In 2012 he won the
2yo triple Crown
and became
the top-rated juvenile since 1977.
In 2013 he was a
world champion 3yo sprinter
and
was dominant in both the
Gr.1 Canterbury
and
Gr.1 George ryder Stakes
.
Now, as the table shows, he’s proving his worth as
a sire and there’s a lot to look forward to for the
new season too.

“Pierro was the most exciting colt i have ever trained.
it was a sad day when he departed the stable to stand
at stud but seeing his sons and daughters do brilliant
things on the track is giving me such a thrill.
Adrian and i have a number of his offspring that we
have very high hopes for through the remainder of
this season and into their three-year-old season.”
