An unbeaten 2YO and Gr.2 winning three year old by So You Think, Peltzer has been retired to Twin Hills Stud for the 2021 breeding season and will stand at a fee of $16,500 inc GST.
Peltzer was the winner of all three of his races as a juvenile and is the highest rated 2YO ever produced by his sire, So You Think.
His feature wins came as a 3YO, in the Gr.2 Stan Fox Stakes, the Gr.2 Eskimo Prince Stakes and in the inaugural running of the million dollar Bondi Stakes over the famed Randwick mile.
On debut as a two year old, Peltzer accounted for the subsequent Group winner Anders over 1000 metres. His next two runs as a two year old were both at Randwick, resulting in easy wins (by two-lengths and four-lengths). Peltzer finished the season as an unbeaten three time winner, with the highest Timeform rating of any juvenile by his outstanding sire.
His three wins as a three year old also came in succession.
A win in the Gr.2 Eskimo Prince Stakes over 1500m at Randwick preceded a three-length victory in the Bondi Stakes, a million dollar race over the Randwick mile. Following a spell, Peltzer defeated both Prague and North Pacific in the Gr.2I Stan Fox Stakes over 1200 metres. He retires having won 6 of his 13 starts and having amassed over $1 million in prizemoney.
Peltzer is by the imperious So You Think, one of Australia’s greatest ever racehorses and emerging as one of Australia’s great stallions. A grandson of High Chapparal, Peltzer is from the sire line that is emerging as a powerhouse of Australasian breeding – the line of Toronado, Dundeel, Contributer. His dam is by Elusive Quality, who is also the broodmare sire of Deep Field. He descends from the Aga Khan family of French Champion Shawanda.
