The Listed SAJC Redelva Stakes (1100m) at Morphettville on Saturday featured a big field of promising three year-old sprinters with victory going to progressive King’s Legacy gelding Regeneration.
Trained by Anthony and Sam Freedman, Regeneration had not missed a place in five previous starts and finished off last spring with a third in the Group III MRC Blue Sapphire Stakes.
A brilliant winner first up at Caulfield last month, he arrive din Adelaide fit and ready to fire with Todd Pannell booked to ride.
Easy in the market, he belied the lack of nterest from punters to charge home late and grab a head win over well seasoned Group winning colt Tycoon Star.
A $220,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Anthony Freedman Racing / B Roger from the Bhima Thoroughbreds draft, Regeneration runs in the colours of Champion Thoroughbreds and has the overall record of three wins and three placings from six starts with prizemoney topping $165,000.
With a myriad of stakes options in Adelaide over the next month, Regeneration is well placed to add to his impressive record.
Bred by Jonathan Munz’s GSA Bloodstock, who retain a share in his ownership, Regeneration is the second foal and first winner from Orchids, a placed full sister to triple Group I winner Atishu and Group III winner Mazzolino from the family of Champion NZ 3YO Filly Daffodil.
Orchids has a yearling colt by Proisir that sold for $170,000 to O'Shea Charlton Racing / James Bester Bloodstock at Karaka Book 1 this year in the Haunui Farm draft and a filly to follow by the same sire and is now in foal to Super Seth.
Regeneration is the second stakes-winner for King’s Legacy.
