This strong, kind natured 4-year old is by dual Group 1 winner Epaulette and is in training with Gary Moore. The horse ran consistently well towards the end of his 2019 season and looks handicapped to win in 2020! He is a half sibling to 9-time winner Good Luck Charm.
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 9-time winner Good Luck Charm who is still in training with Gary Moore at the age of 11.
Aiguillette was a late developer who took a little time to come together. However we were thrilled to see towards the back end of his 3-year old season Aiguillette running consistently finishing second three times on the bounce! He has wintered well and strengthened up and Gary believes the horse should win races during his 2020 season. We look forward to seeing him on the turf, preferably when conditions are softer.

The gelding comes from a family of winners including dual winner The Shuffler, 3-time winner Lightning Spirit and her most successful offspring, 9-time winner Good Luck Charm. Interestingly, all her offspring are kind and well-mannered sorts also.
