Multiple Group 1 winning sprinter
Jungle Cat is an elite, multiple Group 1 winning sprinter with a pedigree perfectly suited to the genetics of our mare population. He is the highest rated stallion to retire to Queensland in over 20 years.
Jungle Cat was a high class 2yo performer and ultimately a record-breaking straight course sprinter. He smashed the Meydan 1200m track record in a sizzling 1:08.24 two starts prior to winning the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint where he defeated Breeders Cup Sprint winner at his next start, Stormy Liberal. Jungle Cat was able to land the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield under the top weight of 58kg, a feat matched only by the great Testa Rossa in the past 20 years.
Jungle Cat is the fastest son of globally significant sire and now sire of sires IFFRAAJ, sire of 10 Group 1 winners and 23 juvenile winners in 2018.

Sire
Iffraaj is a proven elite sire in both hemispheres with 10 Group 1 winners and counting including Jungle Cat, Ribchester, Gingernuts, Jon Snow and Turn Me Loose. Sire of 23 juvenile winners in season 2018, Iffraaj is an emerging prepotent influence with his French champion 2YO Wootton Basset already the sire of triple Group 1winning European champion Almanzor, and he is dam-sire of multiple Group 1 winning New Zealand champion 2YO Melody Belle.
Dam
Mike’s Wildcat is a descendant of breed-shaping influence Storm Cat. Jungle Cat combines two of the world’s great sirelines of Mr Prospector and Storm Cat in a pedigree free of Danehill and Danzig.

QTIS Stallion
In an era of high service fees rendering genuine quality stallions beyond the reach of many breeders, recent history casts a stallion with the profile of Jungle Cat in a new light. His record is uncannily similar to a recent success story of Queensland breeding in Spirit Of Boom.
