Grandview Stud in conjunction with the Whittington Syndicate QLD are delighted to announce that outstanding stakes winning sprinter WHITTINGTON will be standing again this season at Grandview Stud.

On the racetrack, WHITTINGTON exploded onto the scene taking out the time-honored 2YO Breeders Plate in dominant fashion by 3L at his first start. He won the Lohnro Plate and achieved another stakes placing as a 2yo.

As a 3yo, WHITTINGTON mixed it with some of the best sprinters in the country taking out the Magic Millions Sprint in blistering fashion, stopping the clock at 1:01.77 for the 1100m smashing the track record.

As a stallion, the striking son of TALE OF THE CAT is an impeccable type and possesses the strength and speed that has been the precedent for sire success in Queensland.

He excelled with his first crop of 2 year olds by finishing 5th by winners in Australia and his progeny have continued to produce exceptional results as 3 & 4 year olds.

Last season (2019/20) WHITTINGTON was the 2nd-placed QTIS stallion in the Second Season Sires table and 3rd-placed QTIS stallion in the 3YO Sire table.

Currently WHITTINGTON is having his best season (2020/21) for runners to winners striking at 61% (@ 1 May 2021) with city winners including Stampe, Bold Style, Patches, Firebox & Dansant.
