Another Super Saturday for Seth

At Ruakaka on Saturday, it was very much the Super Seth–Kenny Rae show, as the Waikato Stud stallion and the local trainer combined to open and close the card.

In the first race, Miss Seth stepped out over 1600m, hugging the rails to deliver Super Seth his 48th individual winner. Remarkably, it was his 44th first-crop winner from just 71 runners, equating to a 62% winners-to-runners strike rate.

Bred and sold by Tony Rider’s Milan Park, the now four-year-old mare was secured by Rae from the NZB Karaka Book 2 Sale.

Rae struck again in the final race of the day when Supa Rosa produced a strong performance to score by 1.5 lengths over the 1600m trip, making it back-to-back wins.

Out of the winning Sea The Stars mare Rosa Vernans, the four-year-old mare was bred by Jonathan Munz’s JSA Bloodstock and was not offered at public auction.

Crowned Champion First and Second Season Sire, Super Seth – winner of the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas – is the only New Zealand-based stallion in history to produce four Group 1 winners in his first two seasons.
