$6,600 - Sebring Sun Can Put You in the Winner’s Circle

Tara Madgwick - Monday Jun 8

When you don’t have a lot of money to spend on a service fee and you just want to get into the winner’s circle, Glenthorne Park’s Sebring Sun can put you there.

A Listed winner by Sebring that was third in the G1 Golden Rose, Sebring Sun was given his chance at stud by Craig Ruttley at Glenthorne Park and covered his first four books of mares at a fee of $3,300.

Those first four small crops have produced 44 winners with the 70% winner to runner strike rate making him a great choice for breed to race owners.

Among those winners are six metro winners and two of those have won in Hong Kong.

Horses like Acappella Sun, Acappella Moon, Golden Horizon and Miami Sun have saluted in town, while Acappella Nova has won a couple of Hong Kong races as The Red Hare, while the promising Mark Newnham trained 3YO gelding Supreme Sea has a win, a second and a fourth in Hong Kong from just three starts.

Multiple country winners such as Sunnycoast (11 wins), One Kind (7 wins), Bringyaticket (7 wins), Hot Bandit (6 wins), Sumo Fish (6 wins) and Mosgiel Daisy (6 wins) have done an outstanding job for their owners.
