OVERVIEW
IN THE CONGO x GIRL MANIA
Love this type of horse – sharp, early and built to get you into the action quickly.
BRED FOR SPEED, BUILT FOR TWO-YEAR-OLD SUCCESS
This exciting In The Congo colt is out of Girl Mania who possessed speed to burn and hails from an outstanding international family with multiple Group 1 winners and Champion racehorses. This colt looks ready-made for early racing, he combines natural precocity, elite speed influences and a pedigree stacked with two-year-old brilliance.
This is the type of colt that gets owners involved early – mature, sharp and forward, with all the hallmarks of a natural 2YO who won’t take long to be racing. We will target the $2m Inglis Millenium and then $4.5m Golden Slipper.
BUILT TO RUN EARLY
Physically, this colt screams early runner. He is strong, mature and athletic, with excellent muscle definition and a powerful hindquarter – exactly what you want in a colt bred to show early speed.
IN THE CONGO – ELITE GROUP 1 SPEED
The sire of this exciting colt, In The Congo, represents everything Australian racing demands – elite speed, toughness and genuine Group 1 class.
An outstanding Group 1-winning three-year-old by Champion sire Snitzel, In The Congo was one of the very best sprinters of his generation. He famously captured the Group 1 Golden Rose, defeating a stellar field that included Champion Anamoe, along with fellow Group 1 winners Artorius, Captivant and Startantes – a performance that firmly stamped him as a colt of the highest calibre.
It was no surprise that In The Congo was so good. He is bred for greatness, being by a Champion sire out of a Champion sprinter and is the three-quarter brother to unbeaten Group 1 winner Autumn Glow, further underlining the elite nature of his pedigree.
His performances at the top level were defined by brilliant, sustained speed – a hallmark of the very best Australian sprinters.
His trainers knew exactly what they had:
“In The Congo is the best three-year-old sprinter I’ve ever trained. He consistently displayed A-grade Group 1 form and incredibly raw speed for his entire three-year-old season… he was outstanding, beating the best and always displaying that brilliant, sustained speed. ”
— Adrian Bott, Co-Trainer
SPEED-LOADED FEMALE LINE
This colt’s dam Girl Mania was all speed – a mare with pace to burn – and she injects another crucial layer of early two-year-old brilliance into the pedigree.
Her sire Capitalist needs no introduction:
- Champion 2YO
- Magic Millions & Golden Slipper winner
- One of the fastest and most precocious juveniles of the modern era
Capitalist has quickly established himself as a leading source of speed, toughness and early success at stud, and his influence as a broodmare sire is proving extremely potent.
Adding further depth, Girl Mania hails from a strong international family featuring multiple Group 1 winners and Champion racehorses. This is an early-maturing, stakes-winning family that consistently produces fast, elite horses.

Ciaron Maher
TRAINER
Apprentice to CS Hayes and then a successful jumps jockey, including captaining the Australia team against Ireland in the International Jockey Challenge, Ciaron realised his size would deny his riding ambitions. Despite that, his love for racing and his natural interest and curiosity in training saw him commit to a career as a trainer at a young age.
Knowing you learn best from the best, he spent time with Bart Cummings, Aiden O’Brien and Willie Mullins before starting in his own right, with 6 boxes on his dad’s farm. He knows you never stop learning and continues to connect with the greats, only last year spending time with Wesley Ward (USA), Roger Charlton (UK) and Richard Hannon (UK), Andre Fabre (France) and Joseph O’Brien (IRE).
Ciaron is now very happy to be based in what he describes as the best training facility he’s seen anywhere in the world
