PROGRESSIVE 3YO – READY TO WIN
We are delighted to offer shares in the ready-to-win proposition, Soundwave, an exciting three-year-old gelding by leading New Zealand sire Contributer.
In his only four starts in Australia (two 2nd’s, a 3rd and a 4th), we’ve seen Soundwave show the necessary ability to progress through the grades from 1200m-2000m. One of his most recent runs, a 2nd on June 29 (video below) highlights his talent, turn of foot and continued improvement.
Racing Opportunity
Following a very positive first racing preparation in Australia, Soundwave has laid the foundation to progress to city class in his four-year-old year. As an honest, progressive galloper with plenty of scope for further improvement, his plans would be directed towards a late spring/summer campaign.
Background, The Horse & His Pedigree
Purchased by OTI following a series of encouraging performances in New Zealand in 2025, Soundwave was placed with Emma-Lee and David Browne at Pakenham. Upon arriving in Australia late last year, the Browne’s recommended a patient approach, believing the horse would benefit from time to mature physically and mentally. That decision is now paying dividends.
Soundwave is by top New Zealand stallion Contributer and is the first foal out of Melodious, a full sister to Group 3 winner Quattro and multiple other winners.
His pedigree suggests he will continue improving with maturity and should comfortably run a strong 1600m–2000m during his three and four-year-old seasons. Everything we have seen so far indicates he is following that pattern.
Opportunities
Shares are available at $15,400 + GST for 10%, or $7,700 + GST for 5%, including all associated costs + insurance cover to July 31, 2026.
Soundwave offers owners an exciting opportunity to race a progressive young horse with city-class potential.
