SIRE: TORONADO
One of Australia’s most popular stallions – and with reason as he just keeps popping up with quality winners – Swettenham Stud’s Toronado does a particularly good job in this part of the world.
His southern hemisphere winners-to-runners strike rate is an excellent 70% and he has been well represented by 29 stakes winners bred locally – and another 17 overseas.
Six of his sons and daughters are Gr.1 winners with all of but one of those racing or being bred in Australia… Masked Crusader, Mariamia, Bois D’Argent, Shelby Sixtysix and Victor The Winner (Hong Kong) doing a great job in the best of company.
With progeny earnings in excess of $120 million, Toronado has also had stakes winners in New Zealand, England, Ireland, France, Germany, UAE, America and Turkey.

DAM: ALYSSUM
An unraced daughter of the ten time NZ Champion Sire Savabeel (noting that all four of Toronado’s runners out of his daughters are winners), Alyssum is owned by Gerry Harvey who bred this colt – and who has since sent her to So You Think and I Am Invincible.
Following on from his wonderful career at stud, Savabeel is really doing the job as a broodmare sire with his daughters already producing 38 stakes winners including the Gr.1 horses Savatoxl, Beauty Eternal, Gringotts, Warmonger, Autumn Boy, Icebath and Never Been Kissed.
