Widden Stud have been riding the winning wave in recent weeks with new stakes-winners for the farm’s young sires Trapeze Artist and Anders, plus a growing list of promising winners for Russian Camelot (IRE).
Widden will be the second largest vendor at Inglis Premier this week with a draft of 46 and 29 are by stallions that are on the Widden roster.
One of the big highlights for the farm this year has been the achievements of brilliant juvenile Unit Five, who won the $3million Magic Millions 2YO Classic in January.
The speedy son of Supido is the second foal and first winner for well related mare En Aval, whose third foal will be offered at Premier as Lot 34.
The chunky chestnut colt is by promising young sire Anders, who has sired two stakes-winners in recent weeks in Group II MRC Autumn Classic winner Single Choice and Daytona Diva.
The colt comes with a hot and happening pedigree being from the same family as outstanding three year-old filly My Gladiola, who was a gallant second in the Group I VRC Lightning Stakes.
Trapeze Artist has soared to new heights this season with five stakes-winners – Panova, Disneck, Chilly Girl, Where’s the Circus and Piggyback, who is headed to Group I staying goals during the autumn, while Golden Slipper contender Spicy Miss will tackle the Group II ATC Sweet Embrace stakes this Saturday.
Lot 433 is an obvious highlight for Trapeze Artist at this sale being a full sister to Group I placed stakes-winner Pinito.
She is the fourth foal of Waltzing Wodka and all three previous foals are winners by Trapeze Artist including Michelangelo, who has won since the catalogue went to print.
It’s a top class family packed with Group winners including G1 winners Mighty Boss and La Volta making this filly a sound investment with residual value.
The first yearlings by Widden young gun Jacquinot have sold well to the right buyers and the dual Group I winner is the most represented first season sire at this sale with seven of his offspring in the Widden draft.
They include Lot 342, the three-quarter sister to Champion 3YO Colt and Everest hero Yes Yes Yes.
This lovely filly from top producer Sin Sin Sin is also a half-sister to five other winners including stakes-placed Dee Nine Elle and comes from the family of Champion Australian Sprinter and $3.7million earner In Her Time.
