Columbus Updates Female Family for Kaphero |
|
Wednesday, 09 June 2010 |
|
THE already outstanding merit of the family that produced Kaphero, one of the young sires at Adam Sangster’s Swettenham stud in Victoria, was added to when his three-quarter Redoute’s Choice brother Columbus won on debut at Flemington on Saturday. It was an effort that suggests that Columbus, bred by Peter Devitt, Les Gordon and trainer David Hayes, will live up to his $1.2million dollar Magic MillionsGold Coast yearling sale price and become not only a quality racehorse but a very valuable sire prospect. 2009 MM Yearling  Columbus He is the sixth winner for the first class Centaine sprinter-miler Kapchat, herself a winner of six races, including the Group 1 STC Winfield Classic and Group 2 MVRC Laurent Perrier, and runner up in the MRC Thousand Guineas, VRC Edward Manifold Stakes and AJC Surround Stakes. The best of her five stakes performers – two winners and three placed - has been Kaphero, a tough fleetfooted performer by Danzero, a Golden Slipper winner and sire of a Golden Slipper winner. In earning $800,000, the eye catching bay Kaphero won ten metropolitan sprint races. He took out three of his first four starts at two, including the MRC Blue Diamond Preview and the Adelaide Magic Millions (by four lengths), and later succeeded in five successive races as favourite in Melbourne, including the MVRC Ian McEwen Stakes. The fifth of the sequence, the McEwen, was followed at his next outing by a half length third as favourite in the Group1 Manikato at Moonee Valley. Kaphero, Columbus and the other foals out of Kapchat have maintained the tradition of the immediate family for continually throwing up good horses. Kapchat is one of two stakes winners from Kapelle Lady, a good class New Zealand performer who was a half-sister to Hunza, a Pakistan VRC Bloodhorse Breeders’ Plate winner and wonderful matriarch. Hunza produced eight winners including champion Courtza (by Pompeii Court; won both the Golden Slipper and Blue Diamond, also the Ascot Vale Stakes), her brothers Our Pompeii (seven wins including the Adelaide Cup twice, South Australian Derby, Sandown Cup) and Hunza Court (five wins, VRC Chester Manifold Stakes, second MVRC C.S. Hayes Stakes) and half-brothers Lost Valley (16 wins, STC Canterbury Cup), Fixed Flush (15 wins, BATC Doomben Stakes, Townsville Cup) and Hunza’s Ace (13 wins, third VRC Australian Guineas). Courtza has added a new dimension to the family in producing to Last Tycoon the dual Group 1 winner and VRC Australian Guineas second O’Reilly. He is now one of New Zealand’s best sires. It is family which has made a big contribution to both Australia and New Zealand, tracing back to Kriemhild (Kaphero’s sixth dam), a sister to Wotan (won Melbourne Cup), Peter Jackson (two New Zealand St Legers, Moonee Valley Cup) and Gaine Carrington (Caulfield Cup, dead heat third Melbourne Cup).Their grandam Lovelorn is ancestress of Danzero. Available for use in 2010 at a fee of $11,000 or in Swettenham’s early booking reward, $7,000, Kaphero started his stud career last year with a book of 75, only three of which have been returned as missing.

Jeune's Sire the source of Our Baby's grey hair. |
|
Friday, 04 June 2010 |
|
ALTHOUGH Jeune, the deceased imported winner of the1994 Melbourne Cup and successful Lindsay Park stud sire, was a chestnut, his sire Kalaglow was a grey and his dam was a bay or brown. This suggests that the grey genes lay unexposed in Jeune’s physiology. If Jeune had shown up as a grey, it would not have been surprising as both parents of Kalaglow’s sire, Kalamoun and Khairunissa, were grey and Kalamoun’s grandsire Grey Sovereign is a mainstay of the colour in modern breeding. Some of Grey Sovereign’s descendants only got grey offspring, an exception being Kalaglow, a sire who was about 60-40 for greyness. It is a strike rate that Dash for Cash, a grey who inherited the colouring down from his grandam, the Kalaglow mare Gulet, is not far behind in replicating. It has been transmitted on in the colouring of Dash for Cash’s latest budding star Our Baby Bonus, a 3-year-old grey gelding in the Mick Price stables at Caulfield who appears to be rocketing towards stakes success. A short priced favourite on each occasion, he has won all his four outings in fine style, including a1000m event at Moonee Valley on Saturday. Sold through Phoenix Broodmare Farm, Euroa for $42,500 at the Melbourne Autumn yearling sale, Our Baby Bonus is from Mother to Be, a Tasmanian winner by the American bred sire Dance Floor and from a grandaughter of Golden Slipper winner Vivarchi. Mother to Be is one of the great sale bargains, costing Our Baby Bonus’s breeder R. Hughes only $600 at an Inglis mare sale in 2001. Also her dam, the Nassipour winner Vasadanya was sold at mare sales in New Zealand in 2003 for $5,750 and at 19 in 2006 for only $100 (one hundred dollars). Our Baby Bonus is a representative of the third crop of Dash for Cash, one of the eight sires available for 2010 at Adam Sangster’s Swettenham Stud at Nagambie in Victoria and one who to date has had 123 individual winners and earners of $6.5million. There are six black type money earners among the impressive tally of 70 winners in his first crop, headed by the Waterhouse trained Bank Robber, a winner of five races, including a Group 3 and 2 stakes, and collector of four Group1 cheques, seconds in the AJC Epsom and Doomben BTC Cup, third in the VRC Victoria Racing Club Stakes and fourth in the VRC Cantala Stakes. Another Group1 performer in the first crop has been Extension of Time, runner up in the Caulfield Thousand Guineas. He has had winners in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth and also in New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Korea. Dash for Cash was a magnificent racehorse bred at Emirates Park, Murrurundi, Hunter Valley using their imported now deceased AJC Doncaster Handicap winner Secret Savings, a grandson of Mr. Prospector, and Gulistan, a daughter of Rubiton and the England produced Kalaglow mare Gulet. In earning just under $2millon, Dash for Cash secured six first two Group1 cheques, wins in the MRC Futurity Stakes and VRC Australian Guineas and seconds in the AJC Doncaster, All Aged Stakes, STC George Ryder Stakes and MVRC William Reid Stakes. He is an imposing looker who, besides the grey colouring, throws a lot to Kalaglow, himself typical of the Grey Sovereign influence, and is a sire who appeals as a very good medium for descendants of Danzig sires, including Danehill and Swettenham based Bianconi. Poised to be represented this month at Royal Ascot in England by his Widden stud bound son Nicconi, Bianconi is the current leading Victorian sire by earnings and numerically Both Dash for Cash (fee $14,500 or for early applicants $10,000) and Bianconi ($10,000 and $8,500) appear two of the best value sires available for 2010. In fact from all the Swettenham sires, the most expensive of which are the imported overseas Group1 winners Host (by Hussonet; $14,500 and $9,500) and Soldier’s Tale (Stravinsky; $14,500 and $10,000). All fees include GST. (Reprint from Brian Russell - Australian Thoroughbred)

Alittlebitofmonica In My Life |
|
Thursday, 27 May 2010 |
|
Alittlebitofmonica by Court Of Jewels from Political Pet won the Gosford 2YO A$16k 1100m from 12 other 2YO’s. This extremely well named filly is a half-sister to Morosi who is similarly well named. The 2YO Bay filly had a first and a second at the Metropolitan trials before she put the writing on the wall with a close debut fourth at Hawkesbury in an Open Maiden. In this debut race she was tardy away and hung in significantly so the experience should have done her the world of good. Alas, the confidence of Marc Connors was surely tested when the filly again missed the start this time by about 3L. However, her class told and despite the heavy track she rounded up the field in good style although still quite green. She went onto a 1.25L win that was full of promise and looking at the very strong bodied filly you would think she would be better suited on a dry track. The Court Of Jewels filly was bred by Jan Lonie who had success with her great Bianconi galloper and now sire Mr Martini when he was trained by this fillies trainer Marc Connors. Alittlebitofmonica in my life was also welcomed into this world by her co-breeder and still owner Mark Geraghty from Geraghty Bloodstock in Qld. A number of breeders have been very happy with the resultant foal they have derived form a mating to Court Of Jewels. His Group 2 winning filly Adaline has shown he can get a really good horse and a few have now made it to Hong Kong for big money. His Early Bird fee in 2010 of $4000 incl GST should ensure he has reasonable custom again. (IR) |

Well That Was Something ... |
|
Thursday, 20 May 2010 |
|
Socks won the Tasmanian Sire’s Produce Stakes a $50,000 feature race at the Launceston night meeting on Thursday 20th May in absolutely scintillating fashion. The story from his previous win has not changed. He just simply proved he is a very good horse and an absolute credit to his trainer, jockey, breeder and sire. - Ridden more forward because of track conditions.
- Minimum 3 wide all the way after 4 wide early.
- No cover for entire race.
- Forced to make his run 3 wide on the corner.
- Two placegetters sitting off him, getting a soft cart into the race.
- A lovely frame on a still immature 2YO.
- Green, untapped with the extravagant floating action that his sire had.
Socks toughed it out down the straight for an exciting win and the mantle of Tasmania’s best 2YO. Four starts, four wins (undefeated) plus 3 trial wins; not a bad season for any 2YO. Earnings $106,225. (IR) |
