Daughter of Playing God, Kay Cee won the Kingston Town Classic.
Playing God was represented by his first Group 1 winner when his 3-year-old daughter Kay Cee won the Kingston Town Classic over 1800 metres at Ascot. Based at Mungrup Stud, where he stood for a fee of $11,000 (inc GST) this year, Playing God himself won back-to-back runnings of the Kingston Town Classic in 2010 and 2011.
Now the winner of almost $1,000,000 in prize money, Kay Cee is the second foal out of the once-raced mare Flirt 'N' Hope who was not served in either 2017 or 2018.
Playing God's former barn mate, Red Hot Choice, sired his first stakes winner on Saturday when his 3-year-old daughter Sanabrenna won the Sir Ernest Lee Sterre Classic (Listed) at Ascot.
A son of Redoute's Choice, Red Hot Choice died in 2017 having covered 5 books of mares.
The WATC Jungle Dawn Classic (Listed) at Ascot was won by Beautiful Mind who became the 23rd stakes winner for Coolmore Australia's So You Think. The lightly raced Lindsey Smith-trained mare has been given plenty of time to mature and added valuable black type to her already impressive record when scoring neck win in the 1400 metre feature.
A $250,000 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale purchase from the Goldin Farms draft for Boomer Bloodstock and her trainer, Beautiful Mind was bred by Goldin Farms and is the best of two winners from SAJC Australasian Oaks (Group 1) winner Small Minds.
Small Minds has a yearling filly by Fastnet Rock and a colt foal to follow by the same sire.
Spurcraft, a 6-year-old son of Jet Spur, won the Bribe Handicap (Listed) at Doomben to provide his sire with his 9th stakes winner and his trainer with her first.
The Charlotte White-trained gelding scored by 2 and three quarter lengths and is now likely to head to the Falvelon Stakes (Listed).
His sire is based at Corella Stud where he stood the 2019 season for an advertised fee of $3,850 (inc GST).
In New Zealand, Not A Single Doubt and Prosir both added to their stakes winners tallies.
Juvenile colt Not An Option remained unbeaten in the the Challenge Stakes (Group 2) at Trentham and in doing so become the 67th stakes winner for Arrowfield Stud's Not A Single Doubt.
A NZ$240,000 purchase by Pike Racing at Karaka 2019 Book 1 from the draft of Curraghmore, Not An Option is the second foal out of the Group 2 winning Savabeel mare Chintz. His second dam is Charmed who produced Group 1 winner Chenille.
At Ellerslie, Riodini, a 3-year-old son of Rich Hill Stud's Prosir, took out the Bonecrusher Stakes (Group 3) to provide his sire with his first stakes winner.
Trained by Nigel Tiley, Riodini will be aimed at the Auckland Guineas (Group 2) back at Ellerslie on New Year's Day.
Bred and part-owned by Alan Galbraith QC, Riodini is the first foal of his handy mare Giardini and he comes from the family of Hawkes Bay Guineas (Group 2) winner Sir Andrew and All Aged Stakes (Group 1) winner Des's Dream.
Prosiri's 2019 fee was set at NZ$7,000 (plus GST).
