Yearling Spotlight: The Tangerine Army Go Again

Following the excitement and success of Out Of The Blue on Karaka Millions Night - and with him now heading toward further black-type targets - the Tangerine Army is back doing what it loves most: finding quality horses, building genuine syndicates, and creating unforgettable racing experiences on and off the track.

The latest recruit to join the Tangerine Army is Lot 592, a black or brown colt by Trapeze Artist out of Pickup the Pieces, purchased from the outstanding team at Woburn Farm for $145,000. From the outset, this colt stood out as a beautifully rich-coloured individual with balance, athleticism, and presence. He was an eye-catching weanling who has continued to develop into a classy, correct yearling with natural strength and scope - the type of horse you enjoy watching mature and one we are genuinely excited to see progress through the stable.

By quadruple Group One winner Trapeze Artist, Champion Three-Year-Old Colt in Australia and one of the most exciting young sons of the late Snitzel, this colt brings serious speed and sprinting power to the table. Trapeze Artist has made a flying start at stud and is already the sire of more than 130 winners, including nine stakes performers. Standing at Widden Stud, he is consistently spoken about in the same breath as leading Snitzel sire sons such as Shamus Award and Russian Revolution, underlining his growing influence and long-term potential as a stallion.

On the dam side, Pickup the Pieces is by Bel Esprit, the sire of the unbeaten champion Black Caviar and now one of the most influential broodmare sires in Australasia. Pickup the Pieces was herself a three-time winner up to 1300 metres in Australia and has already produced a winner, adding proven racetrack performance and toughness to this colt’s profile. The deeper pedigree features strong sprinting influences through Testa Rossa, Snippets, and Danzig, reinforcing speed, soundness, and the ability to perform early while still training on.

Carefully selected by Te Akau Racing and expertly prepared by Woburn Farm, this colt has been purchased with a clear plan - to give owners an exciting, genuine racehorse experience from the very beginning, backed by elite training, proven bloodlines, and a stable renowned for developing horses to reach their potential.

Being part of the Tangerine Army is about more than just race results. It’s about the social side of racing - owner events, racedays, celebrations, behind-the-scenes access, and sharing the journey with a like-minded group who genuinely love the sport. We take pride in building syndicates that feel like a team, where owners enjoy the highs together and create lasting memories both on and off the track.

Shares are available from just 1% at $1,650 plus GST per 1% share, which includes a one-off event fund for on- and off-track owner experiences. This represents full ownership, with prize money distributed accordingly, and offers an affordable entry into elite racing with a strong social component.

For those looking to enjoy quality ownership, professional training, and the camaraderie that comes with being part of the Tangerine Army, this colt presents a compelling opportunity.
