OVERVIEW
Bred For The Big Time: Target Australia’s Premier Staying Races
Triple Crown is thrilled to present an exceptional opportunity to join the ownership team of a magnificent colt, purchased from the Magic Millions Yearling Sale. This striking Castelvecchio x Holiday Romance colt is bred and built to excel in Australia’s most lucrative staying races.
A Future Stayer with Group 1 Aspirations
This colt has been specifically identified and acquired with a clear target in mind: Australia’s rich staying races. With his impressive physique and deep pedigree, he possesses all the attributes to develop into a genuine contender over middle and long distances. Imagine cheering him on in races like the Derby, Cox Plate or the Caulfield/Melbourne Cup – this is the dream we’re pursuing with this magnificent colt.
A Physical Specimen of the Highest Calibre
From the moment he stepped onto the Magic Millions sales ground, this colt commanded attention. He is a truly impressive physical type – strong, well-balanced and a total athlete. His conformation suggests durability and the scope to mature into a powerful racehorse, perfectly suited for the rigours of staying contests. He’s the kind of horse that makes you stop and stare.
Pedigree of Champions
His pedigree is nothing short of exceptional, a testament to generations of elite racehorses.
By Castelvecchio: His sire, Castelvecchio, is making an incredible start to his stallion career. His first crop of runners are now three-year-olds and are absolutely flying! They include the Group 1 Derby winner Aeliana, the Group 1 Champion Stakes winner El Castello, and the highly talented Shangri La Spring among others. This colt carries the torch of a sire who is already proving his ability to produce elite talent.
Out of Holiday Romance (by Snitzel): The dam’s side of his pedigree is just as impressive. Holiday Romance is by the Champion sire Snitzel, a titan of the Australian breeding industry. Delve deeper into his pedigree page, and you’ll find no less than three Champions gracing his immediate family. This is an outstanding international family that has enjoyed tremendous success across the globe, with Group 1 winners and stakes performers in England, Ireland, France, Hong Kong, the USA, and Australia (including the likes of REKINDLED INTEREST, GIGA KICK & ALABAMA EXPRESS).
Red-hot Trainers
This exciting colt will be entrusted to the expert care of the dynamic training partnership of Annabel & Rob Archibald. Known for their meticulous approach, their ability to develop young talent, and their incredible success with stayers, Annabel and Rob are perfectly positioned to unlock this colt’s potential.
Magic Millions & BOBS: Added Incentives
This colt comes with significant added financial incentives:
Magic Millions Race Series Eligibility: He is eligible and already nominated for the lucrative Magic Millions Race Series. This includes the $1,000,000 Magic Millions Subzero Handicap over 2200m and the $500,000 The Wave over 1800m. These races are run annually and are exclusively open to Magic Millions graduates. Crucially, comparatively few stayers are sold through the Magic Millions sales, which substantially increases the chances of horses like our colt to claim these significant riches against a smaller pool of competitors.
BOBS (Breeders & Owners Bonus Scheme) Eligibility: He is also eligible for the Breeders & Owners Bonus Scheme (BOBS), which provides additional prize money bonuses (in addition to normal prizemoney) for eligible horses winning races in New South Wales.
Don’t Miss This Opportunity!
This very exciting Castelvecchio x Holiday Romance colt literally ticks all the boxes: an outstanding physical type, a pedigree brimming with champions and elite staying bloodlines, a clear target for rich races, elite trainers, and significant prize money incentives.
Opportunities to own a colt of this quality and value, with such a strong staying profile and immense upside, are rare.

TRAINERS
Annabel Archibald’s lifelong passion for horses began in the UK, eventually bringing her to Australia, where she worked with leading stables like Gai Waterhouse and Ciaron Maher. While with the Maher stable, she worked with top-class horses such as Jameka, Dubious, and Away Game, and led the stable’s expansion into Sydney.
In 2020, Annabel launched her own operation at Warwick Farm, achieving immediate Group 1 success with Mounga in the Rosehill Guineas. This was followed by wins with Zaaki, including the 2021 Doomben Cup, Underwood, and Mackinnon Stakes, cementing her as a rising star in the Sydney training ranks.
Her success continued with Group 1 victories for Zaaki, Top Ranked, and Sunshine In Paris, along with an impressive roster of elite racehorses like Ostraka, Fawkner Park, Learning To Fly, and Libertad. Rob, a vital part of Annabel’s team, was promoted to Co-Trainer in mid 2024, elevating their results to new heights.
With satellite stables in Brisbane and Melbourne, Annabel and Rob expertly place horses to maximize their chances of winning. As valued members of the Triple Crown team, they continue to deliver exceptional results for Triple Crown horses.
