 3 placings, including 5 Group 1 wins. His distances ranged from 1200m to 2040m. He was bred at Musk Creek Farm and sold for $230,000 in the Magic Millions sale. He was an unbeaten Triple Crown winner at 2 years, and a dual Group 1 winner at 3 years, earning him the title of both the highest rated Australian juvenile since 1977, and the highest rated 3yo sprinter in the world in 2013. He is now retired to stud at Coolmore, in Jerrys Plains of NSW, where he was purchased for $40 million. This has proved to be a very worthwhile investment for Coolmore thus far, as has had an illustrious career as a stallion to date, including four Group 1 winning progeny. He has had progeny sell for up to $1.1 million, highlighting the promising nature of his progeny for the years to come. His stud fee of $88,000 reflects his high quality characteristics on sale to any buyer who has a worthwhile mare and can afford the fee.
