Prime dispatch Edition 114 – 10/05/2016 Compiled by Joe o’Neill Not Surprising as a yearling To run in Scone Racing Club Woodlands Stakes on Saturday Not Surprising will be our 4th two year old to line up in a stakes race this season when she runs at Scone in the Listed Woodlands Stakes on Saturday. She joins Flying Jess the winner of the Group 3 SAJC Sire’s Produce Stakes, Hussy’s Glow 2nd in the Listed TTC Gold Sovereign Stakes and Invincible Al 5th in the VRC Anzac Day Stakes as two year olds to compete with distinction in these important ‘black type’ races. Our other runner at Scone will be Miss de Vega who was the most expensive yerarling I had purchased when I paid $165,000 for her at the 2014 Gold Coast Magic Millions Sale. Should she win she will become the 10th individual winner from our three year old crop from 11 to race. Unfortunately one filly from this crop won’t race and the remaining two of the 14 I purchased which are now three year olds are in work. Page 1 MICK MOLONEY Mick receiving a Life Membership to the NT Cattlemen’s Association One of the best aspects to our business has been the 1000’s of people I have met and done business with over the past 20 years. In fact the concept of Prime Thoroughbreds was born at the 1997 Scone Cup Carnival where we purchased our first horse Let’s Jive. I will be attending my 20th straight Scone Cup on Friday. Not long after we started the business Mick Moloney, a life long friend of my parents contacted me to get into a yearling and he has had a horse or two with us ever since. He was very loyal and popular with many of our owners and loved to sit back and have a few beers and tell some ‘tall tales but true from the legendary past’. He loved rugby League and racing and will be sorely missed by his family and endless number of friends. He had good success with us with Shine On Anna and Transparent Lass being the best horses he raced in the ‘Prime Thoroughbreds’ colours. Mick’s final horse with us is More Than A Rose which was placed 3rd at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday. I will be attending his funeral in Brisbane on Thursday. Page 2 ON THE TRACK Apart from Miss De Vega and Not Surprising running at Scone we have Chastity Strikes at Gosford on Thursday and Invincible Me nominated at a few meetings over the weekend. On Tuesday The Wasp is likely to make her debut at Wyong. It has been very encouraging to see so many two year olds standing up and having a run as two year olds. I don’t like to see them overdo it as juveniles but it is a great advantage for them to have a run or two and then a break to be prepared for their three year old season by which time they have matured and strengthened. Chastity Strikes and The Wasp are by Smart Missile and have been quite impressive in their barrier trials. Another Smart Missile filly Strike For Victory is set to barrier trial at Newcastle on Monday. I am quite bullish about Smart Missile and look forward to watching these three fillies progress. The Wasp as a yearling Page 3 PRIME THOROUGHBREDS YEARLINGS OF THE WEEK Mossman Colt out of Nephtys 2014 10 shares @ $12,000 each (5% shares available) Kris Lees to train The colt Mossman needs little introduction to our owners. He is a superb sire and once again sits in the top 15 of the Australian Sires Premiership. This colt oozes quality which is a good sign with the progeny of Mossman. I was really taken by him when he was paraded at the Inglis Classic Sale and he comes from a very good farm in Torryburn Stud. The colt is very athletic and I expect he will get up and run as a two year old. Mossman Mossman has been a big success since he started his stud career and to date has sired 380 winners with 55 stakes horses to his credit. His best progeny have been Buffering, Mossfun, Ofcourseican, Neeson, Love Conquers All and the list goes on. He is particularly potent when crossed with Danehill and his sons and grandsons mares with 16 of his stakes horses being bred on these lines. I have always been a big fan of Mossman and will continue to support him when the right yearling Page 4 comes along. Buffering’s win in the Group I Al Quoz Sprint (1000m) on the turf at Meydan in Dubai on 26 March was another great advertisement for Mossman and also a terrific boost for the Australian breeding industry. It isn’t well known that Mossman has far less horses representing him on the track than most of the other sires the top 15 on the Australian General Sires List. This is due to him serving limited books of mares in recent years. He has been well managed by Vinery Stud. Mossman’s son Love Conquers All is currently the leading First Season Sire in Australia which further highlights the achievements of this ‘unsung hero’ of the Australian breeding industry. Nephtys Nephtys is by the great broodmare sire Redoute’s Choice. Redoute’s Choice is the youngest sire of the top 10 on the Broodmare sire’s list in Australia and currently sits in 5th position. The best progeny out of his daughters include Sacred Falls, Pasadena Girl, Zoustar and Stay With Me. In all he has 81 stakes performers in his 393 winners which is a great conversion rate. Redoute’s Choice as a Sire has statistics that are almost without peer in Australia. He has sired 129 stakes winners, a further 101 stakes placed horses and has proven to be an amazing sire of sires with Not A Single Doubt and Snitzel heading the way for him. Nephtys comes from a very good female line that includes the Group 1 winner Star Shiraz. There are a number of good two year old winners in the family which is a good pointer that this colt born on 19 August could well get up and get running early. He ticks all the boxes and I’m looking forward to his racing career. He is a terrific athlete. I have decided to pay him up for the rich Inglis Series of races. Page 5 OUTSTANDING HUSSONET FILLY OUT OF STAKES WINNING MARE TONY GOLLAN TO TRAIN Hussonet – Miss Piggy Bank 10 shares @ $7,500 each (5% shares @ $3,750) The filly This is a very attractive filly. He is well grown, has a deep girth, beautiful head and great hindquarter. The moment I inspected her in Adelaide I was certain I would purchase her provided she vetted out without any issues. This was the case and a vet report is enclosed in this package. I have had wonderful success with Hussonet’s daughters. In all I have syndicated three with all getting to the races. Hijack Hussy was a stakes winner at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day and Huiskes was a two year old stakes winner. Hussy’s Glow was stakes placed recently in the TTC Gold Sovereign stakes. In total Hussonet has had 1011 foals to race with 96 stakes winners (9.5%) and a further 79 stakes placed (7.8%). For us to purchase three fillies with 2 stakes winners (66%) and a further stakes placed is a remarkable effort. Hussonet (USA) Hussonet (USA) is one of the very best sires to have stood in Australia in the past decade with his progeny including the outstanding Weekend Hussler, Husson, Wild Spirit, Host, Eagle Falls, Gold Trail and Reaan being some of his 30 Group 1 winners. In total he has had 96 stakes winners including our very good fillies Hijack Hussy and Huiskes. I was also the under bidder on the Stakes winning Hussonet filly Member’s Joy. Page 6 It is important to plan ahead. Hussonet’s daughters are now well sought after broodmares with good results being achieved crossing them with the many sons and grandsons of Danehill we have standing at stud in Australia. Hussonet and his sons are also working in reverse with Danehill line mares. Hijack Hussy is the result of this potent cross. Hopefully this filly can follow the racetrack success of Hijack Hussy, Huiskes and Hussy’s Glow and secures a future for herself at stud after her racing career is completed. Hussonet has jumped from 173rd to 20th in only his 3rd season on the broodmare list in Australia. The best known of the runners out of his daughters is the Blue Diamond winner Extreme Choice. Hussonet came to Australia as a relatively old horse from a stud perspective but has had a remarkable impact here. Miss Piggy Bank Miss Piggy Bank is by the successful sire Secret Savings and was a nice race mare winning twice and being stakes placed. She comes from a very successful family with the first four dams producing 21 to race for 17 individual winners. I love buying out of families where there is a Champion mare on the page. This is the case here with the 4th dam Par Excellance being the top filly on the 1979 Canadian 2YO Free Handicap. Miss Piggy Bank has had one to foal to race with it winning 11 races.
