Horse Overview

Buying progeny of First Season Sires at this sale has produced two G1 winners in the past four years for Team McEvoy… could this colt be the next one?

IN THE CONGO is one of the most exciting First Season Sires this year. He won the stallion making G1 Golden Rose, defeating the likes of Champion ANAMOE in the process. His pedigree is one of the best at stud in the country at the moment, being by SNITZEL and out of VIA AFRICA. She was a Champion Sprinter in South Africa and is the dam of the outstanding G1 winner AUTUMN GLOW. You won’t find many better bred Snitzels at stud, stacking the odds firmly in the favour of IN THE CONGO to make it as a successful stallion.

This colt is out of a fast, tough multiple stakes placed mare who won nine times on the track, and is a half-sister to another multiple stakes placed horse. She has produced a precocious 4th place 2yo in the L Maribyrnong Trial from her only runner thus far.

This colt physically presents exactly as his pedigree suggests – well-muscled, with a deep girth, a powerful hindquarter and strong gaskins. He embodies the type of horses Australia produces best – sharp, athletic and built to run. He looks ready to have a jockey on his back tomorrow!
