The Coolmore stallion roster has plenty to celebrate as the dual Group 1-winning juvenile Blackbeard officially gets off the mark with his very first winner, Timur!

The exciting colt showed fantastic early speed and determination to secure a comfortable debut victory, perfectly mirroring the precocious talent that his sire was famous for on the track. Proving it was no fluke, Timur has since gone from strength to strength, adding two more impressive victories to his record to make it three wins in total.

Blackbeard, Europe’s only dual Group 1-winning two-year-old of 2022, was always highly regarded for his blistering pace and professional attitude. Seeing him pass those exact traits on to his debut crop is a massive milestone.

This looks to be just the beginning of a bright future for Blackbeard’s progeny. Congratulations to all the winning connections—we can’t wait to see who follows Timur into the winner’s enclosure next!
