Testa Rossa couldn't be travelling any better ahead of the 2012 yearling sales at the Gold Coast, the scene of his momentous Magic Millions win in 1999.

The Vinery Stud resident has finished fourth on the national sires rankings (by individual winners) in each of the past two seasons and with the 2011/12 season yet to reach it's halfway point he is sitting third behind Commands and Redoute's Choice.

Testa Rossa's 69 individual winners this season have won 93 races with the Peter Moody trained mare There's Only One contributing five of those.

Moody has enjoyed considerable success with the Testa Rossa breed including G1 SAJC Derby hero Testafiable and stakeswinners Panipique and Testascana.

"Testa Rossa sired eight stakeswinners last season and has sired five already this year and we are not halfway yet," Vinery Stud's Adam White said.

"The highlight was Ortensia, who won the G1 Winterbottom Stakes but it was also good to see the Melbourne four-year-olds Testascana and Testa My Patience measure up to stakes races.

"Pane In The Glass was the top rated 2YO filly of her year and won the Silver Shadow Stakes first-up while Ranger won two stakes races including the G3 Lee Steere Stakes this summer."

Testa Rossa is to be represented at next month's Magic Millions sale by 35 yearlings, including the full brother to Ortensia and the first foal of Peter Moody's grand mare Reggie.

"Testa Rossa yearlings always sell very well at the Gold Coast," White said.

"Ten of his 15 yearlings that have made $200,000 or more were sold at the Magic Millions.

"He is a super consistent stallion, he can get a two-year-old like Rostova, great milers and horses that can stay a bit.

"Testa Rossa has a winners-to-runners of more than 70 per cent, they are tough and can handle racing, which is why he is often referred to as the 'trainer's stallion."
