Description

Wingrove Park presents the opportunity to lease this VOBIS Gold colt that hails from a winning family with the breeders of Royal Symphony.


Based in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria, the stud farm is responsible for sixteen black-type and metropolitan winners from a boutique of broodmares – some of which are closely related to this colt!


“A very forward and alert colt in training and showing great promise – by a Group 1 winning stallion out of a Group 3 placed mare ” – Joseph Vella, CEO Wingrove Park.


From a female family that simply produces winners, his dam, by Elvstroem, was a multiple winner from ten starts and finished second in the 2010 Group 3 Auraria Stakes. El Spark is from the three metropolitan winner and 2ND placegetter in the Group 3 Dermody Stakes, Dual Spark. El Spark has produced Hard Spark (3x wins) including on Melbourne Cup Day 2017 at Echuca by 1¼ lengths.


El Spark is a half-sister to two black-type earners in SPARKS FLY (1ST Listed Morphettville Guineas) and Sparks Burn (3RD Listed St Albans Stakes). From five foals to race six have been multiple winners and have collectively won 16 races and over $500,000 in stakes earnings. Further progeny include stakes winner Sparks Alight (1st Bendigo Gold Bracelet) and More Spark (recent winner - 17/10/2017).


El Spark has had one runner to the races in multiple Victorian race winner Hard Spark (by Hard Spun) – who has a further nine placing’s and over $57,000 in stakes earnings.


A stakes winner as 2yo and returning to win the Group 1 Champagne Stakes as a 3yo, Skilled (by Commands) has made his mark in a short time in the breeding barn. Yearlings have sold up to $80,000 and already has six winners to his name for the new racing season.


The colt is currently in full training at Bendigo with stakes winning trainer Shane Fliedner.
