Have We Seen the Slipper Winner?

Tara Madgwick - Monday November 8

Gary Portelli has already won a Golden Slipper with the brilliant filly She Will Reign, but as he pointed out last Saturday it’s a lot more profitable to win it with a colt and he may have just the horse to do it.

From the last crop of foals sired by 2008 Golden Slipper winner Sebring, Sejardan blew his rivals away with a late charge to win the Group III ATC Breeders Plate last month and then proved the strength of that performance to win the $1million ATC Golden Gift last Saturday securing his place in next year’s $5million Golden Slipper.

A $160,000 Inglis Classic purchase for his trainer from the Middlebrook Valley Lodge draft, Sejardan was bred by Dale Miller, who retains a share in his ownership.

His pedigree is pure speed being by a Golden Slipper winner in Sebring, whose next two dams are by Golden Slipper winners Flying Spur and Luskin Star.

 



His dam Miss Amajardan was a very fast metro winning two year-old by Snitzel’s half-brother Hinchinbrook with her next two dams by champion sire Encosta de Lago and Danzero, who is yet another Golden Slipper winning sire in the pedigree.

Sejardan has three strains of Danehill 4 x 4 x 5 and his fourth dam is blue hen Procrastinate, so this likable colt has delivered everything his pedigree said he should to date.

The following images from Middlebrook Valley Lodge reveal a star colt in the making!

Born on August 30, 2019.

Up and running!

 

Growing fast!


Something special!
