Between Saturday 26 November to Saturday 3 December, eight winners by Reward For Effort saluted the judge for the first time.
This brings his tally for the season to 28 individual winners and takes him into the top 40 on the general sires list for individual winners.
Reward for Effort heads all Australian third-season
stallions in that category from Rothesay (25) and Star Witness (23). He is
certainly doing the job with only his third crop getting to the track this year,
with Big
Effort and Vikings Reward leading the charge with very impressive wins
in Adelaide
What a debut for Vikings Reward! He starts from barrier 10, comes from last on the turn and beats them by 2 lengths in very good time
. Big Effort had to race with one hind shoe and the rest, as they say, is history. At his first start since June, the powerful four-year-old dominated his rivals in the 1050m race, pressing forward from his wide draw to race outside leader The Castle Kat before bursting clear to win by 1-3/4 lengths.
Recently Reward For Effort added another significant milestone to his impressive CV.
Jumbo Luck became Reward For Effort's first Hong Kong winner when scoring a tough win on debut at Sha Tin for trainer Francis Lui and jockey Brent Prebble.
The son of Reward For Effort jumped nicely from barrier 5 before settling fourth and ultimately barging his way through the field, showing a very good turn of foot to win by 1/2 length. Reward For Effort has now had winners in Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau and South Africa.
