"Of all the horses I've driven he'd have the biggest heart."
"He was the most natural two-year-old I've driven. Beautifully gaited and a beautiful horse to drive."
"He had an amazing attitude and always gave 120% every time he went out on the track."
These are the words of champion driver Dexter Dunn when asked about millionaire pacer SMILING SHARD, who will stand the upcoming season at Medowie Lodge in New South Wales.
SMILING SHARD is one of three millionaire sons of the ARTSPLACE, GRINFROMEARTOEAR. The other two - MR FEELGOOD and MISTER BIG are both off to tremendous starts to their young siring careers.
SMILING SHARD has a truly exciting pedigree as a stallion. Not only is he bred 3x3 to ABERCROMBIE but also 3x3 to BLUE HORIZON, a grand-daughter of the outstanding broodmare, SHIFTING SANDS.
This is the wonderful GOLDEN MISS family, a prolific family for producing successful sires like ROCKNROLL HANOVER, GRINFROMEARTOEAR, REAL DESIRE, SAFELY KEPT, PANORAMA and STRIKE OUT.
For good measure, SMILING SHARD also carries a third strain of this family and is bred 6x6x6 to GOLDEN MISS herself. He is a half brother to the 1:55.6 winning mare, PEMBERTON SHARD and is dam is a half sister to the outstanding 29 win, $911,689 earning acer SLY FLYIN whose multiple Group One victories included the New Zealand Sires Stakes 2yo Final and the NZ Free-For-All.
Futurity eligibility: NSW Breeders Challenge
