Flemington Winner for Animal Kingdom

Tara Madgwick - Sunday June 11
Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom (USA) added a fifth Australian winner to his tally at Flemington on Saturday when two year-old colt Royal Phoenix shared a dead heat victory with the promising Andaz, a full brother to Group II winner Arinosa.

Royal Phoenix hits the line locked with Andaz (grey) - Grant CourtneyThe Chris Waller trained Andaz was a Breednet 'One t Watch' when he scored on debut last month, so we know he has ability, so Royal Phoenix did a good job to match strides with him and share this win over 1100 metres.

Trained by Team Hawkes, Royal Phoenix was a $240,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Arrowfield draft and is a half-brother to Macau stakes-winner Sparta.

He is the second winner for Commands mare Helena Girl, who comes from the family of West Australian Group I winner Island Morn.

With five Australian winners to his credit headed by stakes-placed Lord Cecil, Animal Kingdom has made a pleasing start to his stud career for Arrowfield Stud.

He did not shuttle to Australia last year but is due back this spring at a fee of $27,500.
