From limited opportunities, Pendragon, a stakes-winning son of Elnadim and earner of over $500,000, has had a standout 2015/2016 season, which included blacktype success with Think Big Stud homebred Miss Gunpowder, winner of the Group 2 MRC Thousand Guineas Prelude, stakesplaced Dragon Flyer and consistent city winner, Killarney Kid.
Sire of 60 winners from only 119 starters and earnings of over $4.8m worldwide giving Pendragon a ratio of 50.4% winners/starters. Pendragon currently has horses racing in the stables of James Cummings, Chris Anderson and Phillip Stokes, to name a few.
Since Pendragon’s stud career began he has sired runners in Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and New Zealand, who have become multiple winners. They have been successful at the metropolitan and provincial meetings and won in all track conditions across a range of distances. His best performers to date include G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude winner, Miss Gunpowder (5 wins & $242,100), the ever consistent Killarney Kid (12 wins & $402,663) and multiple winners The Peak (7 wins, 3 sp & $531,532), Abba (2wins, 1 sp), Blazing Dragon (5 wins & $216,265) and recent winner Mega Mall (3 wins).
Pendragon’s recent racetrack success include multiple winning mare, Mega Mall (3 wins, $71,525) and debut winner at Morphettville, Supreme Polarity, who was able to back up that winning performance at Balaklava on Sunday and remains unbeaten. Supreme Polarity joins The Peak (5 wins in a row) and smart mare, Model Dragon (3 wins in a row), Ivanhoe (3 wins) who were able to put together consecutive wins from debut. We look forward to seeing what Model Dragon can produce this preparation after she won her trial at Strathalbyn last week by 2.6L. This week also saw Budderoo Knight (4 wins & $102,000) qualify for the Provincial Championship at Randwick and Mercurial Lad add a second win at the Canberra feature meeting to his lightly raced record.
Dato Tan Chin Nam has placed a lot of faith in Pendragon and is pleased with his achievements so far in his career. Pendragon has been going from strength to strength and it would be very hard to find a better value for money stallion at just $5,500 inc GST here in Australia this season. With his 115 career starters to date averaging $41,148 in prizemoney earnings, at Pendragon’s 2017 fee, the service fee to prizemoney return is possibly unmatched. This equates to over $7 of prizemoney for every $1 of service fee spent.
Pendragon will be standing the 2017 season at Brisbane Meadow in conjunction with Think Big Stud Pty Ltd.
