KOL

DEEP FIELD, the son of NORTHERN METEOR, was trained by Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes with a record of 5 wins, 1 second and 1 third in 8 starts while he got first five wins in a row until placing 3rd in G1 Lightning Stakes. Although he is only a G2 winner, he is welcomed by the breeders since his sire passed away and he is known as precocious with great speed. 44 runners of him won the black type contests including 2021 Hong Kong Sprint winner SKY FIELD, two times South African G1 winner AL MUTHANA, G1 Oakleigh Plate champion PORTLAND SKY and Hong Kong's second Triple Crown winner VOYAGE BUBBLE. Newgate Farm had announced that DEEP FIELD has been retired from stallion in 2023. KOL has been unsold as a 2YO for not reaching AUD$ 300,000 in 2024 Inglis Ready2Race Sale where he finished 200M breeze up run in 10.69s. He was trained by Matthew Vella in Australia and took part in 3 barrier trials. On his first barrier trial over 920M (2nd Apr 2025), he jumped well to lead and kept on well to win on heavy ground, led early but headed late for 3rd in a 1050M section (14th Apr 2025) on good going, then taken back from wide gate and ran on for 6th under a hold in an 800M trial (25th Aug 2025) on heavy ground. His dam GOSSIP QUEEN is an unraced while her first foal GOSSIP TORQUE collected 7 wins from 800M to 1000M and most family members including former HK runner WIND SPEEDER ran on well in sprint races. Being a the fourth dam family member of 1994 Breeders' Cup Classic winner CONCERN, the bay gelding should be fine on dirt.
