One to Watch – Hawkesbury

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Apr 5

On a day when Russian Revolution sired his highest priced ever yearling at Inglis Easter, he also gave us an impressive debut winner at Hawkesbury.

Read about his $850,000 filly from Abscond here.


Trained

by Peter and Pal Snowden, two year-old colt Czar was easy in the market and despite bungling the start was able to charge home and win the 1000m maiden by three-quarters of a length.



Czar was a $300,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the draft of Highgrove Stud for China Horse Club / Newgate Bloodstock and runs for a big syndicate of investors that includes his breeder.

We often talk about colts with a stallion’s pedigree and Czar has one!

He is the first foal of Museo (GB), a half-sister by Teofilo to the dam of dual Group I winner Victory Ludorum (GB), who has just been announced as a shuttling to Darley Australia this spring.

Museo is even more importantly a grand-daughter of Group I Irish Oaks winner Helen Street, dam of champion sire Street Cry and grand-dam of another champion sire in Shamardal.

Ron Gilbert’s Highgrove Stud bred and sold Czar and they’ve had luck with this female family before having also bred and sold Group II winner Thronum (Snitzel)  and this season’s 2YO Cythera (I Am Invincible), who are from Helena’s Secret (GB), another grand-daughter of Helen Street.

Russian Revolution

Czar is the seventh winner for Newgate Farm’s Russian Revolution, who is the leading Australian first season sire by earnings.
