One to Watch – Sale

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday November 15
Smart Missile has had a flow of winners since the start of spring and this one caught our eye as a horse to follow from Sale on Tuesday.

Inwood as a yearlingPrepared by David Brideoake for Peter Moody’s wife Sarah and partners, three year-old colt Inwood did plenty wrong at his first two starts including a second at Mornington last month.

He put it altogether third time lucky, when leading throughout to win over 1740 metres by a length and a half as favourite.

A $100,000 Inglis Easter Session II purchase for Moody Racing from the Torryburn Stud draft, Inwood is the third winner from three foals to race from Zabeel mare Pixels, a daughter of stakes-winner Snapshots from the family of triple Group I winner Sea Siren.

Torryburn Stud will offer the current yearling from Pixels, a filly by Snitzel as Lot 319 at the 2017 Magic Millions Yearling Sale.

Inwood is the 21st Australian winner this season for Arrowfield Stud’s Smart Missile, who is the leading Australian Second Season Sire by winners and earnings.

The Champion First Season Sire of 2015/2016, Smart Missile stands at a fee of $22,000.
