Lot 333 Circus Maximus - Qiji Vision Bay Colt

Lot 333 bay colt Circus Maximus – Qiji Vision (Iffraaj) $105,000 (draft: Windsor Park Stud)

“Beautifully balanced, he’s a really strong colt by this exciting new sire who was an incredible racehorse in Europe,” said David Ellis.

“He’s really cut in the mould of his sire, who is a gorgeous individual, and we’re always on the lookout for good progeny out of Iffraaj mares because he’s doing such a good job as a sire of sires and broodmare sire and of course our Champion mare Melody Belle (Commands) was out of an Iffraaj mare.”

By the greatest sire of stakes winners in the world, Galileo (Sadler’s Wells), Circus Maximus was a Champion Miler and triple Group One winner that won the St James Palace Stakes (Gr. 1, 1600m), a noted stallion-making race, and like Champion racehorse Frankel (Galileo) before him, won the Queen Anne Stakes (Gr. 1, 1600m) also at Royal Ascot.

Dam Qiji Vision is a sister to multiple stakes winner Who Dares Wins (Iffraaj), from the family of Joint Top Filly Talk Talk (Lord Ballina) and impressive winning race mare Rumour Has It Now (Traditionally).

The colt has a lovely balance of quality sire crosses in his pedigree, with Northern Dancer on the sire line of Circus Maximus and the dam line of Iffraaj, along with Mr Prospector and super mare Special.
