A 'Knock Out' for Raging Bull
Date: 4 Sep 2024
Raging Bull was potentially one of the best horses ever to enter the Cran Dalgety barn but sadly he never realised his true potential, being limited to just 10 starts and winning half of them.
At stud in NZ, he suffered the same fate as many colonial breds with commercial breeders staying away and his quality of mares being questioned. His largest ever crop in NZ numbered 48 (20/21 season) and not long after he was sent over the Tasman for greater opportunities.
In the upcoming season, Llowalong Farm, Australia, is advertising their son of Christian Cullen as the best value out there on the market available to breeders.
Over 50 starters in Australasia have won nearly $2M in stakes, averaging $33k per starter, with Wild West ($600k), Our Bare Knuckle & Princess Holly (both $100k+ performers) being standout performers for their sire.
Recently, he sired a very impressive 2yo debutante called Knock Out (from a Falcon Seelster mare) who won in 1:54.3 over 1740m. Knock Out has continued his impressive form having three wins from five starts, with the most recent win at Wagga on August 31.
