GET FRIENDLY

TORONADO, a son of HIGH CHAPARRAL and the former Al Shaqab Racing runner, with a record of 6 wins and 3 seconds in 12 starts while Richard Hughes as his regular jockey, winning distance from 1300M to 1600M. He remained unbeaten when he was 2 until being ran down by DAWN APPROACH in 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes under the care of Richard Hannon Sr., but he fought back in Sussex Stakes afterwards. He landed Queen Anne Stakes for trainer Richard Hannon as a 5YO. After that, he made his move to Breeders' Cup Mile but failed. He entered stud in 2015, 44 runners of him won the black type contests and his service fee in 2025 is AUD$ 88,000. The stallion has been suspended from his duties which he suffered a significant infection, which in turn has caused him lameness. GET FRIENDLY was owned by Star Thoroughbreds and trained by Chris Waller in Australia. He took part in 3 overseas barrier trials where he settled midfield early and ran on for 6th up rail in a 783M trial (13th May 2025), settled at rear early and ran on between horses for 2nd in a 1208M section (26th May 2025) on heavy ground, then led all the way to win a 1030M trial (6th Jun 2025) on soft going. The original owner of this horse is a famous Australian racing syndicate, and it is particularly special that it was sold before it was raced. His dam SHE’S FURLINE won at 1300M and most dam family members ran on well in sprint events. The bay gelding should be most suited over mile or under in distance and fine on dirt.
