Fast N Famous Proving Just the Ticket for Adrian Clark

24 February 2012

WS sire Fast N Famous is proving just the ticket for well-known Cambridge based bloodstock consultant, Adrian Clark.

In 2010, Clark purchased 5 yearlings at the National Select Sale on behalf of Nearco Stud, two of which being fillies by Fast N Famous.

On Saturday, both of these fillies line up in the Gr.3 Lowland Stakes (2100m) at Hawke’s Bay.

The first selected yearling, now called Consummate (see picture as yearling), earned her place in the field by smartly shedding maiden ranks over 2000m at Riccarton Park by 1 ¼ lengths last week.

The second entry has gone a step further still and is none other than January’s electric Gr.3 Desert Gold Stakes (1600m) winner, Quintessential.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

I don’t know if the two of you have ever had the thrill of travelling at high speed across the water on a single ski, totally dependent on the driver of the boat. Fall off and you are left treading water, reminds you of racing. Here we are, with multiple hints of navigation hanging on to the rope hoping for salvation.
