Lago Delight

Lago Delight was a brilliant, talented racehorse,
becoming a metropolitan winner at two years
of age and a Group winner at three years of age.

A natural runner with an explosive burst of speed
saw him run 57.65 on a slow track at his 2yo first
start at Flemington over 1000m winning by
almost three lengths.

The Mitchell McKenzie stakes at Moonee Valley
was Lago Delight's second start and again he
won convincingly, clocking the same time that
multiple Group 1 winner Yell ran that day when
winning the G1 McEwan Trophy - a brilliant effort
by a young, up-and-coming star.

Three weeks later Lago Delight ran a gallant 2nd by a nose in the second fastest G2 Ascot Vale Stakes
(now Group 1) ever run - a blistering 1.08.8 finishing lengths ahead of Dilly Dally (third) Face Value, Keep
the Faith and Roedean.

Quality Bloodlines & Group Winners Galore!
Lago Delight truly has the qualities of a superb sire - natural speed, terrific power and impeccable
genes, being the son of Australian Champion Sire Encosta De Lago and of Group Winning race mare
and Group Winning producer, Sweet Delight, daughter of Champion Sprinter and Sire Rancho Ruler.
Furthermore, Sweet Delight's 1st and 2nd Dams have only produced winners.

Lago Delight's older half brother Tycoon Ruler (by Last Tycoon) was a dual metropolitan 2yo winner and
also a Group player in his three year old year, with 2nd placings in the G1 Australian Guineas, the G2
Alister Clark Stakes and the G3 C.S. Hayes Stakes. At four years of age Tycoon Ruler capped off a
stellar career with wins in the Rupert Clark Stakes (L) and Bill Adams Stakes (L) and is now at stud in
Queensland. At present, Tycoon Ruler's progeny boasts a remarkable 66% winners to runners.

Full brother Raffaello has also tasted Group success with a third placing in the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes
(G1) and fast finishing second placings in the WFA Eagle Farm Cup (G2) and Easter Cup (G3).
Raffaello, the winner of 9 races, has amassed an impressive $531,435 prizemoney.

Progeny Success
Lago Delight's progeny are certainly performing as expected with 81 individual winners of 153 races
and in excess of $2.55 million. Just like his super grandsire Rancho Ruler, Lago Delight is well known as
an outstanding sire of consistent, tough racehorses.

Of his 81 indivdual winners, his progeny include the outstanding Shylight, winner of the Auraria Stakes
(G3) 1800m, Palzago - 3rd Blue Diamond Prelude (LR) , and multiple winners Marconi, Jugahlation,
