1512 Lot35 - Southern Cross Draco
December 2015 auction
Chestnut colt 3/10/13 mature 16.1 hh
Budweiser x Southern Cross Aurora
On account of Southern Cross Warmbloods
Southern Cross Draco represents over thirty years of breeding excellent performance horses by a boutique stud in Australia. Draco’s sire is Budweiser and his dam is Southern Cross Aurora. Budweiser is a very successful showjump sire. His pedigree features such legendary stallions as Landgraaf, Ladykiller, Cor de la Bryere, Voltaire and Ahorn Z. Some of his progeny are Kitara Bollinger, Kitara Veuve and Kitara Bellefon. Southern Cross Aurora is by the wonderful TB eventing and jumping sire Brilliant Invader. He has sired World Cup showjumpers Pirate, Mitavite Imperial, Gingernut, Scarlett and Dunstan Flower Power and the eventing superstar Ready Teddy and he is the grandsire of Wendy Schaeffer’s Koyuna horses Sun Shine, Sun Magic, Sun Set and Tora Bora. Aurora was campaigned by Emma Hindmarsh and progressed to 2*, retired as a broodmare after injury. Aurora is still retained by the stud. Draco is a bright chestnut colt with a blaze and three socks and should mature to be in excess of 16hh. He exhibits a huge walk, an elastic and expressive trot and a bold soft canter. He is very well grown from his daily Prydes’ feed and has been regularly wormed. Draco is an excellent example of the modern type of warmblood - refined and elegant. We believe he will make an excellent showjumping or eventing horse. His temperament is to die for, he appears to have a willingness to please and to work and therefore should be very trainable.
