miRunners Update May 2025

Meet the newest members of our family!

We are thrilled to introduce two of the newest members to miRunners – Freddy and Smithy! These two young colts have hit the ground running, and we cannot wait for you to get to know them. There is so much to share about their personalities, stories, and what they will bring to our community.

Read on to learn all about Freddy and Smithy – we cannot wait to race these precocious colts with you!

Freddy – Pierata x Highland Daughter

There is a lot to be excited about when it comes to Freddy, the striking colt by Group 1 winning sprinter PIERATA out of the proven, stakes placed and winning 2 year old mare Highland Daughter. With an elite pedigree, a sensational start to his education, under the guidance of Shannon Benjes and her team at Emeran Park, Freddy is a great option if you want to race a 2 year old next season for an affordable entry price of just $103 upfront and $20.30 per month ongoing.

PIERATA, the best performed son of Champion sire PIERRO, who earned over $5.8 million on the track and famously defeated the likes of NATURE STRIP, REDZEL, TRAPEZE ARTIST and BIVOUACPIERATA’S first crop of runners has already exploded onto the scene, producing five individual Group performers, including Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes winner and Golden Slipper runner-up COLEMAN. Freddy carries every hallmark of his sire, strength, precocity, and natural speed. Purchased from the Gold Coast Magic Millions yearling sale for $55,000 (inc GST) Freddy is incredible value for money.

Freddy’s dam, Highland Daughter, was Group placed and a 2 year old winner herself and has already produced stakes winner HIGHLAND BEAT, a dual winner as a 2 year old. With four winners from five runners, she is a mare that delivers on the track.

Dig deeper into Freddy’s pedigree, and the quality keeps coming:

  • Second dam RAYSIZA was a stakes winner who produced seven winners from ten runners, including RYAN (20 career wins, including two as a 2 year old) and Orso, another dual 2 year old winner and stakes place getter.
  • Third dam RAYSIYA was the producer of LAURENS, Champion 3 year old in France, winner of eight races including three as a 2 year old, and KINNAIRD, a five time winner as a 2 year old.

Freddy is currently being broken in and completing his early education at the renowned Emeran Park, and the reports could not be more promising. He is showing all the right signs, natural under saddle, a fantastic attitude, and thriving in his work. From day one, Freddy has looked the part, now he is backing it up with a professional mindset and athleticism in spades.

Once he completes his education, Freddy will join Bjorn Baker at Warwick Farm, NSW, one of the most consistent and dynamic stables in the country. Bjorn is renowned for getting early results with 2 year old’s and preparing horses for the major feature races in Australia. Freddy will be given every chance to shine under Bjorn’s expert guidance and with access to top tier facilities.

Why Freddy?
  • Elite PIERATA bloodlines already proven at Group level
  • Proven 2 year old performers on both sides of his pedigree
  • Looking fantastic in early training and thriving at Emeran Park
  • Natural mindset and bombproof nature — the kind you dream of in a colt

Smithy – Sandbar x Moss My Name

Introducing Smithy, a powerful, athletic colt by exciting first season sire SANDBAR and out of the tough, five time winning mare MOSS MY NAME. With all the attributes of an early running 2 year old, Smithy is bred to perform and priced to thrill, for only $78 upfront and $20.24 per month ongoing.

Purchased for just $27,500 (inc GST) from the Kooringal Stud at the Adelaide Magic Millions sale, Smithy stood out for all the right reasons. His athleticism, faultless conformation, and bombproof temperament made him a clear standout among his peers, and the miRunners team knew they had found something special.

Smithy is a strong, early 2 year old type and is targeting the Magic Millions race series next season. His physical build, powerful hindquarter, massive forearm & shoulders, echoes the traits of his sire SANDBAR and SANDBAR’s famous brother FARNAN, winner of the Golden Slipper.

Smithy is currently being broken in and completing his early education at Emeran Park, one of Australia’s most trusted and experienced spelling and pre training farms. He has taken to his training like a natural, showing confidence under saddle, an incredibly willing attitude, and a clear love for his work. The feedback has been glowing with Smithy absolutely thriving and handling everything with maturity beyond his age. It is exactly what you want to see in a colt heading toward an early 2 year old racing campaign.

SANDBAR is quickly making a name for himself at stud.  With seven runners to the track at the time of writing, he has already sired four winners and two place getters, an extraordinary strike rate that signals a serious stallion on the rise.

Smithy will be trained by Charlotte Littlefield at Hayfields Racing in Pakenham, VIC. Charlotte is regarded as one of the most astute emerging trainers in Australia, known for her meticulous care, attention to detail, and success in getting the best out of her horses. Hayfields Racing offers a boutique, personalised experience, using the state of the art Pakenham training facilities to give horses every chance to succeed.

Smithy is a prime example of the incredible value miRunners aims to deliver. He offers a genuine chance to race in some of Australia’s biggest races, with the pedigree, physique, and training team to go far and at a price point rarely seen for a colt of this quality.

With miRunners already producing a Golden Slipper runner in 2025, and with more exciting yearlings on the path to early 2 year old racing, our focus remains clear: buy, race, and have the time of your life!

Smithy is more than a promising young racehorse, he is your chance to join a community of passionate owners, cheer from the stands, and experience the highs of racing from the inside.
