Wooded scored a huge pedigree update over the weekend with his 2yo full brother Bucanero Fuerte winning the Gr.1 Phoenix Stakes by 4 lengths!
“I think Bucanero Fuerte is a serious horse.
That’s three runs and three wins here, he’s the horse of a lifetime.”
– Adrian Murray, Trainer
“He’s an exceptionally nice horse, he’s just so uncomplicated. It’s nice to know that we go in next year with a nice Guineas prospect.”
– Kevin Stott, Jockey
The Phoenix Stakes is a Gr.1 1200m race for 2yo’s, just like the Golden Slipper & Blue Diamond.
A race previously won by ex-Swettenham sire & the 2022-23 leading Victorian first season sire Sioux Nation.
Interesting fact – Wooded’s older Stakes placed brother Beat Le Bon had one start in Australia. He ran 6th in the inaugural Golden Eagle, defeating the likes of Brutal, Jonker & Classique Legend while running a faster last 400m than Sunlight, Mizzy & Arcadia Queen.
After the first run of stallion parades last week, WOODED was the horse that had the breeder’s talking!
“It is no secret that we love European blood. We have been heavy supporters of Toronado and it’s paid dividends and we are very confident that Wooded can do the same. He has great shape, movement and wonderful feet. Wootton Bassett is a world class stallion so there is only upside in Wooded.”
– Toby Liston, Three Bridges Thoroughbreds
Toby Liston has since booked 8 mares to Wooded for the upcoming breeding season.
What the others had to say;
“Wooded is a specimen. An awesome opportunity for Victorian breeders.”
“I already loved him because he got my mare in foal that no other stallion could, but WOW – he moves with purpose.”
“The ideal physical for Australian speed mares, and he’s a Gr.1 winning outcross
by arguably the hottest sire in the world. It’s a no brainer at $22,000.”
Mares already booked to Wooded include;
Gr.1 winner Princess Jenni
Gr.3 winner Adorabeel
Stakes producer Lady Millions, a 1/2 to multiple Gr.2 winner Haut Brion Her
Snitzel & Hinchinbrook’s 1/2 sister Royal Snippets
El Daana, the dam of Gr.1 winner Al Muthana
Is your mare hard to get in foal?
Nothing frustrates breeders more than sub fertile stallions and mares.

Don’t wait until it’s too late this season.
Fact: 19 of Wooded’s first 20 covers last season resulted in positive pregnancies.

The Group II Railway Stakes (6f) at The Curragh on Sunday for juvenile colts produced a quinella for Wootton Bassett with Bucanero Fuerte edging out the race favourite Unquestionable.
The Adrian Murray trained Bucanero Fuerte won on debut at The Curragh back in March and then finished third at Royal Ascot in the Group II Coventry Stakes behind another Wootton Bassett colt in River Tiber.
Ridden by Rossa Ryan, Bucanero Fuerte challenged hard at the finish to score a head win over the Aidain O’Brien trained Unquestionable with four lengths back to the next horse.
“I knew Bucanero Fuerte would battle because he needs every yard of 6f. He’s a tough horse, really tough. He’s a beautiful-looking horse too and, you know what, he’s going to improve again. When he won his maiden he was only a shell of a horse. He is twice the horse now than he was then. Please God, we will be back here again for the G1 Phoenix Stakes,” said Adrian Murray.
Purchase for €165,000 from the Arqana August Deauville Yearling Sale by Robson Aguiar, Bucanero Fuerte runs in the Amo Racing colours.
He is a full brother to Wootton Bassett’s Group I winning sprinter Wooded (IRE), who covered 84 mares at Swettenham Stud in Victoria last spring and is slated to return at a fee of $22,000 this year.
Bucanero Fuerte is also a full brother to Group III place Beat le Bon being one of four winners from good producer Frida la Blonde, a sibling to stakes-winners Fred Lalloupet and Mon Pote le Gitan.

He is the 35th stakes-winner for Wootton Bassett, who returns to Coolmore Australia this spring at a fee of $93,500.
Resolute Racing’s Woodshauna gives Al Shaqab’s Wooded a first Group 1 winner

The Francis Graffard-trained three-year-old was carrying the colours of John Stewart’s Resolute Racing for the first time, with the operation having bought the colt for £625,000 from Al Shaqab at last month’s Goffs […]
