DIGITAL is one of the hottest young dogs in Ireland. He combines the best two sire
lines in Ireland. This 34kg black racing machine is a son of LARKHILL JO out of the SPIRAL NIKITA bitch, FROSTY ROSE
who is a litter sister to the brilliant LATE LATE SHOW. Just read this again and let it sink in.
DIGITAL at only his 9th start in a race he smashed the track record
at Thurles running 28.11 winning by 14 lens. The next fastest on the night was 28.76. CHARITY JACK also won on the
night in 29.03 and he held the previous track record at 28.28.
DIGITAL's time of 28.11 was just .03 outside PREMIER FANTASY’s National 525y record of 28.08.
The first round of the 2005 Irish Derby was only his 11th start in a race. At 2½ years old he was 6 months
younger than the big guns of that year, namely DROOPY’S MARCO, TYRUR TED, DROOPY'S MALDINI etc.
He was SECOND in the first round defeated a ½ head by TYRUR TED in 29.65 which was the fastest time of the night.
DROOPY'S MALDINI and DROOPY’S MARCO both went 29.77, while BLUE MAJESTIC went 29.83 and WESTMEAD HAWK went 29.98.
He WON the second round, defeating the eventual Derby winner, HE SAID SO by a head with the eventual Derby runner up, DROOPY'S MALDINI 3 lens away 3rd in 29.94.

DROOPY'S MALDINI was the fastest of the 4 semis in 29.57, with WESTMEAD HAWK going 29.66, DROOPY’S MARCO going 29.70.
He FELL in the Semi Final won by DROOPY’S MARCO when a 5/2 second favourite and the next week he ran THIRD in
the Derby Consolation as an even money favourite.
He WON his next start, which was his 17th and his last in November 2005 at just over 2½ years of age
when he defeated TYRUR TED in the Group 1 Waterford Masters by 2½ lengths.
DIGITAL cracked a metatarsal soon after and didn’t fully recover from the injury and
was subsequently put to stud while injury mended.

- YEAH MAN once for 1-0
- CAL’S TONIC twice for 2-0
- DROOPY'S MALDINI once for 1-0
- TYRUR TED twice for 1 all
- HE SAID SO once for 1-0
- BLUE MAJESTIC once for 1-0
- DISGUISED once for 1-0

months at stud while recovering from a broken metatarsal. He is now back in work for the Derby.
Frozen semen is available from this blue-blooded racing machine for just Au$1,650.
