Waller and the Sebring's
I would have to give this weekends stallion award to Sebring because of the success of his sons in Sydney and his daughter Egg Tart, on the sunny coast. While in the training ranks, Chris Waller's, record prizemoney in an Australian Season is worth mentioning and how good is female Jockey, Jamie Kah, riding in Adelaide. The Sepoy filly, Anjana, is one to watch for the future.
- Sebring and Egg Tart -- The Sebring mare, Egg Tart scored an easy victory in the group 2 O'Shea Stakes in Qld, almost a year to the day of her last win, in last years, Qld Oaks. She has found it a struggle in the top grade as a four year old but today got her rewards for persistance. The mare was one of many winners for trainer, Chris Waller yesterday, which enabled him to break the Australian Prizemoney record for a trainer in one season. The Sebring/Waller combination came to the fore in Sydney as well when Gresham bolted in with the second race at Rosehill, ridden by Blake Shinn. This was followed by a victory to Sir Bacchus in the Octagonal Hcp, to give the combo a treble. The gelding is the product of Sebrings mating with the Encosta De Lago mare, Bacchanal Woman. The amount of winners on a saturday produced by Encosta mares is just astounding. Another one being, Epidemic who won the listed Coughlan Stks for James Cummings, he is by Lonhro out of that good producing Encosta mare, Mnemosyne. A couple of other winners at the Sunny Coast on saturday were Granny Red Shoes who won the listed Oxlade Stks for two year olds. The Not a Single Doubt, filly was ridden by veteran jockey John Lloyd for trainer Toby Edmonds. The winner of the listed Phoenix Stks for 2yos was Commander, by Pierro, out of the More Than Ready mare, Ephemera.
- Anjana -- The Sepoy filly made it 3 from 3 at the Valley with an explosive performance, that had everyone talking. She was ridden by an in form Damien Lane for Darren Weir. She will now have a short break and be back searching for spring glory, in the Thousand Guineas. The grey filly was purchased for $34,000 at the Inglis Classic sale and is out of the More Than Ready mare, Further.
- Jamaican Rain -- A perfect ride by Brian Park on the Richard Laming trained Jamaican Rain, secured another victory for the talented mare who will now head to Queensland, for the Tatts Tiara. Brian kept her out of trouble and she did the rest. Her dam is Heriz who is by Redoutes Choice who is the half brother of Manhattan Rain, the sire of Jamaican Rain.
- Jamie Kah -- It was the Jamie Kah show at Morphetville on Saturday and one of her four winners was Canford. Who she rode a treat to score, bursting through the pack for victory. He is by, no surprise, Canford Cliffs. The stallion also got a winner at Rosehill with his daughter,Princess Posh in the BM 80. Canford is out of the Encosta De Lago mare Sorenstam.
- Bel Esprit -- The sire of Black Caviar always producers winners in the country meetings around Australia. At the Valley we saw a quinella for the breed with Spirit of Aquada winning the 3yo Vobis race, out sprinting, Bel Sonic. While 4yo Bel Esprit gelding, First Watch, was victorious at Bendigo.
- Interesting Winners -- Johnny Dowry by Not a Single Doubt ,won at Bendigo, over 2400m ridden by Lucinda Doodt for the Payne stable. At Kembla in the 2yo maiden it was a win to the colt from the Snowden camp,Exclusive. He is by Lonhro out of the Commands mare, Talkin About. In the following race,a class one, we saw the combination reversed with the Commands gelding, Phabeni scoring for James Cummings, his dam Rainbow is by Lonhro. Stallions with multiple winners on Saturday were Street Cry, Your Song and Foxwedge who got a treble at the Gold Coast meeting with Foxy Housewife,Crab Boy and Honor and Strength. Fastnet Rock stallion, Foxwedge, stands at Newgate Farm.
