This young colt has big shoes to fill! His sire is the multiple graded stakes winner Coltimus Prime and his dam is the 2014 CTHS Alberta Two Year Old Sales Stake winner, Shanali. Shanali is the daughter of the multiple stakes winner, Shaniah, who won the 1997 Sales Stake and went on to win numerous stakes races including the Bird of Pay Stakes, the Lilac Handicap and the Penny Ridge Handicap.
