Top Family Serves Up Another Winner

8 November 2011

A royal family that has served WS so well over the years took another winning trick at Awapuni today. The lightly-raced filly Lego boasts a Gr 1 pedigree and she showed a good degree of inherent ability with a dominant front-running display in the Chittick family colours.

By O’Reilly, she is the first foal of the farm’s dual Gr 1 winner Legs (New Zealand Oaks, Kelt Capital Stakes) who is by Pins out of River Century. Bred by Garry Chittick, she is a daughter of former champion stallion and decorated broodmare sire Centaine. River Century is also a sister to Arletty (Gr 2 Villiers Stakes, Gr 2 Queen of the Turf Stakes) and a three-quarter sister to Sixty Seconds (Gr 1 Arrowfield Stud Stakes).

WS will be offering a brother to Lego during the Premier session at next year’s National Yearling Sale. Legs has this season foaled a filly to O’Reilly and has been served by associate stallion and Gr 1 producer Savabeel.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

It is not the easiest role, that of Chairman of our Thoroughbred Racing Board. Like all chairmanships, one’s mind is rarely not occupied with the responsibility. To our Chairman, I say thanks. A lifetime in the industry, Chairman of our largest club, it is difficult to identify someone more suited to the role.
