THE RUN CONTINUES

Terra Amata was very impressive winning at Warwick Farm on Wednesday which came on the back of her very good win at Canterbury.  She really has hit a purple patch of form with this win being her 7th win from 24 starts with 10 placings.  She was very well handled early in her career by Charlie Goggin who recommended we move her to Kris after the Tasmanian Summer Carnival completed early this year.

 was thrilled when Bella Venus came out and scored a dominant win on resuming in Hobart on Sunday.  We have high expectations for her and hopefully she will head to the classic three year old races in the Carnival. We have a nice team of horses with Charlie and Leuella and should make a splash or two as the carnival progresses.

SYNDICATION OF THE WEEK

HUSSON COLT OUT OF POPLARS - TONY GOLLAN TO TRAIN

Husson has continued to punch above his weight with Lucky Hussler’s effort to be beaten in a photo in the Group 1 Emirates Stakes an outstanding effort.  I see Peron is nominated in Perth for the

WATC Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes and Lucky Hussler may well run in the WATC Group 1 Railway Stakes.  If I owned him he would be getting ready for the ATC Group 1 Doncaster!

Husson x Poplars Colt

This colt is strong well balanced athlete with great bone and good conformation.  In my opinion he was almost as good a colt as was in the Patinack Dispersal and represented great value when I purchased him.  We rated him just behind the two top selling colts in the sale.  He may well be the best valued buy from the sale.

He is a great walking colt with a great swagger and looks like a racehorse which is a common trait through the nice colts by Husson.  They are well balanced horses.

Husson

The colt is by Hussonet’s best son at stud in Husson and is a product of a very potent cross with Husson’s sire Hussonet only having four Snippets (Pins sire) mares going to him for four stakes winners including our smart two year old Huiskes.  The other three are Husson Lightning (successful sire in WA), Rio Carnival and Girl Hussler.

The results for Pins mares going to Husson is also very positive with two winners in Man Of Melody and Morals from just two to race.

It should be remember Hussonet came to Australia as a relatively old horse with his first crop of yearlings in Australia being born in 2004. his first crop in Chile were dropped in 1995. He is a super stallion and was brought to Australia by John Messara.

I have a very good filly with Tony Gollan named Hijack Hussy by Hussonet out of a Redoute's Choice mare. She was a sensational winner at the Gold Coast last Saturday and heads to Melbourne to run at Flemington. The only other Hussonet filly I purchased was the stakes winner Huiskes out of a Snippets mare.

Poplars (NZ)

Poplars is a daughter of the very good racehorse and sire Pins by Snippets.  I have highlighted the results achieved by Pins daughters going to Husson and Snippets mares going to Hussonet.

Pins is proving to be a very good broodmare sire with 108 winners from 183 starters including the high class colt Brambles as well as High Fashion, Golden Archer, Dowager Queen, Asavant, Lopov and Dugan.

Pins represents the best colonial bloodlines on offer in Australia with his sire Snippets, a Champion Broodmare Sire being by Champion Broodmare sire Lunchtime out of a Kaoru Star mare No Finer.  Kaoru Star was the sire of the great Luskin Star and himself a great sire of Brodmares..

It is of no surprise Pins daughters are doing the job at stud.  Poplars has had just the one to race with the filly named Craw winning two races.
