The highest priced yearling by Headwater sold in 2023, fleet footed filly Glassout made a winning debut at Hawkesbury on Tuesday for the Brad Widdup stable.
Vinery Stud’s quiet achiever Headwater has had a bumper season with his juveniles and added a new winner to his tally when Glassout saluted in the1100m maiden beating older rivals.
Given a good education at the trials, she was very professional for Tyler Schiller settling just behind the leaders and when a gap came near the fence she dashed to the line and held off her challengers to win by half a length.
Purchased by her trainer from the Davali Thoroughbreds draft at Inglis Classic for $180,000, Glassout was bred by respected former Strawberry Hill Stud manager Bridie Sparkes, who is now managing spelling and agistment farm Nine9 Park at Singleton.
Glassout is the first winner for High Gloss, a placed half-sister by all American to stakes-placed Santimonious and grand-daughter of Group I winner Euphoria.
The family is notable for producing Group I winner Secret Agenda and Group I placed Tutta La Vita, who was bought at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale for $3.2million by Resolute Racing and will do her future racing in North America.
Kooringal Stud purchased High Gloss through Inglis Digital in 2022 for $10,000 and she produced a colt for them last spring by Prized Icon and is now in foal to Merchant Navy.
Glassout is the 11th two year-old winner this season for Headwater and they include stakes-winner Pure Aqua putting him fourth on the 2YO Sires by winners list.
Headwater stands at a fee of just $9,900 this spring representing great value in a competitive market.
