NICCONI x PERSUASIVE (GELDING)

Sired by NICCONI, one of Australia’s most reliable sources of elite sprinting talent. With more than 650 winners and 30 stakes winners, he is the sire of world champion sprinter Nature Strip, along with high-class performers such as Graceful Girl, Sircconi, Faatinah and Niccanova. His progeny are sought after for their natural speed, athleticism and competitiveness.

The dam, PERSUASIVE (by Darci Brahma), was a tough and genuine racemare who won five races between 1200m and 1400m. She hails from a proven black-type family and is already producing results, including 2024–25 winner Powerofpersuasion, along with other promising young runners. She is also a three-quarter sister to Singapore stakes performer Darci Charmer, further strengthening the page.

This pedigree traces back to one of New Zealand’s finest female lines through SARWATCH, the NZ Bloodstock Filly of the Year and multiple Group winner, and ultimately to champion filly RIVERINA CHARM, a four-time Group 1 winner. This is a family renowned for producing sound, competitive racehorses capable of performing at the highest level.
