News - IN THE CONGO (AUS)
The star studded Night of Champions awards evening celebrating the best Australian racehorses of the past season was held in the Winx Stand at Royal Randwick on Thursday night and taking Australian Horse of the Year honours was brilliant mare Autumn Glow.
History shows the great sire dynasties of the world wax and wane over time, so for breeders that can identify the right sire going forward the rewards can be huge and in some cases life changing.
He’s a three-quarter brother to undefeated superstar Autumn Glow and won the Group I ATC Golden Rose beating Anamoe, so it was no surprise when In the Congo made a splash at Magic Millions on Friday to deliver a colt that sold for $625,000.
Group 1 Golden Rose winner and high-class 3YO sprinter In The Congo has been retired to stand at Newgate for the 2023 season.
Two unraced sons of Snitzel fought out the finish of the Heineken Maiden Hcp (1100m) at Kensington-Randwick on Wednesday, and both hold entries for Group races at the Brisbane Winter Carnival.
