Double For Towkay
The LA bred Eternal Beauty (Towkay-Follow the Sun) showed his liking for the 1000m with another Hong Kong win over the trip, this time at Happy Valley on 22 June. The now five-year-old raced briefly in New Zealand as Beauty Again from Lance Noble's stable.
There may not be much to Surf Patrol (Towkay-Out on Bail) but she sure has a big heart as she showed once again with a win over 1400m at the Premier meeting at Tauranga on 25 June. She was 100-1 and drifting at the 150m but powered home to register her fifth career win for trainer Mike Breslin her owner and breeder Sue Harty.
An unnamed Towkay two-year-old gelding from Maximite looked one to keep an eye on when he gets to the races judging by his impressive trial win at Woodville last week for trainer John Bary and his owner and breeder Brian Collins.
The Elusive City-Shahiid colt that we sold to Bart Cummings at Karaka last year for $250,000 stepped out at the Rosehill trials last week and won nicely over 900m. A winner of his first trial, at Randwick back in February, the master trainer looks to be applying his typically patient polish to the LA bred two-year €“old who goes by the name of Cosmo King.
Another LA product that we are eagerly awaiting stepping out on the race course is Eagle Pass (Catbird-Monashees), who we sold to Singaporean interests after winning on debut at Woodville back in March. His year older full brother the four-year-old Eagle Peak won an $18,000 race in Western Australia last week and mum has her fourth foal, a Darci Brahma colt, on target for the Karaka Yearling Sales in February.
We would love to see you for our annual stallion parade and weanling walk, here on the farm on Sunday 17 July, commencing at 10am. Come and see our new stallion Per Incanto parade alongside Towkay and Zed, then we will put you in a bus and take you on a quick tour of the farm where you will get to see weanlings by the likes of High Chaparral, Darci Brahma, Pins, O'Reilly, Savabeel, Towkay, Thorn Park, Alamosa and Zed.
