Gum Farm's young sire War posted his first winner at Devonport in Tasmania on
Sunday when the promising filly Kwai scored a debut win for the Barry Campbell
Stable in the Star Thoroughbreds colours.
Kwai was a short priced favourite following a facile barrier trial win on Jun5
and coasted home and easy two length winner in the 1000 metre maiden beating
older rivals.
A $45,000 Magic Millions Tasmania purchase from the Armidale Stud draft for Star
Thoroughbreds / Boomer Bloodstock, Kwai runs in the sole ownership of Star
Thoroughbreds principal Denise Martin.
She is the second winner from Pontington, a half-sister by Delago Brom to
stakes-winners Black Vanquish and Minnesota Shark from Group II winner Ponton
Flyer.
A Group III winning son of More Than Ready (USA) from the Denise's Joy family,
War stands at a fee of $6,600.
