A new winner each on
Tuesday has kept Smart Missile and Dream Ahead rolling at the top end of the
second sires table.
Smart Missile was first on the board when Glonass made a winning debut at
Bathurst for trainer Michael Costa.
A 190,000 purchase at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale for Trainer Connections
and Michael Costa from the draft of Kitchwin Hills, Glonass is a half-brother
to Gr2 VRC Sires Produce Stakes winner Twilight Royale and the sixth winner for
Royal Season, a daughter of Royal Academy.
Dream Ahead's winner came two races later at the same track courtesy of Turf
Tapper, a convincing two length winner when having his second career start for
Bjorn Baker.
He was a $45,000 buy for Michael Otto Bloodstock from the draft of Clarke and
Croft Bloodstock at Inglis Classic Sale Summer Book.
He becomes the third winner for Octagonal mare Chiasmus, a half-sister to Gr.1
Crown Oaks winner Tributes and from the family of Singapore champion Top Spin.
Both Smart Missile and Dream Ahead have had strong starts to the new season.
Smart Missile has booted well clear of the pack on the list of winners with
Glonass becoming his ninth.
Dream Ahead is currently third on the prizemoney table highlighted by last
start Melbourne stakes winner Ken's Dream.
Smart Missile is standing the current season at Arrowfield Stud on a fee of
$22,000.
Dream Ahead stands at Emirates Park at a fee of $27,500.
