Hvasstan
11/10/2009 - 15/8/2024
It was with much heartache that we had to make the devastating decision to put Stan to rest. He had a large benign tumor surgically removed in January. But in July we found a second tumor. We had been monitoring it closely with our vet team, as it was inoperable. Sadly he deteriorated rapidly yesterday. So with all our love we sent him over the rainbow bridge. Where he can rest in peace, but will be forever missed!
HVASSTAN is the Group 3 winning son of FASTNET ROCK, sire of over 130 stakes winners including ATLANTIC JEWEL, MOSHEEN, SHOALS, SEA SIREN, MERCHANT NAVY and FOXWEDGE.
Champion Coolmore Stud shuttler FASTNET ROCK (DANEHILL) is a growing influence as a sire of sires. HVASSTAN and YOUR SONG arrived in the same crop while FOXWEDGE and HINCHINBROOK are a year or two older than the SUNSPEED newcomer.
HVASSTAN’s dam Snow Hero (TRUE HERO) won 7 races and earned black-type for Clarry Connors when runner-up a LR Millie Fox Stakes at Rosehill. And there’s a couple of connections to a legendary WA stallion further back in her pedigree.
Second-dam Samoan Moon is a daughter of Haulpak and is a three-quarter sister to COAL PAK, a son of HAULPAK who travelled to Melbourne to win a G1 Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield.
HVASSTAN was highly successful on the track winning the Group 3 MRC Norman Robinson Stakes beating HONORIUS and Electric Fusion. HVASSTAN was also placed in the Listed VRC Super Impose Plate behind PHILIPPI.
HVASSTAN had a promising Group 1 record as a 3yo with unlucky close up 4th’s in the Victoria Derby and Australian Guineas subsequently behind FIVEANDAHALFSTAR, FERLAX (NZ) and YOU’RE SO GOOD (NZ).
HVASSTAN has produced winners which include: Tin Chooks (Stakes Winner) Beermullah Bantu Bay, Cracker Essgee, Moonan Me, Ollie's Stand, Spirit of the Valley, The Marg Factor and multiple placegetters!
