Sire: Kingman; Dam: More Aspen. Fee: $16,500: Widden Stud invested strongly in the Victorian breeding industry with the announcement of Group 1 winner King Colorado joining their Victorian farm in 2024. "King Colorado won the Gr1 JJ Atkins at just his third race start and has a world-class female pedigree stamping him as a serious sire prospect," Antony Thompson, principal of Widden told racing.com when King Colorado was announced for 2024. Winner of the Gr1 JJ Atkins in Brisbane at only his third start, having also won his second start, King Colorado announced himself as something special very quickly. Perhaps a victim of his own early success, he was sent around against the older horses in the Gr1 Winx Stakes first up at three, and during his 3YO season, he ran in six Group 1 races and two Group 3 races, placing in both of those and running fourth in the stallion-making Gr1 Caulfield Guineas. His sire Kingman is a brilliant Classic winner who has global appeal as a stallion with 89 stakes winners including Australian Group 1 winners King Colorado and Zardozi, while his son Calyx is showing promise with Group 2 placed juvenile Earthstorm from his first crop. Kingman, for all his extraordinary success, is still only a young stallion and his sire sons are mostly too young to have many runners. A descendant of one of the best families in America, King Colorado is out of Listed Meydan Singspiel Stakes winner More Aspen, a half-sister to Listed winner Jade Master. His third dam is Gr1 Gamely Stakes winner Northern Aspen, one of four Gr1 winners (and nine stakes winners) out of Gr1 winner Fall Aspen. Dubai Millennium (sire of Dubawi) also features in this stunning family.
