A new addition to the Darren Weir stable this spring after being previously trained in Sydney by Edward O'Rourke, Ringerdingding ran a fast finishing third at his last start in the Group III MVRC Australia Stakes indicating he was ready to hit top form.
Ridden a patient race by John Allen, Ringerdingding flew home out wide to score
a half length win and has now three of 11 starts earning over $180,000 in prizemoney."The Australian Guineas next year is the long term plan, but he's a tough little horse, so if he pulls up well we might back him up in the Sandown Guineas," said Darren Weir.
"He's a bit like Extra Brut, you have to keep working these colts to keep on top of them and keep their manners right."
A $170,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Three Bridges Thoroughbreds draft for B2B Bloodstock, Ringerdingding was bred by Three Bridges in partnership as they purchased her dam Maybe I through Paul Willetts for $120,000 at the Inglis Broodmare Sale in 2015.
Ringerdingding is a half-brother to this season's stakes-placed two year-old Salome and is the second winner for Group III placed Red Ransom (USA) mare Maybe I, a grand-daughter of dual Group I winner Flitter.
Now with B2B Bloodstock, Maybe I was covered by Ringerdingding's sire Sebring last year and has produced a colt.
Ringerdingding is the 51st stakes-winner for Sebring, who stands at a fee of $66,000.
