Paco Boy Recieves Impressive Review

26 July 2011

Paco Boy has recieved a glowing endorsement from the Informant’s respected pedigree profiler, John Richardson.

Amongst his keen observations, Richardson states:

” I can not recall seeing a horse that was able to finishing burst of speed that can only be described as devasting,”

“His sire Desert Style is another topnotch sire son of Green Desert to join the likes of Volksraad, Cape Cross, Invincible Spirit, Oasis Dream and Desert Sun,”

“With so much going for him, I predict that Paco Boy will prove another great success of Waikato.”

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.
