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.

Oaks Day glory for Waikato Stud-bred Sulek

Waikato Stud enjoyed a special moment on Oaks Day at Flemington on Thursday, when the New Zealand-bred gelding Sulek – by Super Seth out the O’Reilly mare Tiff And Co, saluted on one of the biggest days of the racing calendar and in front of an international crowd. Bred by the farm in partnership with the Dowager Duchess of Bedford, Sulek took out the A$500,000 Cirka Melbourne Cup Carnival Country Final (1600m) for the third and most lucrative win of his career.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

And so, another Melbourne Cup has been run. Regretfully, Mary and I were not there. I have no idea how many we attended up until COVID, and I miss the Cup week. Victoria prides itself as the sporting capital of Australia; it may be, they certainly know how to create an event.
