With an extraordinary pedigree and good looks, King’s Legacy was an obvious choice when James Harron went shopping for a stallion prospect at the yearling sales.<\/p>\n
Buying on behalf of a colts partnership, Harron had to stretch to $1.4 million to secure the close relation to top stallion Not A Single Doubt.<\/p>\n
The youngster fit Harron’s strict criteria – he had athleticism and bloodlines to match – but the bloodstock manager wasn’t the only one keen to secure him.<\/p>\n
“We’re looking first and foremost for physically good looking colts that we feel can run, because they’ve got to be able to run to be stallions,” Harron said.<\/p>\n
“The second part of that is pedigree and being a Redoute’s Choice and a three-quarter brother to Not A Single Doubt, he was a bit of a dream package.<\/p>\n
“We had to be very strong on him in the ring but he was the one we wanted to take home and fortunately it has turned out the right way.”<\/p>\n
King’s Legacy has already secured his future at stud with Coolmore purchasing a stake after his first Group One win in the Sires’ Produce Stakes.<\/p>
