Purchased unraced at the 2021 Breeze Ups for just 17,500gns, he is by Mehmas. Read all about his sire here: http://www.tallyhostud.com/mehmas.

Mehmas is already a record-breaking stallion and imparts both lightning-fast speed and Group class quality into his progeny, precisely what he was himself during his racing career. It’s both notable and remarkable, just how precocious and hardy his progeny seem to be, on the track. He’s already established himself as producing horses who carry the label “has a Mehmas head carriage” denoting determination and tenacity. The stride patterns of his offspring are both lengthy and raking and cover plenty of ground and Silky Wilkie certainly has all of these traits!
