The SIRE
Whittington is by Tale of The Cat, a son of the dominant and internationally acclaimed source of speed in Storm Cat.
As a racehorse Whittington was trained by Gai Waterhouse, winning 4 races, two at 2 years including the time honoured the Listed Breeder’s Plate over 1000m at Royal Randwick. Being the first 2yo race of the Spring and has been won recently by the likes of Capitalist, Vancouver, Pierro, Sebring (all went onto win the Golden Slipper), as well as Smart Missile, Snitzel, Charge Forward and Choisir. At 3 he won the Magic Millions Sprint against older horses over 1100m and smashed the Gold Coast track record. At 4 he won another stakes race, the Listed BRC Lightening Hcp over 1050m.
In his first season with runners he finished a very credible 5th nationally by the number of winners ahead of many better and more expensive stallions. His oldest progeny are 3 year olds of 2019/20.
