This strong, kind natured 4-year old is by dual Group 1 winner Epaulette and has been running consistently well towards the end of his 2019 season! This horse bears a strong resemblance to his 9-time winning half brother Good Luck Charm in several ways, and is in training with Gary Moore, West Sussex.
Epaulette was a top-class 2-year old sprinter in Australia winning 3 Group 1 races in total, and he has a strong pedigree making him a 3 parts brother to leading first season sire Helmet. The first crop of Epaulette offspring appeared in 2017 and he achieved a 31% winners-to-runners strike rate which is very impressive for such a young stallion.
The Dam Lucky Dice has been a loyal and successful servant for Heart of the South and this colt is her last foal as she now retires from Broodmare duties. She has produced 4 winners from 5 foals, including half brothers The Shuffler who was a dual winner and 7-time winner Good Luck Charm who is still in training with Gary Moore at the age of 10 (and showing no signs of stopping anytime soon!)
Aiguillette was a late developing 3yo and after a minor wind issue was rectified in the summer, it was a joy to watch him start to progress during his races, fill with confidence and finish 2nd three times on the bounce! He has been racing consistently well and after a short winters break, trainer Gary Moore believes Aiguillette is well handicapped as he heads into his 4yo campaign and should win plenty of races.

Epaulette by Commands
Epaulette was a precious sort and a winner of the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes and the Group 3 Beck Caulfield Guineas at the age of two. He also finished a close third in the Gr1 Darley TJ Smith Stakes behind Black Caviar at 40-1!
A new Sire on the block, he is making his mark with his 2-year olds with a current strike rate of 28%. His 2-year old winners include International Man, Doublet, Sankari Royale and Rogue. However we are keeping an extra close eye on Chookie Dunedin who won her Plus 10 Bonus race, and she looks set for big things even at this young age.
Lucky Dice by Perugino
Lucky Dice is a much loved mare at Heart of the South and we are delighted she has produced such a lovely type to end her broodmare career. The gelding comes from a family of winners including dual winner The Shuffler, 3-time winner Lightning Spirit and her most successful offspring, 7-time winner Good Luck Charm. Interestingly, all her offspring are kind and well-mannered sorts also.
Lucky Dice herself was a winner of four races in Norway over 1 mile or less. She is a half sister to 1m winner Bola Alaska, and 6f winner Valatrix out of a half sister to Gr3 winner Royal Millennium.
