Foxwedge
has been turning it on since his progeny turned three and added another smart
winner to the tally at Ballarat on Monday.
Prepared 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.
