CAPTAINTREACHEROUS results just keep rolling in, and it’s no surprise given his earnings in Australia have just topped $29,000,000 with average starter prizemoney of over $89,000 and in North America his kids have amassed a gargantuan $125,670,000, with 612 winners recording a time of 1:55 or faster.
This week, Captain Pins (bred by T & D McPherson) hit $116,000 with a win at Charlton, three-year-old Co Captain (Maurlen Equine) clocked a 1:54.8 PB at Ballarat, baby filly Soho Aster (Rob Watson) made her form line read 3-2-1 at Menangle, in Penrith Go Away Again (P Hayes, M James & D Maffey) smashed through $60,000 with his 1:54.3 win, and at Albion Park three-year-old Crippa Max (Breckon Farm) went 1:54.2.
After we’d just started to settle down from Starstruck Dreamer’s world record at Harrah’s, three-year-old Sea Bistro Hanover set The Red Mile alight with a 1:47.1 to take a $80,000 leg of the Kentucky Championship Series! Victorious in other various series divisions were his juveniles Benny B Hill (1:50.4, Golden Rod), Need You Now (1:50.4, Golden Rod), Kountry Soho (1:55, Wildcat), and Gracious (1:51, Commonwealth Series).
An exciting star on the rise for STAY HUNGRY in two-year-old Kings Gallery (Rhiannon Park), who this week won at Kilmore by 13m to put together back-to-back wins. At The Meadows in the US, filly Odds On Wonderful posted 1:53.4 in a division of the Pennsylvania Stallion Series.
Of our former roster, BETTING LINE smashed it again – Get Up Betty, Betting Star, Terragong Swinger, Ultimate Diva & Dee Jays Big Boy, while there was a double for WELL SAID (Llanfair Llewellen & He Said She Said), and winners for FOUR STARZZZ SHARK (Delta Starz) and WESTERN TERROR (Shireen).
