He went on to be placed in both the Gr.1 Hopeful S. and Gr.1 Champagne S. At three he took the Gr.2 Woody Stephens S. (by 5 lengths) and then defeated older sprinters in the Gr.2 Tom Fool Handicap. Munnings also won the Gr.2 Gulfstream Park Sprint Championship at four. From a first crop sired at only $12,500, Munnings has a highly impressive percentage of black-type winners, with the high-class I’m A Chatterbox and the Gr.1-winning sprinter El Deal heading his team of six first-crop Graded winners. He has maintained a high strike rate since with 25 black-type winners - an inspirational 13 per cent - among his 192 runners in his first three crops, sired at fees of $12,500 or less. Now his progeny from his $25,000 crops are coming on line, with some impressive 2YO stakes winners and his 2019 yearlings selling for up to $385,000. Munnings sired his first Gr.1 winner, that fine filly I’m A Chatterbox, from a grand-daughter of DANZIG and the Gr.3 winner Munny Spunt from a HARD SPUN mare, while Gr.3 winner Fancy Dress Party has a grandam by DAYJUR . This suggest daughters of WAR FRONT , LANGFUHR , EXCHANGE RATE and WAR CHANT could suit him. Munnings sired Gr.2 winner Om from a grand-daughter of STORM CAT , creating 4x3 to STORM CAT . He also has a Gr.2 winner out of a mare by Giant’s Causeway’s brother FREUD . This suggests more daughters and grand-daughters are worthwhile. The Holy Bull/Great Above blood in his pedigree should suit SCAT DADDY mares. Munnings’ early results suggest he has a future with mares descending from SADLER’S WELLS and his close relative NUREYEV . He has a Gr.2 winner with a dam by EL PRADO and a Gr.3 winner out of a MEDAGLIA D’ORO mare. Munnings has another Listed winner with a dam by Sadler’s Wells’ on PERFECT SOUL . THEATRICAL , a son of NUREYEV , is broodmare sire of Gallery and sire of the second dam of Free Rose. The NIJINSKY branch of the NORTHERN DANCER male line also comes into the picture, as Munnings has a Gr.3 winner with a dam by SKY CLASSIC . His 2019 juvenile SWs include those with dams by TAPIT and his sire PULPIT . 55
