Auckland, NZ – Captaintreacherous, the former outstanding American 2-year-old and 3-year-old of the Year and the leading juvenile sire in America with his first two crops, was represented by his first ‘down under’ winner in the 2-year-old colt It’s All About Faith.

A member of the Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen barn, the colt led most of the way in the first heat of the Breckon Farms Young Guns in a slick 1:56.4 at Alexandra Park, on Friday night (Dec. 13).

It’s All About Faith, who was having his first start, clocked 56.3 for the last and 28.3 for the final quarter.

Captaintreacherous had three runners in the nine-horse field in It’s All About Faith first, Platinum Stride fourth and Captain Nemo eighth.

It’s All About Faith is out of the Group 1 winning Christian Cullen mare Veste (1:57.1), who has left four winners – all inside 1:58 – from four starters, and is a member of the same maternal family as the dual New Zealand Cup winner Il Vicolo, Gotta Go Cullen and Stunin Cullen, all million dollar winners.
