Camelot Colt Purchased From Goffs Orby Sale

Oct 4, 2024

Lot 478 Camelot x Sixpenny Sweets Colt 55% already reserved! After a few late nights coordinating with our agent Cathy Grassick in Ireland, we were thrilled to acquire a beautiful Camelot colt from the Goffs Orby yearling sale. He is out of Sixpenny Sweets, a mare who has produced four runners, all of which are winners, including Spangler. Spangler, an earner of over $900k from 16 starts, is Group 3 placed and won last year's Little Dance, narrowly beating our own Lion's Roar. Sixpenny Sweets is very well related, being a half-sister to three group winners!In 2022, we purchased another high-quality Camelot colt from Europe who turned out to be Suit Of Armour. Suit of Armour won twice and was placed twice from just 6 starts, including a Sydney Metro win before being sidelined with a tendon injury. This made us eager to find another high-quality European staying proposition.  We were impressed by this exceptional colt's pedigree, physical, and attitude, and we believe he offers great value, purchased for 90,000 Euros (approximately AUD 145k). His sire, Camelot, commands a stud fee of 50,000 euros at Coolmore Stud in Ireland, and his offspring achieved an average price of 120,000 at the Goffs Orby sale (approximately AUD 193k).We have partnered with the likeable training trio of Ben, JD, and Will Hayes from Lindsay Park, who will be responsible for training this colt in Victoria. We believe that this colt is well-suited for the races available for staying-bred horses in the south.   Shares are being reserved quickly so get in touch with us today!

Determined Maiden Win For Wexford Miss At Kembla

Sep 30, 2024

Wexford Miss was able to rid her maiden status at Kembla Grange on Saturday when taking out the fillies and mares 1400m maiden. It was a credible effort for the four year old mare, who had to carry the top weight of 59 kilos on the Heavy 8 surface. In a race that was decimated by scratchings, Wexford Miss was sent out as the very short priced favourite, jumping at $1.20 off the back of a last start 4th on the Kensington track. She settled at the rear of the field, no more than 5 lengths off the leader in a slowly run race. The sprint went on at the 400m and Wexford Miss loomed large down the outside. She was challenged over the concluding stages by the locally trained Audenzia (Kerry Parker) who gave a good kick but was nosed out, giving Wexford Miss a 0.1L victory. "That should give her plenty of confidence today"  jockey Sam Clipperton told connections after the win. "She had to pick up under the big weight on the heavy track so there was good merit to the win."Wexford Miss was purchased via a private sale in 2022 from Ireland through agent Billy Jackson Stops. She peaked Champion Director Jason Abrahams's interest with her two brothers both performing well in the Sydney metropolitan area at the time. Her full-brother Waterford (Awtaad) was subsequently placed in four stakes races and is now being set for the $750k Little Dance on Melbourne Cup Day.  Her half-brother Wicklow (Twilight Son) subsequently won the Listed Wagga Gold Cup. Congratulations to her owners Mr F W Cook, Mrs C M Cook, Mr S Nagaratnam, Mr P J Gray, Elite Racing Services, Mr G Seto, JackJ5 Racing, Mr S Bourke, Mr E Catanzariti, Mr T S Menounos, Dr M Healy, Mr S Thatcher, Mr E W J Ciurlionis, Mr P Vanni, Thug Thoroughbreds, Mr P V W Kruining, Mr R A Seymour, Mr M Petrie, J E Abrahams Pty Ltd

Stakes Win For Talented Filly Lilac

Sep 23, 2024

via The Thoroughbred ReportLilac (Justify {USA}) made her Melbourne debut on Saturday in the Listed Jim Maloney S. at Caulfield, and the Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald-trained filly kicked a length clear with less than a furlong to go, but Chris Waller trained Delichy Boulevard (Snitzel) was closing rapidly from further back and the two hit the line together with Lilac winning by 0.15l.The Thoroughbred Report spoke with Jason Abrahams of Champion Thoroughbreds, who co-purchased Lilac for NZ$300,000 at the 2023 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale, to find out what he loved about her. She was purchased in conjunction with Annabel Neasham Racing. “I thought she’d be too dear to start with. Physically she’s got a lovely deep girth, looks very much like a Danehill-line filly, she’s out of sister to Foxwedge, and looked more like a Fastnet Rock than anything,” said Abrahams. An unbeaten Triple Crown winner, Justify (USA), who shuttled between Coolmore’s Australian and American farms siring 37 stakes winners with his oldest crops only four. With horses like City Of Troy (USA) in Europe, and now heading to the Breeders’ Cup, and Storm Boy and Learning To Fly in Australia, Justify has earned the right to be called a successful sire. “Coolmore were selling her through Curraghmore, they suggested she’d make a lot of money, and I said I wasn’t in the market at that (price) point. Annabel (Neasham) liked her too so I talked to Rob (Archibald) and we worked out a price, then Coolmore stayed in for a quarter too. We were delighted that she came in at our budget. “I just hadn’t seen a Justify that looked like her. The rest looked a bit American, more dirt orientated, but Lilac has that lovely angle and depth of girth and more like we are used to in terms of grass racing. She stood out from that perspective.” Her dam, Paulownia (Fastnet Rock), is a full sister to Group 1 winner and sire Foxwedge and to Listed winner She’s a Fox. Lilac's ownership group brings together a wide array of global industry participants. “A friend of mine, Jason Litt, is a bloodstock agent in America. He was at the sale and he has been exposed to a lot of Justifys in America. He has a big client, the Roth family who race under L N J Foxwoods banner, and they eventually took 20 per cent. “A school friend, Byron Rogers, does a lot of analytics on yearling videos and he ran her yearling video through his software and it came out with excellent metrics, so he had his dad buy 10 per cent. Then we sold a few small shares through our client base, and Annabel sold her quarter (to her clients). “It’s our first purchase with Annabel and it’s nice that it’s come to a stakes win.” Lilac had two trials as a December 2-year-old, winning one of them, then returned in late February and early March for two more trials, again winning one of them. She debuted at Randwick-Kensington in a 2-year-old maiden over 1000 metres on March 13, running fourth. “Her last prep she only had one start. It was her first start, and we were expecting big things but she didn’t finish off, so we tipped her out then.” She had another couple of trials in late July and early August, running third in both, before having her first run at three at Wyong in a 1200 metre maiden on August 18, which she won by 0.75l for jockey James McDonald. Next, she went to Warwick Farm for a mid-week BM64 race over 1200 metres and was beaten 0.3l by Private Life (Written Tycoon) into second with the same filly who ran second on Saturday in the Jim Maloney, Delichy Boulevard (Snitzel), running third that day. “She won well first-up and looked good second up. I probably erred on side of caution in sending her to a mid-week first. Annabel was pushing to go straight to Melbourne for a stakes race, then she ran second to a colt who looks promising (Private Life). I was trying to be conservative, but I probably cost her some black type.” For her fourth start, Abraham listened to Neasham’s advice and Lilac went to Melbourne for the Listed Jim Maloney S. “This time I said, ‘Let’s do it’ and we took her down early to prepare her.” What’s next for Lilac? “She’s lightened off from the trip. So, we’ll let her mature a bit and give her a nice 6-8 week break and bring her back for the autumn.”Congratulations to her team of owners Chimaera Racing, Mr D J Kelly, Thug Thoroughbreds, L N J Foxwoods, J E Abrahams Pty Ltd, Dr C M Rogers, RKH Thoroughbreds, Ms S R Smith, Coolmore, Mr T A Janssens, Loftus Park, Ursino Racing, Esquin, Hon.

Lilac Chasing Black Type In Jim Moloney Stakes At Caulfield

Sep 18, 2024

Lilac will head to Caulfield on Saturday, looking to add some important black print to her pedigree when she lines up in the Jim Moloney Stakes for the three year old fillies. The daughter of Justify is lining up for her fourth career start, coming off a second placing at Warwick Farm behind promising colt Private Life- who lines up in the Caulfield Guineas Prelude on Saturday. Prior that run, she was a solid winner at Wyong, defeating stakes placed colt Embassy.She made her way from Rob Archibald & Annabel Neasham's Warwick Farm stable and settled in well at the Pakenham base 10 days prior to her third-up assignment. She was able to have a look around Caulfield with a gallop in company on Tuesday morning which pleased both Annabel and jockey Mark Zahra who will partner her on Saturday. The race has attracted a field of 10 fillies, headlined by the Godolphin trained Silmarillion (Too Darn Hot) who was good when winning the Listed Atlantic Jewel Stakes last start at Moonee Valley. The third place getter from that race, Sakima (Snitzel) has also been accepted to run in Saturday's race from barrier 7 with Damien Lane aboard. Lilac has drawn favourably in barrier 5 where she should be able to utalise her brilliant gate speed to take up a positive position.Best of luck to her connections as she endeavors to secure some valuable black-type!
