The Good Surprise!
He wasn't necessarily the most eagerly-awaited first crop sire and yet Stunning Spirit created a bit of a surprise in 2024 with his first 2yo. With only seven offspring on the track, he managed to produce Stunning Angel (two times Class 2 winner) and Pastisse, fillies who were three times winners at 2!
