Platinum Lincoln A Top Prospect 10 Aug 2012 Mark down the well-related Platinum Lincoln as a three-year-old with a bright future following his successful Riccarton debut on Saturday. The Goodwood Stud graduate was impressive at the first time of asking for Awapuni trainer Lisa Latta in beating his more experienced rivals. “He’s a gorgeous horse and a pleasure to do anything with,” she said. “He had a jumpout at home a couple of weeks ago and has taken natural improvement from that.” Latta has yet to confirm his immediate programme, but is looking at the early season age group events with the gelding. Platinum Lincoln is a son of champion European first-season sire Iffraaj and the winning Jetball mare Midnight Call. She was also placed in the Gr 3 Lowland Stakes and is a daughter of the Listed Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes winner Tough Call. Her sister Call Spades also won the Te Rapa feature while the headline act in the pedigree is Scarlett Lady. She was the dual Gr 1 winner of the Queensland Oaks and the New Zealand Stakes. Gr 3 Manawatu Challenge Stakes winner Justanexcuse is a current member of this family. Platinum Lincoln was purchased by Latta for $60,000 out of Godowood’s 2011 Select Sale draft to Karaka.

Exciting 3YO Not For Sale 16 Jun 2012 Goodwood Stud has decided to spurn any offers for Barbaric and are looking forward to the three-year-old’s future career. The homebred created a stir when he was an effortless debut winner at Hastings recently and has been the subject of buyer interest. “We’re going to keep him and race him on,” William Fell said. “He was very impressive and looked like he could have won by more so we’re going to take a chance. “For various reasons he didn’t sell and we ended up racing him and hopefully he’s going to be another good advertisement for the stud.” A son of Pins, Barbaric was withdrawn from Goodwood’s 2010 National Yearling Sale draft due to a skin infection and a stone bruise kept him away from the Ready to Run Sale. “He’s a horse that has had a lot of problems and he needs to be managed well, which Stephen (Marsh) has done,” Fell said. “He’s gone out for four weeks and then he’ll come back for the spring and placed right there might be some nice stakes races for him in the future.” Barbaric is out of Burnzees Magic and the six-time winning daughter of Kinjite is also the dam of the multiple Hong Kong winner Elusive Prince. “We’ve got a weanling filly out of the mare by Nom du Jeu that we’ll keep and she’ll probably go back to Pins again this year,” Fells aid. “She’s from a great old Fairdale Stud family.” Burnzees Magic is a grandson of the Fell family’s Gr.1 Railway Handicap winner Ajasco whose daughter Silver Liner emulated her Ellerslie success. She also left the South African Gr.1 winners Petrava and Hoeberg and the successful stallion Jallad.

Goodwood Tops Broodmare Sale 10 May 2012   Goodwood Stud provided the headline act during the National Broodmare Sale when So Divine topped the session. The winning High Chaparral mare, who has yet to go to stud, was also Gr 3 placed in the Manawatu Classic. Out of the Star Way mare Argante, So Divine is a sister to the Gr 1 VRC Derby and Spring Champion Stakes winner Monaco Consul. It is also the family of the Gr 1 Australian Guineas winner and sire Military Plume and Singapore Gr 1 winner Con Air. Goodwood presented So Divine to a keen buying bench and she was knocked down for $130,000 to Queensland agent John Foote. “We were pretty confident that she would make around that figure,” William Fell said. “She’s very well-related and we were certainly happy to have her in our draft.” Goodwood also enjoyed a top result during the weanling sale with a Startcraft filly that made $51,000. She is the first foal of the Listed Strutt Stakes winner Cabazon, a daughter of Redoute’s Choice, who has also second in the Tasmanian Oaks.

Progressive Filly Wins Again 23 Apr 2012 Smart southern filly Semper Plus maintained her excellent winning strike rate at yesterday’s Beaumont meeting. The three-year-old thumped her Rating 75 rivals to post the fourth victory of her 14-start career. A graduate of Goodwood Stud, she is prepared by John and Karen Parsons and was ridden by the in-form Alex Forbes. By Howbaddouwantit, Semper Plus is a daughter of the winning Star Way mare Grandiose. She is a grand-daughter of the Gr 1 Railway Handicap winner Silver Liner, who was also a star in the breeding barn. She produced the champion South African three-year-old Petrava, who in turn left triple Gr 1 winner Hoeberg and successful sire Jallad.

Jetset Lad To Fly Flag In Brisbane 22 Apr 2012 A Group One-performed Goodwood Stud graduate will spearhead Taranaki trainer John Wheeler’s team to the Queensland winter carnival. Easter Handicap fourth placegetter Jetset Lad has been confirmed for Brisbane in the wake of his top last-start effort at Ellerslie. “It was a huge run after he missed the jump by probably a length and ended up five wide,” Wheeler said. “She (Spratt) had to chug forward from there and she did the best she could in the circumstances. “The horse is the author of his own destiny really. He’s a bit of a loose cannon and still tends to do a few things wrong, but he is a fair sort.” Wheeler is keen to stake a place in another Gr 1 feature in Brisbane and a race he won twice in the early 1990s with his former star Rough Habit. “He’ll be going and will be aimed at the Stradbroke, but if he doesn’t get in that then there are plenty of other handicap sprints around for him,” he said. By Elusive City, Jetset Lad is out of the winning Jetball mare Jetset Lass, who is a half-sister to Singapore Gr 3 winner Sky Frontier. It is also the family of the dual Gr 1 Underwood Stakes and Doomben Cup winner Perlin.

Simply The Best Back In Business 19 Mar 2012 Goodwood Stud graduate Simply The Best rewarded his connections’ patience with an impressive win in Singapore last night. The now four-year-old by Golden Slipper winner Stratum was a major force when he began his career at Kranji in August 2010, racking up four wins in six starts to earn himself a shot at the Singapore Three-Year-Old Challenge in 2011. A third placing in the first Leg, the Sprint race over 1200m was his best result and his form tapered off thereafter, but more worryingly for his trainer Desmond Koh and owner the Paiza Stable, Simply The Best became a barrier rogue, a situation which necessitated a break. The rest helped recharge the batteries, but the head was obviously still not fixed when he again became fractious in the barriers at his comeback race on December 4. Koh sent him back for reschooling with the enlisted help of leading jockey Joao Moreira. After weeks of coaxing at the pens, Simply The Best finally changed for the better when he loaded into the gate without any handlers. He passed two barrier trials and was ready for his return. Ridden by Moreira in a Class 3 race over 1200m on February 24, Simply The Best walked in like a lamb and ran on nicely for an encouraging third to Goal Keeper. With that run under the belt, his second race was highly-anticipated and the former four-time winner did not let his backers down when he produced an electrifying turn of foot at the 300m to shoot clear for a two and a-half length length win from the previously unbeaten Dollhouse. “That was a huge relief to see him back in the winner’s circle. He’s still not 100 per cent, probably 90 per cent now, but most importantly you saw how good he can be when he does not play up at the gates,” Koh said. “They released him the moment he walked in and that is probably how he should be loaded. On that run, I would say he is really up to the mark now and I may consider the Singapore Four-Year-Old Challenge as his next target. I would definitely consider the first Leg (Stewards’ Cup over 1400m) and seriously look at the second Leg (Patron’s Bowl) over the mile.” Moreira for one was extremely pleased he had seen his hard work pay off with a handsome win from the favourite. “I had to work for weeks to get him there. As you know he’s a horse who often got scratched behind the barriers but I knew from his third to Gingerbread Man in a Group race, he had ability,” said the Brazilian, who was at another riding treble having saluted earlier on Masthead and Nandowra. “That’s why I was very keen to get on him. And to see him win so well tonight is particularly satisfying as it would have been a shame to see such talent go to waste because of his barrier manners. I think he still had a little more to give me in the end. It’s just that when he got there in front, he had a tendency to stop. If another horse was there to chase him, I’m sure he would have scored by even further. I just had to show him the whip to keep his mind on the job.” Simply The Best has now recorded five wins and five placings from 12 starts for stakes earnings in excess of $250,000 for the Paiza Stable. He is out of the End Sweep mare Career Start who is a half-sister to the dam of the Gr 1 Oakleigh Plate winner Eagle Falls.

Elusive Prince Helps The Size Cause 09 Mar 2012 Elusive Prince helped trainer John Size to extend his lead in the Hong Kong Trainers’ Premiership with victory at Happy Valley last night. The Goodwood Stud graduate set up a winning double for the trainer who now leads the title race by 14 from Tony Cruz. Elusive Prince was a $23,000 purchase out of the farm’s 2009 Select Sale consignment to Karaka. By Elusive City, he is out of the winning Kinjite mare Burnzees Magic who is from an outstanding Fell family. It features the Gr 1 Railway Handicap winner Ajasco whose daughter Silver Liner emulated her Ellerslie success. Silver Liner produced the champion South African performer Petrava who in turn left crack filly Hoeberg and successful sire Jallad.

Group Glory For Goodwood 20 Feb 2012 Goodwood Stud celebrated their first Group-winning graduate when the progressive four-year-old Jetset Lad was victorious in the Taranaki Cup at New Plymouth. Placed in the Gr 1 Thorndon Mile at Trentham at his previous start, the John Wheeler-trained four-year-old claimed the Gr 3 feature with a grand performance on his home track. “He relaxed well and went a super race,” Wheeler said. “He was strong to the line and his demeanour is better than it’s ever been and he just keeps improving.” The son of Elusive City has now won five of his 20 starts and also finished runner-up last season to champion colt Jimmy Choux in the Gr 3 Wellington Stakes. Jetset Lad was reared at Rex and William Fell’s Goodwood Stud and is out of the Jetball mare Jetset Lass, who won three races. A half-sister to Singapore Gr 3 winner Sky Frontier, she tragically died while foaling to resident sire Chinese Dragon. However, Goodwood have her winning daughter Glass Half Full, by Van Nistelrooy, in foal to Nom du Jeu. She is a half-sister to Jetset Lad and the farm is breeding from her with the Stewart brothers who race Saturday’s Taranaki Cup winner. Goodwood Stud enjoyed a double strike at New Plymouth as they also bred and sold the Rating 85 winner Bruno. By Howbaddouwantit, he is out of Midas Touchwho is a half-sister to the former Australian Horse of the Year and Gr 1 Melbourne Cup winner Hyperno.

Chinese Dragon Yearlings In Demand 09 Feb 2012 Chinese Dragon’s yearlings enjoyed a solid fan base through the Karaka sales series with a colt from the family of champion stayer Castletown the top-seller. The son of Goodwood Stud’s resident stallion out of the Grosvenor mare Light Of Ahram, dam of two multiple winners, realised $40,000. She is a direct descendant of Mona Curragh who produced the three-time Wellington Cup, Auckland Cup, Caulfield Stakes and NZ Derby winner Castletown. Trade was brisk for Goodwood during the Festival Sale with the quartet of  Chinese Dragon yearlings averaging nearly $19,000. A son of O’Reilly from the family of Flying Spur provided the Select Sale highlight when he went to Hong Kong interests for $72,500. A pair of Savabeel colts were also popular and sold to prominent owner Deborah Ho and Te Awamutu trainer Graeme Sanders for $70,000 and $52,500 respectively. Business was testing during the Premier Sale with a High Chaparral colt from the family of champion stayer No de Jeu going to Cambridge horseman Tony Pike for $65,00.

Phantom Brew Steps Up To The Mark 13 Jan 2012 Mark down Phantom Brew as a horse to follow after he again demonstrated his ample talent at yesterday's Ballarat meeting in Melbourne. Trained at Caulfield by Colin Little, the Goodwood Stud graduate showed his appreciation of a metric mile with a stylish victory. The son of Elusive City has now won twice from his eight starts and also has a further four placings on his record. He was purchased by Little for $25,000 out of the Palmerston North farm's 2009 Select Sale consignment to Karaka. Phantom Brew is out of the Dahar mare Pina Colada who is a half-sister to the Gr 2 Enerco Stakes winner Marconee. She has left five winners from six foals to race and Listed New Zealand St Leger winner Arrevirderci also features in the family.

Semper Plus Trounces Rivals 03 Jan 2012 Promising three-year-old Semper Plus continued her hot form at Wingatui on Boxing Day with another impressive victory. The Goodwood Stud graduate claimed the Dunedin Guineas Prelude in fine style for the third victory of her 10-start career. Trained by John and Karen Parsons, she is a daughter of the farm's resident stallion Howbaddouwantit.

"All the top trainers and buyers from Australia were looking at them and they've all gone to the right people." Among those to secure Chinese Dragon youngsters were Te Akau and Wexford Stables and trainers Lisa Latta, Mike Breslin and Francis Finnegan. "We've even got people coming to the farm in the next few weeks looking to buy them out of the paddock," Fell said. Chinese Dragon's top lot was the half-sister to Gr 1 Ellerslie Sires' Produce Stakes winner Mi Jubilee offered by Goodwood on behalf of Wanganui breeder Gordon Lambert. She was purchased by David Ellis for $80,000 and will be raced by the stud and American Dick Hale, who raced Chinese Dragon.

The youngster is out of the winning Centaine mare Flytaine whose three foals to race have all won and include Mercury Mistress (Listed NZ Bloodstock Air Freight Stakes). Trade was also pleasing for Goodwood in the Festival Sale with their highlight the Dubleo yearling who went to prominent Auckland owner Peter Walker for $40,000. The colt is out of the winning Redoute's Choice mare Diagonal who is from the Gr 1 family of Tristanagh (VRC Oaks, 1000 Guineas) and Dupain (Brisbane Cup).

Well-Related 3YO Triumphs 03 Jan 2011 Memories of the former top-class stayer Hyperno were revived at Paeroa today when Goodwood Stud graduate Bruno opened his winning account. The three-year-old showed he had a bright middle-distance future when he was successful over 2100 metres at just his fifth appearance. "He's a big, weak type and he's been screaming out for more ground," trainer Jakki Good said. "He'll have one or two more runs this campaign and then turn him out - we'll give him plenty of time." Bruno was given a cosy run in the trail by Jason Collett, who worked off the fence before the field turned for home. They challenged soon after straightening and, after hitting the front 200 metres out, held a strong gallop to strike his first winning blow.  "Jason gave him a lovely ride and he won really well," Good said.

Outstanding 2011 karaka Yearling draft 21 Dec 2010 Expectations and excitement are mounting at Goodwood Stud ahead of Karaka where the first crop of Chinese Dragon will be presented at the National Yearling Sales.  Rex and William Fell's foundation stallion is well-represented in the farm’s biggest draft yet spread through all three divisions of the auction. “We’ve got 12 Chinese Dragons and a total of 27 in all and we’re very pleased and excited about the quality and depth throughout,” William Fell said. A son of Stravinsky and the Alydar mare Fabulous Fairy, whose dam Fairy Footsteps won the Group One English 1000 Guineas, Chinese Dragon was a juvenile winner in Ireland before furthering his career in the United States. The Gr 2 winner of the San Francisco Mile and Gr 1 placed in the Santa Anita Mile, he was retired to Goodwood Stud as the winner of seven of his 13 starts. “We’ve got two Chinese Dragons in the Premier Sale with a colt out You Remember Me (Lot 145) who has had six to the track for six winners, including the stakes-winner Etoile Du Nord,” Fell said. “She’s been a great producer and this colt is a spitting image of Chinese Dragon with a lot of quality about him and a great head.” The farm’s co-top lot at the 2010 sale was an O’Reilly filly out of You Remember Me who was knocked down to the Sydney-based bloodstock agent Steve Brem for $170,000. Chinese Dragon’s daughter (Lot 444) boasts a Gr 1 pedigree being a half-sister to the Ellerslie Sires’ Produce Stakes winner and champion juvenile filly Mi Jubilee.  "This one is also very similar to her sire with a great look and shoulder. The Chinese Dragons are outstanding to deal with and we’re pretty excited about his future.” In the Premier Sale consignment, Fell also singled out a Tale Of The Cat filly (Lot 377) for special mention. “She is an outstanding first foal for Just Peaches and is very correct and oozes quality,” he said. By Howbaddouwantit, Just Peaches is a grand-daughter of the former top racemare and multiple Gr 1 performer Daisy. “Our Red Ransom filly (Lot 315) is a lovely type as well and is out of the Zabeel mare Fleureel,” Fell said. The dam is a sister to the Gr 1 Melbourne Cup winner Jezabeel. “We will also be offering some quality yearlings by Pins, Holy Roman Emperor (Lot 101) and Testa Rossa (Lot 283) so we’ve got an excellent selection,” Fell said. Goodwood will also present yearlings by Pins (Lot 333) out of a More Than Ready mare and a half-brother to Gr 2 Sandown Guineas winner Schilling by Snitzel (Lot 433). In the Select draft, high expectations were held for two more Chinese Dragon-sired youngsters. “The colt out of Flytaine (Lot 861) is a half-brother to Mercury Mistress, who has been a stakes-winner, and he’s a beautiful type and one of the stand-outs for sure,” Fell said. “There’s also a filly out of Gypsy Rose (Lot 900) who is a really nice individual and pretty hard to fault.” Gypsy Rose, who like Flytaine is a daughter of Centaine, hails from the family of the Gr 1 Epsom Handicap winner Rock Kingdom. Chinese Dragon will be further represented by Lots 640, 872, 1022 and 1072 while the consignment is completed by colts by Volksraad (Lot 628), Pins (Lot 825), Iffraaj (Lot 1034) and Elusive Quality (Lot 1118) and daughters of Iffraaj (Lot 512 and 959).

Home-Bred Simply The Best In Singapore 06 Dec 2010 Simply The Best is likely to be sent for a well-earned break after another impressive victory at Kranji on Sunday night. The Goodwood Stud-bred and sold gelding now boasts the record of four wins and two seconds from his six career starts. Simply The Best handled the rise to open company with ease to post his latest success over 1200 metres. “I wasn’t sure he would measure up but the way he won tells me he’s definitely got plenty of ability,” trainer Desmond Koh told the Singapore Turf Club's website. “They jammed on the brakes the early and when they bunched up around the 800 metres he suddenly found himself in the leading section, four wide. “I relaxed a little when I saw he seemed to be travelling freely within himself. But when the others started coming home at the 200m, I thought he was in trouble. “That was when he kicked again, which goes to show he’s looking for more ground. “I will probably give him a break and look at the Three-Year-Old Challenge next year.” The autumn series will kick off with the Singapore 3YO Sprint on April 1. Simply The Best strode to the front 300 metres from home last night and held a strong gallop to win with authority. “Des told me to ride him a little handy as he resents the kickback. Though he was wide, he was on a free rein and running along very well," rider Saimee Jumaat said. “He had a tendency to wander around and loaf when he hit the front but once he put his mind on the job he kicked again. “It’s probably not the best way to ride him. He’s better off coming from the back, but the race panned out that way and I didn’t have many options.” By Stratum, Simply The Best was sold by Goodwood for $210,000 at the 2009 Ready to Run Sale. He is out of the winning End Sweep mare Career Start whose Pins colt made $170,000 during the Premier Sale at Karaka earlier this year.

Another Cracker For Chinese Dragon 18 Aug 2010 The first foal of the season for exciting resident stallion Chinese Dragon has been welcomed at Goodwood Stud with the arrival of a well-related colt. "He's a nice, big strong fellow and a bay - he's very typical of the breed and they've all got good presence about them," studmaster William Fell said. The newcomer is out of the Mi Preferido mare Mi Steel and a half-brother to Gr 1 Ellerslie Sires' Produce Stakes winner Mi Jubilee. The colt's older sister will also feature among Goodwood's consignment to next year's New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sales.

Best Yet To Come From Lol 02 Aug 2010 Lol showed she would be a serious contender for three-year-old fillies' honours this season with another eye-catching effort in the Listed Ryder Stakes. The daughter of General Nediym was slow away on Saturday and hit the line strongly to finish an excellent third and an all-important black-type credit. The Goodwood Stud graduate has had little luck in her two starts since an impressive win on debut at Avondale last month. She then had no favours at Ruakaka where she was doing her best work at the finish in behind the placegetters in the Listed Northland Breeders' Stakes. "She was a touch slow and was then squeezed out and it's hard to come from the back at Whangarei," Cambridge co-trainer Bjorn Baker said. "She did pretty well to finish as close as she did in the end." Lol again did herself no favours when missing the kick at Otaki and her effort to run third was first-class under the circumstances. "She's always showed a lot of ability and is very genuine - there's also a fair bit of improvement to come from her yet," Baker said

Lol a Promising Start to Goodwood Stud 20 Jul 2010 Luckless Lol Chasing Black-Type   Promising General Nediym filly Lol will look to turn her luck around when she takes aim at the Listed Ryder Stakes at Otaki later this month. The talented juvenile hit the line well for sixth in Saturday's Northland Breeders' Stakes after an interrupted run. Lol was a stylish winner at her previous Avondale debut to credit her connections with an historic victory. "We bought her dam for $90,000 at the Magic Millions and she was the first Goodwood Stud-bred to win," William Fell said. "She didn't meet reserve at the sales so we decided to race her ourselves." Trained at Cambridge by Murray and Bjorn Baker, Lol is out of Zabeel mare Kazak who is a sister to Gr 1 VRC Oaks runner-up Manang. Goodwood will be offering Lol's half-brother by Pins at the Ready to Run Sale later this year while Kazak is in foal to multiple Gr 1 winner Alamosa.

It is also the family of the Gr 2 winning sprinter Ruud Van Slaats (Cal Isuzu Stakes, Auckland Thoroughbred Breeders' Stakes).

Lot 159 is a son of resident stallion Howbaddouwantit out of a half-sister to the Listed Castletown Stakes winner Pearly Spencer. "He's a typical Howbaddounwantit - a strong and correct colt and there's a lot to like about him as well," Fell said. The youngster hails from the Gr 1 winning family of Bawalaksana (Telegraph Handicap, Railway Handicap) and Porsha (NZ 1000 Guineas).
