Background

edit

Brazen Beau was bred in Canberra by Group 1 winning jockey and trainer Bernie Howlett. Howlett won the Group 1 Sydney Cup as a jockey in 1959 aboard On Line and the 1961 Cup with Sharply. As a trainer he won the 1996 Doomben 10,000 with Suntain.

Howlett raced and owned Brazen Beau's mother Sansadee who won three races, with her best result a third placing in the 2003 Black Opal Stakes behind Handsome Ransom and Exceed And Excel.[3]

Howlett decided to support Yarraman Park Stud's first season sire I Am Invincible and sent his mare Sansadee to the stallion. After Brazen Beau was born he was sold by Howlett for $70,000 at the 2013 Inglis Classic Yearling sale.[4] He was purchased by Grant Morgan of Ontrack Thoroughbreds, and the colt was syndicated to a group of 38 owners from across Australia.

Brazen Beau finished his racing career in England. He raced on two occasions, finisishing second in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes when ridden by Craig Williams and seventh in the July Cup when ridden by James Doyle at his last ever race start.[6]
