SA Breeders February 2025 Newsletter

SA racing enthusiasts will be focused on three high quality SA bred gallopers in this Saturdays exciting rendition of the classic 3yo feature race at Flemington the $1,000,000 Australian Guineas over 1600m.

The trio include current favourite and impressive first up winner Angel Capital (Harry Angel – Bahamas, by Teofilo)

The Clinton McDonald trained galloper, bred by the effervescent and very astute breeder SA Hall of Famer David Peacock was recently purchased by Yulong Stud as a potential Stallion prospect.

Angel Capital was sold by SA’s nursery of champions Mill Park at the 2023 Inglis Melbourne Premier yearling sale for $400,000 to successful Hong Kong based industry investors Upper Bloodstock.

Point And Shoot (Blue Point – Watchmespin, by Sepoy) bred by another SA Hall of Famer Harry Perks and the Toorak Thoroughbred Breeding venture is a late challenger with the Bjorn Baker-trained colt Point And Shoot recently confirmed for the $1 million classic after impressive victories in his past two races at Randwick in restricted grade.

Point And Shoot showed enough early career ability he may be a contender for the 3yo Classic race, after trainer Bjorn Baker thought highly enough of him as a yearling to outlay $240,000 to secure him at the 2023 Inglis Melbourne Premier yearling sale

Reigning 2024 VRC Derby winner Gold Rush Guru trained by Andrew Gluyas (American Pharoah - Glam Guru) rounds out the SA Bred trio and provides Harry Perks with his second runner in the Classic.

Good luck to all SA bred runners, breeders and owners.
