- Host was a Dual Grp 1 winner who was tough and campaigned at the top level throughout his entire racing career.
- Host had a devastating turn of foot, often being reserved for one late charge at the leaders and coming with enormous strides.
- Son of Hussonet who has sired 4 Group 1 winners in a short time since coming to Australia after spectacular figures in South America.
- Good first book and any Host foal may carry a special premium from his third crop.
- Absolutely stunning types of foals that suit Australian conditions and trainers. Great moving horses with balance and a huge overstep.
- Extremely encouraging reports from trainers and breakers that have handled his first crop rising 2YO’s
