Racing only as a two and three year old, she recorded twelve wins including the Evicus Stakes, the Belmont and Tasmanian Yearling Sale Classic and was placed in the Breeders Crown 2YO Final and Tasmanian Oaks.
She finished with a stake of $128,351 – a valuable total for a short career.
Karalta Crown has built up an excellent track record at the stud farm. She left behind ten racing-age foals, eight of which were successful and amassed a hefty $709,813 in prize money.
Her offspring include Light Harness Cup winner Karalta Dazzler, Debutante Stakes, North Eastern Cup and Marathon winner Rockandahardplace, Sweepstakes winner May’s Place, Ideal Karalta and recent Thorate Memorial winner Tassie Dazzler.
Karalta Crown’s newest offspring are a large, strong and robust gelding of the 2YO Colt of the Year and promising young colonial stallion The Storm Inside, an entry for the Tasmanian yearling sale will be run by Nutrien Equine in Carrick Park on Saturday 14th February.
Lot 20 in the catalogue, the gelding is part of the three-headed design presented by prominent Lilydale breeder Shane Hawes and prepared by Bridport rider Kate McLeod.
Hawes, who produced 2024 Tasmanian Horse of the Year Mickey Oh, Granny Smith winner Ark Breeze and Country Derby winner Frankie Falzoni, has also entered two well-bred fillies for the sale.
Lot 4 is an athletic bay filly by champion sire Rock N Roll Heaven out of the Bettor’s Delight mare Bettor’s Beach Babe and is her second foal.
The filly was bred from the same cross as million-earner Let It Ride, Blazing Home (Vic. Youthful and QLD 4YO Championship) and WA Oaks victor Madam Publisher and is in the same family as Perth ace Can Return Fire and Victoria Gold Chalice and Hamilton Cup winner Posh Jackka.
The other filly from the Hawes design is Lot 8a neat, compact type of the Australian and NZ 2YO Colt of the Year and leading colonial sire Follow The Stars from Cathartic, a 1:58 winning daughter of the Meadowlands Pace winner Roll With Joe.
Her mother’s first foal, the bay filly, is a direct descendant of Irish Town, one of Apple Isle’s best racing mares of the 1990s and whose 19 successes included the Belmont, Princess Of Pace, Tasmanian 3YO Championship and the Victorian Goffin Memorial and Smile Mile. The family also includes NSW Pink Bonnet winner Gracie Wilkes, Ballychurch (Tas. 3YO Filly Ch’ship) and double Metropolitan Cup winner Good Town.
