Fast ‘N’ Famous Off to a Flyer

Waikato Stud’s Redoute’s Choice stallion Fast‘N’Famous got the season off to a flying start with two winners at the Te Teko Trials this week.

Acting as one of three winners on the day for trainer Danica Guy, the sire’s 2YO colt out of Bella Boyd (pictured left) struck early, dishing out what was a slick 1 length win over 600m.

“He’s just a fantastic horse, temperament wise,” said trainer Danica Guy. “He’s a big, strong horse, who will be even better at three. As a result, I wasn’t expecting too much from him, but he did it all on natural ability. I actually thought if anything he was a bit too relaxed immediately before the trial, but I needn’t have worried. He flew the gates and railed like a greyhound.”

Six heats later and it was Fast N Famous’ unnamed 3YO daughter out of Expoeve who was turning heads.

“She carried a high-weight rider and still ran the fastest 800m time of the day,” said trainer Glenn Old. “This one has plenty of raw ability, that’s for sure”
