First Stakes Winner for Barbados

Mark Smith - Saturday April 18

Trainer Gordon Richards had a day out at Morphettville on Saturday with stable star Gytrash downing Sunlight in the feature R N Irwin Stakes while the promising 3yo gelding Garner opened his stakes account in the Listed Redelva Stakes (1100m) to credit his sire Barbados with his first stakes-winner.

Not a hint of a fluke about this. After racing three and four wide with cover, Garner put a space on them in the closing stages under Jason Holder to defeat the Fighting Sun gelding Roccabascerana by two and a quarter lengths with the Sizzling filly Sizzlefly a long-neck back in third.Garner winning at Caulfield - image Grant Courtney

Third in the Listed Incognitus Stakes at Flemington and a last start second in the Listed Manahi Stakes at Morphettville, Garner advances his overall record to 4 wins, 4 seconds and 1 third from 9 starts with earnings of $324,450.

He was the third winner on the day for Richards.

Bred by part-owner Mark Sheehan, Garner is the best of five winners from as many to race out of the well-performed Foxhound mare Jaalippy.

Also bred and raced by Sheehan and trained by Richards, Jaalippy won six and placed in six of her 30 starts including a second in the Listed Matrice Stakes.

When she won over 1100 metres at Caulfield in a fillies and mares race in 2009, Jaalippy defeated Velocitea with Take All Of Me, Anne Song, Red Flair, Cerberus Gal and Believe'N'succeed in the beaten division.

Velocitea won four stakes races highlighted by the 2010 Group 1 SAJC Goodwood Handicap.

Take All Of Me is the dam of Group II SAJC Euclase Stakes winner I'll Have A Bit.

Annesong won the Group III MRC Hyderabad Stakes.

Red Flair won the Group III MRC Mannerism Stakes while Cerberus Gal is the dam of Dundeel's Group III ATC The Schweppervescence Stakes winner Irukandji.Barbados in his racing days

But they all have to bow to Believe'N'succeed who is the dam of Group 1 Epsom Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck and the Group 1 ARC Railway Stakes winner Bounding who is the dam of the US$4.1 million Curlin colt at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

Jaalippy has been a reliable producer without hitting those heights.  She has had a foal in her first eight seasons at stud. The daughter of Foxhound has an unraced 2yo filly by Cluster named Spinola Bay and a yearling gelding and weanling colt by Zebedee (GB).

She was covered again last spring by Ducatoon Park’s lightly used Barbados a royally-bred son of Redoute's Choice out of the dual Group 1 winner Virage De Fortune (Anabaa).

The grey son of Redoute's Choice made just one start at two, separating the future Group III Newcastle Newmarket winner Bello and future Group I Champion Stakes winner Doctor Doom over 1100 metres at Warwick Farm.

Barbados broke his maiden over 1100 metres when making his seasonal bow at Canterbury.

After three unplaced runs, time was called on his career due to muscle wastage resulting from his accident.

His dam Virage de Fortune (Anabaa) was purchased by Darley Stud for $3.4 million following a stellar career on the racetrack with her eight wins highlighted by the Group I MVRC Australia Stakes and Group I QTC Sires' Produce Stakes.
