On this day Super Seth (2016) & Wishy (2018) were born, since then…

🤩 Seth became the only NZ-based sire to record four Group 1 winners in his first two racing seasons, across Australasia only Danehill (6) bettered it & he equalled his broodmare sire Redoute’s Choice (4).

💚 Wishy took everyone on the ride of a lifetime: two G1 wins and placed in another seven, won the Golden Eagle and we trekked to #TheEverest
