LOFTY MACSPORRAN | STAYING PROSPECT | READY TO STEP UP 🐎✨

Lofty MacSporran is an exciting staying prospect with a pedigree built for progression and performance over time.

Foaled at the renowned Swettenham Stud, he is by seven-time Group 1 winner Highland Reel (IRE)—a son of the legendary Galileo—out of Cruz de Vega (AUS), a four-time winner by the outstanding sire Lope De Vega (IRE). This cross brings together two of the most influential international bloodlines, combining class, durability and proven staying power.

As expected from such an elite pedigree, Lofty profiles as a horse that will continue to improve with maturity and distance, showing clear aptitude for 2000m and beyond.

His pedigree credentials are exceptional:

TrueNicks Rating: A++
G1 Goldmine: 20/20

These ratings reinforce the strength of this cross and highlight the high-quality genetic match behind him.

Lofty has been given the time to develop physically and mentally, following the patient approach often required for genuine staying types. That preparation now sets him up perfectly as he heads to the races for the first time on 15 March 2026.

With his elite international pedigree, staying profile and the benefit of careful preparation, Lofty MacSporran represents an exciting opportunity for those looking to be involved in a progressive horse with the potential to keep improving as his distances increase.

🔥 The patience has been applied – now it’s time to see him step out on raceday.

MAURICE (JPN) x COURTESAN (NZ) – CLASSIC BRED FILLY ✨🏇

This exceptional filly was secured from the highly regarded Glenbeigh Farm Stud draft at the 2026 Magic Millions Yearling Sale (Lot 192), in partnership with Phillip Stokes Racing.

By elite international sire Maurice (JPN), she is an athletic, well-balanced filly with a fluent, purposeful walk – displaying all the hallmarks of a genuine Guineas / Oaks-style prospect.

Maurice is renowned for producing horses that improve sharply from late two to early three, and this filly fits that profile perfectly. His Australian legacy is headlined by Hitotsu, one of his most celebrated progeny, who made history with three consecutive Group 1 victories in the Victoria Derby, Australian Guineas and Australian Derby.

Her pedigree is stacked with classic stamina and elite black-type depth. She is out of Courtesan (NZ), a daughter of Mastercraftsman from the Star Way mare Argante (NZ). Courtesan has already produced multiple winners and hails from a proven, high-value family, with her progeny selling for up to $525,000.

Courtesan is also a half-sister to Monaco Consul, winner of the Victoria Derby and Spring Champion Stakes, reinforcing the strength of this staying bloodline.

Adding further upside, this filly is a full sister to Matsuda, a progressive 3YO trained by Ciaron Maher, who has shown strong staying promise in the Listed Geelong Classic. She is also closely related to Group 3 winner Proved.
