Wandjina to join Dissident at Newgate

Monday 20 April 2015, 1:42pm

Dissident and Wandjina, first and second in the All Aged Stakes, will stand alongside each other at Newgate Farm.

Saturday's Group One race at Randwick heralded the end of Dissident's career while Australian Guineas winner Wandjina could be headed to Royal Ascot.

The Peter Mooody-trained Dissident staked his claim for Horse of the Year honours with his fourth Group One win of the season and his fifth overall.

Gai Waterhouse has the Diamond Jubilee at the Royal Ascot meeting in June as a target for Wandjina, a Snitzel half brother to Inspiration, winner of the 2008 International Sprint in Hong Kong.

"He was the fastest yearling I had and then the fastest two year-old, but it has taken until now to put it altogether," Waterhouse said.

"The speed is something they have to have though and he has it."

Dissident is by 2009 Golden Slipper winner Sebring.

Service fees will be announced for the pair later this year when they join Newgate's foundation stallion Foxwedge, Sizzling, Eurozone and The Factor.
