Lazarus - an absolute living legend who needs no introduction!
His legendary racing career was history making, winning $4.4 million in stakes!
Lazarus was simply sensational wherever he raced - winning 15 Group 1 races throughout Australasia before heading to North America where he won the $325,000 Dan Patch Pace on debut and the $177,000 Hoosier Pacing Derby, both wins in 1:48.8
As a sire, Lazarus continues to make waves, with his progeny in North America having now won over $12 million in earnings to-date, spear headed by the millionaire Voukefalas with a mark of 1:47.3. Lazarus currently has ten $250,000 plus earners, including the mare Two Pistol Annie and Handlelikeaporshe, and 34 $100,000 plus winners to-date. With an overage of $51,739 per foal born that are eligible to race and his average earnings per starter of $73,192, his oldest crop is 5yos in 2025.
In Australia, Lazarus has had 34 individual winners, including the $100,000 plus winners Nathan Street (Group 1 winner) and Grevis.
Lazarus only has small crops in New Zealand with just 18 4yo's, but 16 of them have already qualified with 10 winners including the exceptional Jeremiah ($157,030 to-date) and the extremely promising The Lazarus Effect (five starts to-date for 3 wins).
