Hus Der Lieften wins $100,000 Bonus

2nd Aug 2009

The Gerald Ryan trained Easter blueblood Hus Der Lieften became the latest beneficiary of the Inglis Race Series when picking up the $100,000 Bonus in Saturday’s Rosebud Inglis Bonus at Rosehill.

The race attracted a high quality field, with the first three across the line all to aim up at the Group 1 STC Golden Rose in four weeks time at the same track.

Having only his third career start HUS DER LIEFTEN ($1,200,000 2008 Easter, 3c Hussonet-Sunday Valentine), continues to impress his trainer & owners, whom include his yearling sale buyer Tony Bott of Evergreen Stud (pictured with Inglis Managing Director Mark Webster).

Offered by Arrowfield Stud, Hus Der Lieften is the most expensive yearling sold by Hussonet in Australasia, costing $1,200,000. Out of unraced Sunday Silence mare Sunday Valentine, Hus Der Lieften is a half-brother to Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) winner El Daana.

In an all Inglis finish, Hus Der Lieften charged home ahead of two other well above average colts in the stakes placed Stryker ($600,000 2008 Easter) and fellow blueblood Romanus ($500,000 2008 Easter).

Saturday's $100,000 Bonus is a timely reminder for connections wishing to nominate their 2009 yearling graduate for the next Inglis Race Series.
