Champion trotter MAJESTIC SON joins Stallion Station roster
Majestic Son, one of the greatest trotters produced in North America and a former Canadian Horse of the Year, is slated to stand the coming season at Stallion Station’s Christchurch base, alongside champion sire Mach Three and US Breeders Crown winner Santanna Blue Chip.
Boasting a bankroll of $1,993,157, Majestic Son is by far the richest and one of the best credentialled trotters ever to be imported to the Southern Hemisphere.
In 38 career starts, Majestic Son compiled the outstanding record of 22 wins – including six at Group 1 level – five seconds and three thirds. He met and defeated his great archrival Glidemaster (Tr 1:51.2 and $1,968,023) on four occasions in the Champlain Stakes, Goodtimes, Canadian Trotting Classic and Breeders Crown.
As a two-year-old he won in 1:55.8, at Mohawk’s seven-eighths mile track, winning five races including the $252,000 Ontario Sires Stakes Super Final.
However, at three he really stepped up. In 19 starts as a three-year-old he won 14 times and collected more than $1.3 million in stakes.
Majestic Son took his record of 1:52.4 at three years, winning the $900,000 Canadian Trotting Classic, in which he defeated US Horse of the Year Glidemaster and Global Glide. His other major successes at three were the $500,000 Breeders Crown, $154,470 Canadian Breeders Championship, $252,540 Goodtimes and three $115,000 Ontario Sires Stakes Gold Finals.
At four in 2007, he won a further three races including the Frank Ryan Memorial Trot in a track and Canadian record time of 1:53 on a five-eighths mile track before injury curtailed his career.
Now in the top bracket as a sire, Angus Hall, the sire of Majestic Son, was one of the greatest sons of Garland Lobell Tr 1:55.6, and he retired from racing with a stake tally of $830,654 and a world two-year-old record. Angus Hall is now the sire of 30 in 1:55 and the winners of almost $40million.
Majestic Son is the richest and second fastest son of Angus Hall.
Celtic Contessa, the dam of Majestic Son, is a King Conch mare out of the exceptional race and broodmare Ramerizi Tr 1:56.8 ($433,344), who left the world champion and Nat Ray winner Misterizi Tr 1:51 ($410,893).
Majestic Son has served books in excess of 90 mares in his first two seasons at Tara Hills Stud, Ontario, with a stud fee of $Can10,000.
