Queensland
has a terrific line up of young stallions coming through and one of those is Grandview
Stud's Whittington, who had a metro winner on Saturday in Stampe and a new maiden
winner at Mackay on Monday in Idle Jack.
The Chris Munce trained gelding Stampe posted his third win from nine starts
when saluting at Doomben on Saturday over 1350 metres and has now won just shy
of $140,000 in prizemoney.
Progressive youngster Idle Jack made it two winners in three days for
Whittington when casting off maiden status at Mackay on Monday with a two and a
half length win over 1300 metres.
A brilliant stakes-winning two year-old by Tale of the Cat (USA), Whittington
has delivered eight first crop winners so far and a further six place-getters
indicating there are many more winners to come.
Whittington covered his biggest book so far last spring of 107 mares and is
well priced this year at $6,600.
