Harry Got Styles' debut win at Cranbourne on Friday provided sire Harry Angel with a new three-year-old winner for the season and has propelled the son of Dark Angel into elite company.
Out of the Exceed And Excel mare, Caesura, Harry Got Styles was bred by Cornerstone Stud Farm and offered by Cannon Hayes selling to trainer Matt Laurie of Matt Laurie Racing at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
Thirty-two stallions in Australia have sired 200+ three-year-old runs in Australia this season, and he sits third by strike rate, winning 18% of the races they contest.
He stands out compared to the others at the fee this crop was conceived at.
