For centuries breeders have mated their mares to speed stallions and Keep The Faith certainly fills the bill. A USA 6 furlongs turf record in 1.06.82 plus a reputation as a horse with freakish ability make him the perfect son of Sunday Silence to make his mark in Australia. A great type of horse who made $1.2m as a yearling when that was rare in Australia, he has always carried a boom on him. His foals can be expected to keep him in the limelight. The perfect sire for breeders’ wanting an early running type for their mare. | Female Line1st dam DUELLING GIRL, by Dayjur. Winner at 7f in GB.
