HE was Australia’s highest priced yearling of his season, is a three-quarter brother to arguably one of this nation’s greatest ever mares Makybe Diva and will be soon standing at Darley’s Twin Hills property in Cootamundra.
Musket, brought for $2.5 million at the 2005 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sales, has won four of 14 races to date, accumulating more than $300,000 and will retire to the local property having finished sixth in this year’s Group One Doncaster Mile at Royal Randwick, beaten by just over a length by Vision and Power.
Musket will stand alongside feature stallions Domesday and Quest For Fame at Twin Hills, as well as one of Australia’s most popular racehorses Octagonal who covers mares on a request basis.
