2019 Victoria Cup
“He’s just an utter professional, just a brilliant racehorse”
– Luke McCarthy
2017 Hunter Cup
Bling It On is the Richest Australian bred son of American Ideal and out of the triple Australian Broodmare of the Year Alldatglittersisgold. The outstanding broodmare is a producer dam of eight winners and three Group race winners, who have won 129 races between them to date and together a massive $3.4 million in prizemoney. Her progeny includes Miracle Mile champion and half-sister Baby Bling, who was retired with 21 wins and 10 placings from 55 starts and career earnings of $854,490. And a full brother Bletchley Park, the fastest ever 2YO colt or gelding in Australia over a distance greater than a mile with career earnings of $403,528.
Bling It On raced the top echelon of Australian Harness Racing throughout his illustrious career. His racing record was world class, he was an elite horse from the age of two. He was able to capture 18 Group race victories from his 100 race starts, of which he won an amazing 49 races. His six Group One wins included the Seymour Nursery Stakes and the Breeders Crown as a two-year-old, the Queensland Derby at three years, the Gold Coast Cup at five, the AG Hunter Cup at six and finally, the Victoria Cup at nine, an outstanding longevity throughout a seven-year period.
To highlight the class of this top racehorse and now sire, Bling It On was crowned New South Wales and Australian two-year-old and three-year-old pacer of his year as well as New South Wales Horse of the Year in 2017.
As a 7yo he bounced back off the canvas after suffering a near career ending injury as the result of a race fall. He returned to the track with three consecutive victories, including two wins in what was his equal best race time.
While injured in the 2017/18 breeding season the son of American Ideal stood at stud for an introductory year and served 92 mares. His fertility stood the test with 63 live foals (68%).
After being cantankerous in his paddock and after a thorough assessment of his leg injury a decision was made to put him back into work for the 2019/20 racing season. He would only race if he was able to compete in the top echelon.
At his first start back in 15 months he scorched around Menangle in a new personal best of 1:50.2.
After that career-best performance and only second up fresh from “retirement” he showed he had lost none of his brilliance in rounding up the Group 1 field and taking the opening Grand Circuit event of the season where he was triumphant in the Victoria Cup, smashing the track record and running a world record 1:51.5 mile rate over the distance of 2000m-2999m, it was the perfect comeback story!
Added to that list of impressive victories is that he set world records over 2128 metres (1.52.4) and 2240 metres (1.51.5) and is the current record holder for the 2138 distance at Albion Park and Goulburn’s 2240 metre trip.
Bling It On was also noted for his incredible point to point speed and on ten occasions at Menangle and twice at Melton he has won under 1:52.0.
“He is just a great horse to all of us involved. His first 2 year old start he won, after that we knew we had something special. And for him to be racing at this level now, he has came through at 2, 3, 4, 5 and now as a 6 year old to win a Hunter Cup and put his earning well over one and a half million dollars. Its just a credit to the horse and this is why we are in the industry and why we get out of bed to work the horses everyday its because of horses like this”
– Luke McCarthy
He was a champion on the racetrack and now Bling It On looks set to prove that he will carry his class into the breeding barn. It has been said that Bling It On’s traits have been forwarded onto his progeny and an analysis of his performance on the racetrack proves that what Bling It On’s progeny are showing on the track should be of no real surprise.
To date Bling It On has sired 77 individual starters for 51 individual winners, with earnings over $1.3 million just from two crops.
The star daughter, Madrid has been a standout since bursting onto the scene as a two-year-old. In her short career the now four-year-old mare has won 16 races from 27 race starts with two Group Ones and two Group 3’s as well as a close second in the Group One NSW Oaks to her name. Madrid has banked over $350,000 for her connections and has recorded a slick mile rate of 1:51.8MS making her the richest and fastest progeny of Bling It On. The star filly has been crowned the NSW 2YO Filly of the Year and NSW 3YO Filly of the Year.
*** Stats as of May 2023
Madrid – Photo Credit Club Menangle
A proven Group One sire from his debut crop, Bling It On sired twenty-four starters for eleven individual winners for the 2021 season. And on the breeding side of things incredibly enough that ten of these winners are from individual broodmare sires.
His progeny ticked over $260,800 in earnings for their first season, with an average of $10,869 per starter. His very first starter FINERY won at her first race at Bathurst and amazingly another five of Bling It On’s progeny all went on to win on debut as well.
The standout of his offspring for the season, was the exciting filly Madrid. Who had six starts for the season and won five of those and placing in her other. Madrid won her second start at Club Menangle winning the Group 3 APG GOLD SOVEREIGN 2YO FILLIES race by 29.2 metres and a nice mile rate of 1:54.4. She then went onto become Bling It On’s first Group One winner when she won the NSW BREEDERS CHALLENGE 2YO FILLIES FINAL in a fast mile rate of 1:51.9. This victory also made her the fastest 2YO filly in NSW this season. After this stellar season for Madrid, she was crowned the NSW 2YO Filly of the Year.
After an incredible season watching his first crop hit the racetrack, the colonial stallion finished third on the First Crop Sires Australian National Premiership against some exciting sires.
