Demand will erupt for Krupt
SYDNEY group-winning juvenile Krupt will stand his first season at stud in Tasmania at Kingsley Park Thoroughbreds at Cygnet.
A good-looking son of champion sire Flying Spur, Krupt always showed immense ability in training and at just his third start won the Group Two Todman Stakes and was a one-time favourite for the Golden Slipper.
Injury after his Todman win robbed racegoers of seeing just what heights Krupt could reach, with the injury resulting in early retirement.
From relatively small books, with his oldest progeny five, the quality sire has produced impressive winners all around the country.
This season Krupt has been thrust into the spotlight by producing 30 winners from just 54 runners, with progeny earnings of more than $1.1 million.
His sprinting son Cashed has been flying the flag in great style with a Group 2 placing at weight-for-age, beating home superstar sprinter Lankan Rupee on his resumé.
Cashed is a last-start metropolitan winner for his Adelaide-based connections.
Krupt’s other winning progeny include stakes performer Trupt, Sydney winners Quantrill and Termele, Melbourne winners Skulduggery and Electric Tribute and Brisbane winners Nardoo and Rebel Miss.
“We are delighted to be standing Krupt as our first stallion at our farm at Cygnet,” Kingsley Park’s Rohan Gudden said.
“He is a top-class stallion with excellent conformation, a lovely nature and he boasts an excellent fertility rate of 90 per cent.
“This is only the tip of the iceberg for Krupt. We are sure that he will be very well received in Tasmania.”
Krupt will stand at a value service fee of $2200 (including GST) — the service comes with a live foal guarantee with the fee payable on live foal.

Kyogle Son was one of seven of the eight winners to lead throughout, but it was the way the gelded son of Wanted went about his task that impressed his trainer and owner Wayne Roser.
“We had an opinion of this horse from day one but it took forever for him to win his maiden,” Roser said. “The per- centages of horses that win a maiden then a class one at their next start are very low so we are optimistic about this one living up to our early expectations.”
The owner and trainer also were pleased with the effort of the third-placed Khatun, also raced by Roser. “Khatun ran on gamely and I’m sure her next win is just around the corner,” the trainer said.
