Another big one for CAPTAINTREACHEROUS, recording eight winners across the country and a few North American stars but we’ll start with yet another impressive two-year-old winner for STAY HUNGRY in Sharp Interest (bred by P & S Ryan) who won in just her second start at Charlton to give the rising star sire fourteen for the season. This was off the back of a 1:49.2 Keystone Classic division win at The Meadows in the US for his three-year-old filly Sarasota Hanover.
CAPTAIN also had two new two-year-olds on the winners’ list – fillies Homebound (Matt Day) on debut at Bathurst and Crusader Miss (Mal Moddy) in 1:55.9 by a massive 16m at Newcastle. At Melton, another of his brilliant mares Sahara Breeze (Bruce Paul + Peter Watkinson) hit the $240,000 mark with her 1:55.1 win while the boys were represented by Chart Topper (Lauriston Bloodstock) in a heat of the Canola Cup, Keyang Tokyo (Marg Lee) reaching $84,000 with his 7-Eleven Cup win at Kilmore and Treacherous Times (M & S Moloney) with win #15 at Bendigo. At Redcliffe, CAPTAIN secured a double with Master Charles (J & L Wallace) taking his bank to $76,000 and Eternal Gold going back-to-back for $66,000.
There’s a reason CAPTAINTREACHEROUS runners in Australia can boast a super impressive average of more than $80,000 each! In North America his juveniles continue to fire – two-year-olds Rodeo Drive Diva (Red Mile, 1:51, $77,000 Beach Glass division) and Daily Double Deo (Freehold, 1:55.3, $50,000 Renaissance Final) represented while Rocket Deo claimed herself an $85,000 division of the Bluegrass Series at The Red Mile in 1:51.4.
