Helmet’s record-breaking three-parts brother. The second best juvenile colt of his year. The best at two and three by Commands. Second to Black Caviar when just three. Won the G1 Doomben 10,000 at three from eight G1 winners, and the G1 Golden Rose in a fast time. His first crop yearlings sell now for up to $260,000.

‘We have a quality Epaulette colt out of Exquisite. It is the best foal the mare has produced.’

Epaulette half-sister to a G3 winner, out of a half-sister to the dam of a G2 winner by Commands

‘We had three Epaulettes born on the farm and they all ooze quality and look like athletes. They are growing out really well and have a lot of class about them.’

‘Epaulette has put a lot of quality into the mares that we have bred to him. We are very happy with what has been produced as they have good size, strength and temperaments. Epaulette has given us outstanding results.’

Epaulette out of a half-sister to a G2 winner

‘As a breeder you couldn’t ask for a nicer type. He (Epaulette/Chula Vista colt) should furnish into a quality sale yearling.’

‘We have five Epaulette weanlings at Murrulla. They are all good types and I couldn’t fault any of them.’

Epaulette out of a half-sister to G1 winner Denman

‘I am very impressed with my Dawn Approach foals and I am equally pleased with the Epaulettes – they are consistent types. I would be happy to use both stallions again this season on the strength of the foals I have had at Monarch.’

‘Based on what I have seen, both Epaulette and Dawn Approach throw you an outstanding type. Ours are nice and correct with good bone.’
