DIGITAL AGE (IRE)

A Grade 1 winner of 5 races (1600-1800m), Digital Age earned over $1,2 million and the title of Top rated 4YO in the USA.

His sire INVINCIBLE SPIRIT needs little introduction – sire of sires Kingman, I’m Invincible, Territories, Lawman etc.

Digital Age is the first foal from young dam Willow View (a half sister to a Gr1 winner Cursory Glance), who already has 2 graded winners to her credit.

Broodmare sire Lemon Drop Kid is from the same family as Al Mufti, Wolfhound, Tiger Ridge, Duke Of Marmalade etc- making him a great fit for the South African broodmare band.

Digital Age is an outstanding looker, deep, strong, good quartered and very correct.
