One to Watch – Ballarat

Tara Madgwick - Monday October 31
Foxwedge has been turning it on since his progeny turned three and added another smart winner to the tally at Ballarat on Monday.

Fox Hall as a yearlingPrepared by Tony McEvoy, Fox Hall did plenty wrong in his first two starts when finishing second at Gawler and Bendigo, but put that behind him for this assignment.

Sent straight to the front in the 1400 metre maiden, Fox Hall made all the running and dashed clear to win by a length as favourite.

A $170,000 Inglis Easter Session II purchase from the draft of Edinglassie Stud for McEvoy Mitchell Racing, Fox Hall bares a close resemblance to his Group I winning sire.

He is the third winner from Val de Loire, a winning daughter of stakes-winner Greta Hall from the family of Group I winners Royal Descent and Golden Sword.

Foxwedge mas made a flying start to spring and is the only second crop sire with two Australian stakes-winners on the board courtesy of Foxplay and Kentucky Miss.

He stands at Newgate at a fee of $22,000 and is great value at his lowest fee since he retired to stud in 2012.
