Thanks
to a metropolitan quinella on Wednesday at Toowoomba, Grandview Stud's
promising young sire Whittington brought up his fifth individual winner from
only twelve starters.
The Michael Nolan trained colt Patches jumped well settling in second position
and hit the lead in the straight only to be challenged by Adamdeeant trained by
Matt Kropp. Both horses fought on well and look to be nice chances in the
upcoming Capricornia Two year old classic race coming up in Rockhampton in
April.
By world renowned shuttle sire Tale of the Cat (USA), Whittington a brilliant
two year-old and won the Listed ATC Breeders Plate for champion trainer Gai
Waterhouse. That speed and precocity has translated to his progeny with
Whittington off to a great start with 41% winners to runners so far.
Whittington covered his biggest book of 107 mares to date at Grandview Stud
last year so the future is looking bright.
