Debut Winner for Home Affairs

Tara Madgwick - Sunday Apr 26

Setting the pace on the Australian first season sires list, Home Affairs posted his seventh first crop winner on Sunday with a debut victory for short priced favourite Home Siren.

The only two year-old engaged to run in the 1000m maiden at Port Macquarie on Sunday, the Cassandra Schmidt trained filly Home Siren was sent off favourite after a good recent barrier trial.

Home Siren got to the front with a furlong to run and was tenacious when challenged to win by a head.

A $150,000 Magic Millions purchase for Darren Blair from the Eureka Stud draft, Home Siren was a successful pinhook having been sourced from the Morningside draft at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale for $55,000.

Home Siren was a $150,000 Magic Millions purchase.

Home Siren is a half-sister to Group III winner Siren Assault and is the second winner from imported Irish stakes-winner Rebel Assault (IRE).

Home Siren adds to the success for Home Affairs, who has sired seven winners that include four stakes-winners headed by Golden Slipper winning colt Guest House, plus another four stakes-placed horses.

Home Affairs has had his service fee increased for this spring to $176,000.
