If Hunter Valleys Sledmere Stud needed to generate any more interest in the three outstanding Per Incanto colts they present at the Magic Millions Sale which gets underway on Wednesday then they certainly got it with the leading NZ stallions only two Australian runners on Saturday both winning in impressive fashion.
Gai Waterhouses former assistant trainer Mark Newnham has made a promising start to his own training career and the Warwick Farm conditioner is talking black-type races for the LA and JML Bloodstock bred Lanciato (Per Incanto-Surreptitious by O'Reilly) following the five-year-olds last to first win at Randwick today over 1400m.
He's come back better and stronger this season and we'll look at a listed race at the end of the month said Newnham.
Earlier in the afternoon the LA bred Kathaire (Per Incanto-Deep Pockets by Jungle Pocket) bought-up the 100th individual winner for her sire in real style when she won by five lengths at Wyong, breaking 1.10 for the 1200m. A $30,000 purchase from the Sledmere draft at the 2015 Sydney Classic Sale, the four-year-old mare is Per Incanto's sixth individual winner from the eight to the races that he's had sell at the increasingly popular sale.
