Glamour mare continues hot pace

23 October 2015

WS gem Glamour Puss was outstanding on the track and she continues to prove her worth at stud. The dual Group One winner (Salinger Stakes, Goodwood Handicap) maintained her 100 percent record as a broodmare when her sixth foal Ngarimu made a winning debut last Sunday.

Raced by Garry Chittick with trainer Peter Moody, the Savabeel colt made the perfect start to his career over 1300 metres at Seymour. The three-year-old has been patiently handled and had finished runner-up in his only trial outing in May.

Glamour Puss’ first foal Heritage (Redoute’s Choice) was successful in Australia and he was followed by the three-time winner Hollywood (Pins). Vogue (O’Reilly) won two of her four starts while Beckham (Pins) is currently racing out of Liam Birchley’s Eagle Farm stable and he has four victories from 13 appearances.

Simply You (O’Reilly) was Glamour Puss’ fifth foal and she has won once in three starts from Danny O’Brien’s Flemington stable.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

Well, I got a bit behind last week, with Friday slipping by without realising it; hence no Corner. I have said on too many occasions that negative messages are of no help to anyone, and yet there seems so often a reason to be concerned. Clearly, this week the well-constructed Guerin Report on the threatened downgrade of our Group 1 races demands our attention.

Vale Ohope Wins, Ocean Park’s tough, kind and courageous daughter

Long before her Oaks double, Ohope Wins’ greatest victory belonged to the Waikato Stud staff and Matamata Veterinary Services vets who saved her as a desperately sick foal. Taken far too soon at Caulfield, her remarkable story is theirs too.
