From Breednet: It’s been a big 24 hours for Aquis Farm’s ‘fresh’ roster with Spieth’s first crop 2YOs displaying their wares at Gold Coast barrier trials on Monday, while another exciting newcomer in The Mission made his presence felt at two Deagon trials on Tuesday.
The 16-strong roster at Aquis is a heady mix of proven and promising and The Mission has definitely caught the imagination of breeders, covering over 100 mares in his first book.
From TDN: In this two-part feature, TDN AusNZ catches up with a handful of Australia and New Zealand’s highly skilled breakers and pre-trainers as they put next season’s 2-year-olds through their early paces. What do they think of the next generation of emerging juvenile talent, and which of the upcoming first-season sires have made the best impression with their first-crop progeny?
Today’s first instalment features Greg Bennett, Hinnerk Hueppe, Sam Beatson and Eion Kemp.
Greg Bennett (Fenwick Farm)
An immensely respected figure on the Australian thoroughbred landscape, Bennett has more than 40 years’ experience under his belt and has broken in the likes of the immortal Makybe Diva (GB) (Desert King {Ire}), elite racehorse and sire Written Tycoon, and other Group 1 winners such as Typhoon Tracy (Red Ransom {USA}), All Silent (Belong To Me {USA}), Ha Ha (Danehill {USA}) and Red Tracer (Dane Shadow).
