Stakes Breakthrough for Agreeable

Mark Smith - Friday October 14

Supporters of Agreeable had plenty to worry about when Kayla Crowther found herself buried in the pack approaching the home turn in Friday’s Listed Murray Bridge Gold Cup.

The heavens opened, and the daughter of Sebring was gifted an uninterrupted run when singled out with Lord Vladivostok over the final 100m.

Making her fourth start for Will Clarken, the former Anothony and Sam Freedman-trained inmate defeated Lord Vladivostok (Tavistock) by a short-half-head with Moscow Red (Road To Rock) one and three-quarter length back in third.

It was a stakes breakthrough for Agreeable, who was making her 15th black-type start, advancing her overall record to five wins, one second, and two thirds from 22 starts with earnings of $423,045.

“I was buried on the fence where Will told me not to be,” Crowther admitted.

“She travelled through the horses beautifully, got out at the right time and was really good late.”

Bred by TJS Bloodstock, Agreeable descends from the prolific family of Sovereign Edition’s sister Royal News (IRE).

Purchased by Dean Hawthorne Bloodstock for $125,000 on behalf of Jonathon Munz out of the Blue Gum Farm draft at the 2019 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, Agreeable is the best of three winners from as many to race out of the stakes-winning Husson (ARG) mare Affable.

Winner of the Listed VRC Gibson Carmichael Stakes, Affable is one of eight winners out of the winning Redoute’s Choice mare Lady Gracious, which also includes the multiple stakes-placed, half-million-dollar earner, Gracious Prospect (Tale Of The Cat).

The final foal of Affable is talented I Am Invincible gelding Attractable, who won the Gold Nugget at Ballarat in September.  

Agreeable becomes the 80th stakes winner for Widden Stud’s Sebring, who died in 2019.
