Not many horses remain competitive over eight seasons but that is just what the aptly named SOUND (GER) did - successful at his two-year-old debut and racing right through till ten, along the way winning nine races (including two runnings of the Gr.2 Zipping Stakes) and finishing in the placings at Gr.1 level on three occasions.

Pedigree Report by Kristen Manning.

 

A classy stayer who amassed in excess of $2 million in stakes, Sound is the ideal horse for the broodmare owner wanting to breed toughness into their stock and he has an exciting pedigree with his sire - the two times German Horse Of The Year Lando - another great example of durability.


Twice a Listed winner at two, a two times Gr.1 winner at three and again at four, he won
another three races at the elite level at five - seeing off his outstanding career with success in one of the world's biggest races the Gr.1 Japan Cup.


Doing a great job at stud, so well represented by 28 stakes winners (seven in Gr.1 company) amongst his 326 winners from 512 runners, Lando had eight runners in Australia - the others including the Gr.2 Herbert Power Stakes winner Shahwardi and the Gr.3 Kingston Town Stakes winner Prince Cheri.


Like the great stallions Danehill and Sir Tristram, Lando is line-bred to his own family with his fourth dam Lis also the dam of his sire Acatenango's grandsire Literat.
