Undefeated Group 1-winning 2YO and Champion 3YO Sprinter
Ten Sovereigns, the best and fastest son of brilliant young sire No Nay Never, is the newest addition to the Valachi Downs stallion roster. He was an unbeaten, Group 1-winning two-year-old over 1200m – just like his sire, and a Champion 3YO Sprinter – even better than his sire. Ten Sovereigns hails from a long line of Group 1-winning two-year-olds and leading sires, injecting an enormous amount of early speed into the New Zealand industry.
