He was a good type of colt, he showed his vendor an excellent return for outlay as he was pin hooked for $62,000 at the Great Southern weanling sale, he was an inclusion in the Springmount draft. The colt was bred by a long term client of Sun Stud, Queensland based breeder, Wayne Comerford.. Second dam in the pedigree is Whipping, an unraced half sister to Zipping, surely one of Lloyd Williams favourite horses.

The filly will chase higher honours now, as her sights are set on the Group 3 Phoenix Park two year old Classic, over 1200 metres, in early February. She looks as if she will, as she finished very strongly and still won with a bit in hand, she is a promising youngster. Her trainer doesn’t mince matters either; she could then go on to the Group 1 Courtesy Ford Manawatu Sire’s Produce Stakes over, 1400 metres at Awapuni in the autumn. “The filly learnt a lot from her first start, she keeps getting better,” said her trainer, Lisa Latta. There is a lot of upside to Platinum Mam’selle, according to rider, Mark Du Plessis, “the run was very encouraging, she gave me a good feel, she is a nice filly, “he said. She is the second foal of her dam, Miss Fascination, by Redoute’s Choice, all four dams are winners .

A big week for Magnus Magnus fires up in the WestMagnus claimed his third Group 1 success as a sire when Great Shot won the million dollar Railway Stakes, at Ascot in far off Perth. And a similar performance was repeated on Saturday last, at the same venue, when The River was successful, he is also by Magnus, except there was no million dollar prize attached to the race, and Lady Magnus won at Terang. Magnus is an excellent sire, he has a dominant seventy per cent record of runners to winners, progeny of well over $25 million, his yearlings averaged in 2017 over $90,000, and selling up to $215,000, that reads better than bank interest. He was a good racehorse that was beyond question; he competed at the highest level, a Group1 sire that is the ultimate. Besides winning at Group1 level he faced up to the elite company of Weekend Haussler, Miss Andretti and the invincible, Takeover Target, he conquered the world. Magnus is a product of a super sire line being by Flying Spur, a Golden Slipper success, one of a quartet of winners of the Slipper, trained in succession by Lee Freedman. Flying Spur defeated Octagonal, and the very good filly, Millrich, is was a stellar year for two year olds. It was obvious that Magnus was bred for speed, his dam, Scandinavia, had sheer brilliance, as did her sire, Snippets, he was something to behold, the family of Wilander, Black Caviar, and the highly promising sire, All Too Hard. His second dam, Song of Norway, by Vain, he raced as if had a wing on every hoof, a champion racehorse and the ultimate as a sire. In the official general sire’s table, 50 sires are listed, 5 based in Victoria, Written Tycoon at 11, Magnus 18, Reward For Effort 35, Manhattan Rain 43, Reset 50.
Magnus continued on his the winning spree at Kyneton for Sun Stud, winning the final race when Bellaria won and Moshe got into the winning vein with a winner at Gosford. |
