Newgate
Farm's exciting young sire Sizzling made his mark on Cup Day to sire his very
first winner.
Opening her account with a determined win at Murwillumbah was the Angela Plumb
trained filly Sugar Sizzle, who carried the Aquis Farm colours to victory.
She beat older rivals to win the 900 metre open maiden by a short head with
nearly five lengths back to the third horse, showing sharp improvement on her
first outing at the Gold Coast last month when she raced greenly from the
outside gate.
A $55,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Marquee Stud draft for Aquis
Farm/Blue Sky Bloodstock, Sugar Sizzle is the second winner from Exceed and
Excel mare Sugar Rose, who comes from the family of dual Group I winner Egg
Tart.
A Group I winning two year-old by champion sire Snitzel, Sizzling has been
popular with breeders covering nearly 400 mares in his first three seasons and
stands at a fee of $16,500.
