The Filly
When you look at this photo you see a very good, well balanced filly reared on one of our best thoroughbred nurseries. After I did my inspections at the Magic Millions National Sale I was determined to get this filly. I purchased the first two foals out of Fly By Night and have inspected all her foals since but for one reason or another none really grabbed me. To her credit Fly By Night has had 6 winners from 7 to race.
This filly is very strong through the hindquarters and has a nice presence to her. She has an attractive head and for a November foal is well grown. I’m not concerned that she is a late foal as I would expect her to get to the races as a late two year old or early three year old.
The first foal I purchased out of Fly By Night was a colt by Strategic which went to on to race as Captain Chaos. He was a handy galloper winning in Sydney, Brisbane and Hobart and was stakes placed.
The second foal I purchased was the very good staying mare Unchain My Heart. Unchain My Heart won 10 races from 1400m to 3200m. She won three times at stakes level and $595,580 in stakes money.
She was one of only two Australian bred horses to compete in the 2014 Melbourne Cup. She won the 3200m Andrew Ramsden Stakes on two occasions and also the time honored Bagot Handicap.
I’m absolutely thrilled to have secured such a nice filly for a reasonable price. She will be paid up for BOBS and the Magic Millions Series Of Races.
Hinchinbrook
Hinchinbrook is one of our very best young sires having been Champion First Season Sire in 2014/15 Season in Australia. He followed this up by being Champion Second Season Sire in 2015/16 Season and is currently leading the Third Season Sire’s List.
I supported Hinchinbrook from day one sending the best mare I was managing at the time to him. I must say I have learned a lot about the horse since that time and got it right purchasing Flying Jess at the 2015 Magic Millions Yearling Sale. She recently established herself as one of the best fillies in Australia beating the Duel Group 1 winner Global Glamour and boom horse Winning Rupert in the $2 million Magic Millions Guineas.
I have another nice three year old filly named Honolulu Lass and two, two year old fillies by the horse including Kissing Game who was placed at Canterbury at first start. I have purchased two yearlings by the sire this year that gives us six of Hinchinbrook’s progeny on our books.
It wasn’t hard for me to be attracted to Hinchinbrook. He is the son of Snippet’s Lass the best mare Bill Mitchell trained while I was his racing manager. Snippet’s Lass was a wonderful race mare by the Champion sire Snippets from an outstanding North American family. This colt reminds me a lot of Snippet’s Lass. She wasn’t big but beautifully put together, strong and had a great will to win. Snippet’s Lass is also the dam of Champion Sire Snitzel. She has made a huge impact on the Australian breeding landscape.
It should be remembered Hinchinbrook was a very smart racehorse winning twice at two including the ATC Skyline Stakes. He was also the first colt home in the Golden Slipper. He has aleady sired an outstanding colt with Press Statement winning at the highest level and is now at stud.
While it is early days for Hinchinbrook his figures are stamping him as a sire of the future and the mating with this filly should prove to be a very good choice.
