Tonneofgrit (2 g ex Istanford by Istan) broke his maiden at his second start on Sunday at Geelong and in doing so provided his young Newgate Farm-based sire Winning Rupert (Written Tycoon) with his sixth winner. 

Bred by SF Bloodstock, Tonneofgrit races in the colours of Rupert Legh and is the first foal of Grade 2 winner Istanford (Istan), whose second foal, a colt by Capitalist (Written Tycoon) sold for $150,000 at Magic Millions this year to Prime Thoroughbreds. Tonneofgrit was bought for $425,000 by Hawkes Racing at the 2020 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale from the draft of Newgate Farm and was the most expensive yearling by his sire to sell last year.  

Winning Rupert will stand for a fee of $11,000 (inc GST) this spring. His first crop includes the stakes placed filly Bolsonaro and he covered a book of 79 mares last year at a fee of $16,500 (inc GST).
