CAPTAINTREACHEROUS and STAY HUNGRY – what a week it’s been!
A new winner for STAY HUNGRY with two-year-old gelding Stay Mysterious (bred by G Willis, D Reynolds, and W& B Barker) taking a massive 22m win at Parkes, a double on the card for the sire with filly Im Starving (L & J Whish-Wilson) claiming her second salute. Fellow three-year-olds Lochinvar Leader (Brooklyn Lodge) was victorious at Port Pirie to bring up $70,000 in earnings, while Swift Code (Medowie Lodge) made her bank $58,000 at Bathurst.
For CAPTAIN, it was time for the younger siblings to step into the limelight! Captains Mistress’ little brother Faith Not Fear (Taffy Ltd) took out the GR1 $200,000 NZ Sires Stakes 2YO C&G Final at Addington in 1:54.8 but not far behind in the impressive efforts was the winning debut at Kilmore of Catch A Wave’s full sister, Catch A Butterfly (Benstud Standardbreds and P & Z O’Shea).
Former juvenile star Miss Australiana (the Ronan family) made it four in a row with a PB at Menangle of 1:52.8, a Captain double at HQ with colt San Sebastian (Brooklyn Lodge & the la Spina family) also posting a PB of 1:50.5 to take his earnings past $69,000.
Now at $90,000 is gelding Keayang Moroccan (Marg Lee & J Craven) who saluted at Mildra, and at Penrith, it was mare Homebound (Mathew Day) in the winners stall.
Of our former roster there were winners for WELL SAID (Interpretation), WESTERN TERROR (Madame West), BETTING LINE (Credulous & Kimchi), FOUR STARZZZ SHARK (Hesastar) and SOMEBEACHSOMEWHERE (Talk To Lexy).
