BC3’s Tri-continental Treat

10th Aug 2010

With the BC3 Future Stars sale only 12 days away, punters were reminded of the young brand’s growing international presence over the weekend with 4 winners across 3 continents in the space of 4 days. With all 4 winners having their first outings this preparation, current owners are looking forward to the next few months of racing, whilst prospective buyers have plenty to be excited about ahead of the BC3 Future Stars Sale on Sunday August 22 at Inglis Oaklands.

Friday’s strong win by Stratum gelding Gig Guide against a quality field at Geelong in Australia started the ball rolling. His turn of foot over the last 300 metres as he put paid to both the promising Darley gelding Garvan and the impeccably bred Redoute’s Choice colt Hamel, gave onlookers an insight to a potential 3YO Spring performer.

On Sunday, under the sunny skies of the Del Mar Carnival in California 2010 graduate, Cactus Jane, a filly by Cactus Ridge out of Penguin Parade (Miswaki) stepped out for her debut start. She gave the holiday punters something to celebrate with a storming finish to run away from the field and score an easy 3 length victory.

Later that day in Japan, another debutante, this time from the 2009 US draft, Highest Climb, a colt by Empire Maker out of Rahy Dolly, became BC3’s first Japanese winner when he scored a neck victory at Hakodate over 1,000 metres.

And finally, on Monday at Swan Hill, back in Australia, impressive Lonhro gelding Johnnydrama scored an easy debut win at his second start and now looks set for a promising Spring campaign.

As the Australian Spring looms close, buyers are encouraged to check out the 35 horses on offer at Inglis on August 22 by visiting www.bc3.com or Inglis TV
