Tarzino (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}), winner of the G1 Victoria Derby and G1 Rosehill Guineas, will enter stud later this year at Westbury Stud in New Zealand, according to theinformant.co.nz. Tarzino will stand for NZ$15,000 for a syndicate headed by Westbury and part-owner Rosemont Stud. Trained by Mick Price, Tarzino won three of five starts during his spring 3-year-old campaign, culminating in the Victoria Derby. In the autumn he finished second, beaten a short head, in the G1 Australian Guineas two weeks prior to his Rosehill Guineas score, and he retires with four wins from 14 starts and earnings of A$1,647,050.
“He stood out in the Australian 3-year-old crop and that will stand to him,” Westbury General Manager Russell Warwick told The Informant. “We've seen it so much with Reliable Man where breeders will support him and buyers will want his progeny because they recognise the form, they appreciate it. He's a gorgeous type, which Mick Price, who is well known as a straight shooter, says is the reason he was attracted to him in the first place. He describes him as a replica of Zabeel–he has all those characteristics that made him such a good galloper.”
