“Calyx always had that rare brilliance you only see in champions. He’s very fast and a gorgeous-looking horse with a lovely mind” – trainer, John Gosden
“I was particularly impressed with Calyx when I saw him at Coolmore. He looks very much like a typical Australian speed horse with a powerful hindquarter, deep girth and sharp action. His pedigree and profile are ideal for Australia and he’s a great value sire. I’ll be supporting him this season.” – Glenn Burrows, Willow Park Stud
