New 2YO Winner for Rubick

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday July 12

Anybody that was at Rosehill on Silver Slipper day in 2008 is unlikely to ever forget the winner Amelia’s Dream and she featured on Wednesday as the dam of a new two year-old winner at Doomben by Rubick.

Trained by Chris Waller, Give Him Wings was sent to Brisbane after two recent runs in Sydney midweek metro maidens and proved a tough nut to crack, scoring a tenacious head win in the 1350m maiden at his fourth start.

A $230,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Element Hill draft for ARJB Racing, Give Him Wings is a half-brother to stakes-placed Impasse and Better Land being the eighth winner from eight to race from Group II winner Amelia’s Dream.

By champion sire Redoute’s Choice, Amelia’s Dream raced just twice for two wins and her six length thrashing of Hips Don’t Lie in the Silver Slipper was the last time we saw her as she pulled up lame and sadly never raced again.

Amelia’s Dream has a yearling colt by Written Tycoon and after missing to Capitalist was covered last year by So You Think.

Give Him Wings is line bred to blue hen Shantha's Choice.

Give Him Wings is the seventh two year-old winner (one in NZ, six in Australia ) this season for Rubick, who has had a very successful season siring 96 winners of over $9.5million with five stakes-winners including four Group winners headed by dual Group I winner Jacquinot, who makes his debut at Widden Stud this spring.

Rubick stands at Swettenham at a fee of $27,500.
