Hussy’s Glow as a yearling

Stakes placed in the Listed Gold Sovereign Stakes

We have had quite an amazing run since the last edition of Prime Dispatch.  Hussy’s Glow, a $17,000 purchase from the 2015 Adelaide Magic Millions Sale ran a terrific 2nd in the TTC Gold Sovereign Stakes, Tasmania’s premier 2 year old race.  This certainly enhanced her value and she is currently the highest ranked yearling to come out of last year’s Adelaide sale. She heads to Adelaide for the $200,000 Magic Millions Adelaide Two Year Old Classic which we won last year with Atalanta Miss.

Winners, winners, winners!!! The ball really started rolling at Newcastle on Tuesday when Lomazzo put it together demolishing a highly credentialled maiden field in very fast time.  He was a $40,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Yarraman Park draft and while we shouldn’t get too carried away with a maiden win he was very, very impressive.  Well done to Tony McEvoy getting the horse to settle in his races and Jeff Penza kept his mind on the job.

On Wednesday Makeadane headed to Warwick Farm where he had to overcome a very difficult barrier draw but was up to the task destroying his opponents with a sustained display running fast sectionals througout the race.  Great ride from Christain Reith and a superb training performance from John Thompson.

On Thursday we headed to Pakenham with Atalanta Miss and she didn’t let us down running a terrific 2nd in an Adelaide Magic Millions sponsored race.  She won the 2015 Adelaide Magic Millions Classic for two year olds.  She is very popular with her owners and may well have a better record if not for poor barrier draws and bad luck in running.  Patrick Payne has done a sterling job with her.

On top of these great wins we had three of our two years olds trial or jump out in the past week with Isthmian winning by a country mile at Cessnock, Flying Jess winning by 6 lengths at Caulfield and Husson Boots winning by two at Deagon.  In the next couple of weeks we should see Invincible Al running, Hussy’s Glow in the $200,000 Magic Millions Classic in Adelaide, Isthmian running in a Metropolitan grade two year old at Gosford on St Patrick’s Day, Flying Jess at Moonee Valley on 14 March and Husson Boots at Ipswich on 16 March 2016.

I’m thrilled with the team we have assembled over the past four or five years and I am very confident we have the best team of horses of any syndication company in Australia.  Our horse keep getting to the races and keep winning races.  

ON THE TRACK

The next week is important for many of our runners with Savoureux heading the charge at Randwick on Saturday in the Group 3 Wenona Girl Stakes.  She is in the best shape of her career reeling off better sectionals by .8 of a second than Winx for her final 600m a couple of weeks ago at Randwick.

Also on Saturday we have the high class stakes winning mare Hijack Hussy running at Flemington.  This is her first run for Darren Weir.  We decided to move her to Darren after the Queensland Winter Carnival due to Eagle Farm being closed.  She is anything but a Doomben horse and needs plenty of ground to unleash her great sprint.

Tomorrow we have Invincible Me running at Donald, Hazy Blur resumes at Gosford on Saturday and Bella Venus has to overcome a tricky gate in Hobart on Sunday.  There are some nice chances amongst these runners.

Our team will take on a whole new demension with the two years olds stepping out.  To say I’m excited is an understatement.

YEARLINGS OF THE WEEK

Want to race a filly closely related to First Seal? 

I was thrilled for John Thompson when First Seal ran a race record to win at Rosehill on Saturday.  She is a super mare and had almost 12 months off after a bad hoof injury looked like finishing her career.  On Saturday she was brilliant.  

First Seal has met Winx on seven occasions, three times in trials and four times in races and Winx has never beaten her.  Draw your own conclusions but if she gets back to her best First Seal may well be the best mare in Australia.

Sebring – A Quiet Shandy John Moloney to train, Close relation to FIRST SEAL

The filly

The moment I saw this filly I thought I was looking at Unchain My Heart at a similar age.  They are very similar with this filly having a touch more scope.  She was reared at Edinburgh Park by Ian Smith who bred Silent Witness.  She has a strong hindquarter, attractive head and gets around nicely.  Her temperament is good and she had no issues when vetted.

It is hard to predict when she will get to the races but she is forward enough to suggest she may get up and going as a two year old and she is by Sebring who gets runners at all ages and distances from precocious two year olds through to Melbourne Cup horses.

I am expecting that she will get better with age which her pedigree suggests will be the case.

I AM INVINCIBLE FILLY OUT OF WELL RELATED MARE- DARREN WEIR TO TRAIN

The filly pictured above is a terrific filly by the outstanding young sire I Am Invincible from the well related mare Light Waves.  I rated her as equal or better than the other I Am Invincible fillies in the sale that fetched $145,000 and $155,000. She is a very good type of filly with a good hindquarter, great conformation and a attractive head. She is very deep in the girth which I really like.

She vetted out without any issues and was offered by Middlebrook Valley Lodge in the Hunter Valley.  The filly is Super VOBIS eligible and will be paid up for the rich scheme.

The filly is an October foal and will be broken in in March with a view to giving her every chance to run as a two year old.
