In a major coup for the harness racing breeding industry in New South Wales, Yirribee Pacing Stud have announced today that they are to import the equal fastest horse in history, Warrawee Needy p4, 1:46.4 ($1,255,384) to stand stud duty at Yirribee for the coming 2016/2017 breeding season. He is to stand at a realistic fee of $3,850 (inc GST)
Just when it looked like New South Wales would have virtually no stallions standing at stud with the moving of stallions Rock N Roll Heaven, Sportswriter and Roll With Joe from Pepper Tree Stud to Alabar in Victoria, Yirribee Pacing Stud want to fill that void by importing two new great stallions for the coming season, one still to be announced..
Warrawee Needy is the equal fastest horse in history at 1:46.4. He is the fastest four-year-old and aged horse in history.
Three–year-olds Somebeachsomewhere ($3,328,755) and He’s Watching ($1,129,215) are the only other two horses that have paced in 1:46.4.
Warrawee Needy has a strong pedigree close up. He is by E Dees Cam 1:48.3 ($869,207) a son of the great Cam Fella ($2,041,367) and is from an Apaches Fame ($1,763,740) mare out of an Armbro Emerson ($1,472,590) mare. This is an outcross pedigree that may prove to be essential in Australia and New Zealand in the years to come.
Warrawee Needy is a half-brother to Big Bay Point 1:49s ($526,935) and is from an unraced daughter of Save the Memories 1:52.4 ($304,285) who left Savor The Memory 1:52.1f ($677,246), Major Memory 1:51.2s ($312,697), Memory In Motion 1:53.2f (206,806) and So Many Memories ($85,907).
Save the Memories is a full sister to the dam of Rambaran 1:50.2s ($1,163,139), Cambaran ($295,893) and Idylwood Legend ($200,864) the dam of the champion two-year-old Lady Craceful ($1,113,376), Devils Ivy ($489,287), Princess Callie ($303,977) and several other good performers.
Rambaran 1:50.2s ($1,163,139) is now a very good sire in Canada leaving the winners of over $30,000,000 to date from just 660 foals born over 14 years. He is the sire of 7 in better than 1:50 and has produced 90 winners of over $100,000 to date including Ramegade Bruiser 1:49.4 ($1,196,776).
Warrawee Needy has a great race record becoming the fastest horse in the world at the Meadowlands rating 1:46.4 (as the hot favourite) in the $50,000 elimination of The William Haughton Memorial, beating Golden Receiver 1:48m ($2,211,643), the richest horse in history Foiled Again 1:48f ($7,416,382), Razzle Dazzle 1:49f ($1,017,899), Hugadragon 1:49.3f ($934,834), Sapphire City 1:49.4f ($1,160,317), A Rocknroll Dance 1:47.2s ($2,441,164), Our Lucky Chip 1:48.2s ($602,889) and Heston Blue Chip 1:48f ($1,779,373) in that order.
Heston Blue Chip finished last but still paced his mile in 1:48.3. The combined earnings of all the runners in that field was $18,253,498. That is an average of $2,028,166 for each runner.

Warrawee Needy is one of the greatest looking individuals you will ever see. He is already the sire of five yearlings from an experimental crop while racing.
Warrawee Needy won his last start on the half-mile track at Yonkers in 1:51.3 and the week before he was beaten a head in 1:50.4 a time very rarely ever run at Yonkers. The track record at Yonkers is 1:50.2.
Warrawee Needy is a very fast horse and has blistering speed as shown several times throughout his career. On his record he has produced winning last quarters in 25.4, 25.4 and 25.2. He has also left the gate in 25.2 a time that is rarely ever heard off. His very first lifetime start as a two-year-old he paced home officially in a spectacular 25.2. In the $1.5 million North American Cup Final as a three-year-old he paced his first quarter on the front end in 25.1 and got to the half in a sensational 52.4 before fading at the finish after those blistering fractions.
Warrawee Needy has paced ten winning miles in 1:49.4 or better. He has paced (his time) 27 miles in 1:49.4 or better to date.
He has it all;
Fastest horse in the world
He has over a million in the bank
A great looker
Sound as a bell
A great record on a half mile track
An out cross stallion for all mares in Australia.
