"Bred on the same Galileo x Danzig lines as FRANKEL (Time forms rated the Worlds Best Racehorse) - "Frankel wins Ascot's QEII in regal style"

Tete de la Course is a young six year old striking bay Stallion, who will stand as foundation sire for Gold Fields in Victoria.

He is very athletic, has a strong shoulder, lovely rein, great hind quarters and an excellent temperament.
His dam Tuscan Twist, is from the speed family by Perugino, and his grand dam Spanglet, a 2YO Stakes winner of the VATC Mona Nursery.

By Champion sire Galileo, who is taking all before him this season with a host of Group 1 winners across the continent in Ireland, America and South Africa.
Tete de la course has been extremely well priced for his first season allowing an opportunity to access these formidable blood lines.

COMPARISON OF NEW SEASON SIRES AT THE RECENT INGLIS PARADE
Tete de la Course has double influence of successful Dalmary RF female line from Fairy Bridge:
Special/Thong/Rough Shod/Dalmary are influential RF (Rassmussen Factor), these 3 are in top 10.
Other top 10 RF females in TDLC pedigree include: Natalma/Almahmoud (4 times) & Lalun (twice).
Mares with Nureyev or Fairy King (eg. Encosta de Lago) will reinforce the Dalmary line RF females.
Sadlers Wells x Nureyev cross is a proved winner.  So is Danzig (ie. he has from Perugino) x Nijinsky.
Sadlers Wells x Mr Prospector is a proven winner.  So is Danehill & Spring Adieu with Sadlers Wells.
Danehill brings Natalma's daughter Spring Adiue x balanced with her son Northern Dancer for speed.
The majority of genetic influence is passed through the female line, so Galileo/Sadlers Wells is great.
