It’s no wonder that Ascot trainer Trevor Andrews targeted the progeny of new stallion Lucky Street at the recent Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sales, as it was he that trained the precocious colt to win 6 races including the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate, the Magic Millions 2yo Classic, the Perth Stakes and the Miss Andretti Stakes too! Lucky Street scored four of his six wins as a two year old, but was also tough enough to train on and win as an older horse in stakes company twice too.
As a stallion, he stands for $5,500 and has produced an exciting book of youngsters at his first yearling sale. Along with Trevor, we managed to buy two of them, and this one, a well balanced, racy, athletic colt from the Blackfriars mare Belissimo Babe has a handy black type pedigree to back up his good looks. He’s an August foal, and looks just the type of jump and run horse to take advantage of all those bonuses that are on offer for two and three year old’s through the Westspeed Platinum Bonus scheme-which in my humble opinion as an owner, is absolutely irresistible.
I hadn’t originally intended to buy this colt at the yearling sale as he came through late in the day and I’d already bought 3 yearlings which I was very happy with. However, I’d given him a big tick at the on-farm inspections a few weeks earlier, and so just for interest’s sake, I thought I’d wait and see what he went for in the ring and if he was cheap enough I’d throw in a bid. I was prepared to buy him for anything under $20,000, and in fact the hammer fell at $17,000 which I consider to be a bargain especially when you consider that horses in the Westspeed Platinum bonus scheme will race for a first prize of $74,000 every time they step out in a Saturday city race in both their two year old and three year old seasons!
If you’re considering buying a share in this horse, take a look at the video that we’ve put together of him out in his paddock early in March. You can see it by clicking on this link: https://vimeo.com/399590865. He looks even more fabulous since the sale, and he’ll continue to improve as he goes through the breaking in stage, and then right through to trials and races.
All in all, for what we’re selling him for, I doubt you’ll find a nicer horse to buy into in the ‘less than two grand a share’ market.
I hope you can join me in racing this nice horse for not a lot of money at all!
