A brand new winner for STAY HUNGRY this week with two-year-old Stinson (bred by B & M Bradley) completing a Canberra double for Empire sires after CAPTAINTREACHEROUS mare Sapphiresndiamonds (Bee Pears) took a 14.5m victory earlier on the card. CAPTAIN mares were in the money elsewhere – at Eugowra A Lil Bit Of Love (Peter Crennan) and filly Astral Stride (E & M Stride), and at Addington, Lakelsa (B & A Sinclair) who took her earnings past $170,000. He had a new winner with colt Apex Stride (E & M Stride) saluting at Penrith, and at Globe Derby Park, a treble – winning on debut, Don Capitano (Benstud), by 5.6m Captains Dream (Benstud with P & Z O’Shea) and Treacherous One (Glenn Wilmot) who brought up $33,000.
CAPTAIN kids were also on show in North America – Ervin Hanover claimed the $250,000 Pacing Derby at Dayton in 1:47.2 from fellow CAPTAIN stallion Captain Albano, Captain Optimistic (1:48) and Prince Hal Hanover (1:47.2) made waves in $70,000 3YO C&G divisions of the Bluegrass series at The Red Mile, where Signal Caller put in 1:48.2 for a 2YO C&G division. TALL DARK STRANGER filly Nash claimed hers in 1:50.1.
