Emerald Kingdom Defiant in BRC Sprint

Mark Smith - Saturday May 22

The winner of the Listed Sunshine Coast Cup on January 30, Emerald Kingdom defied a bunch of Stradbroke Handicap hopefuls in Saturday's Group III BRC Sprint at Doomben.

Sent off a $34 outsider following a troubled unplaced run in the Group II Victory Stakes at his most recent start at Eagle Farm, the Robert Heathcote-trained 6yo gelding refused to give up his lead in the straight to defeat the National Broodmare Sale-bound Tofane by one and a quarter lengths with Axe a short-half-head back in third.

With his second stakes win, the 6yo son of Bryannbo's Gift advanced his record to ten wins, two seconds and three thirds from 24 starts with earnings of $467,200.

by Shipton lodge, Emerald Kingdom is a full brother to Steel Frost, who won nine races, including the Listed SAJC City of Marion Stakes and Listed City of Adelaide Hcp.

They are out of the Commands mare Horshoe who only had the three foals, all by of  Bryannbo's Gift, and all were winners.

A half-sister to the Listed MRC Debutant Stakes winner Eramore (Stratum), Horshoe is out of the Listed Dark Jewel Classic winner Romare Marscay.

Emerald Kingdom is one of two stakes-winner for Bryannbo's Gift.

A stakes-placed son of Zabeel and the Group 1 Oakleigh Plate winner Dantelagh, Bryannbo's Gift left 76 live foals in nine seasons at stud.

He died in 2019.
