Two for Flying Artie
Last season’s JJ Atkins Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) runner-up Giannis (3 c ex Palace Rock by Fastnet Rock) started his three-year-old season with a win when he landed the Dulcify Stakes (Listed, 1500m) at Kembla Grange. Bought by Rhys Smith for $67,500 from Sledmere Stud at the 2019 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale, Giannis scored by a nose from favourite Tiger Of Malay (Extreme Choice), with Royalzel (Snitzel) back in third. Giannis becomes the second stakes winner for Newgate Farm’s Flying Artie (Artie Schiller) who is also the sire of last season’s Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Artorius. He now sits at the head of the leading second season sires table in Australia by earnings.
