Shesallshenanigans Makes it Two Showdowns for Toronado

15 April, 2023
by Mark Smith, breednet

After siring the inaugural winner of the $1,000,000 The Thoroughbred Breeders Victoria Showdown, Swettenham Stud’s high-flying Toronado (IRE) struck again with Shesallshenanigans in the valuable feature at Sandown-Lakeside on Saturday.

Given a positive ride by Linda Meech, the Simon Zahra-trained filly was strong to the line in defeating the Street Boss (USA) filly Elphinstone by three and a quarter lengths. Making a clean sweep for the fillies, the fast-finishing Treasurway (Starspangledbanner) was a short-head back in third.

Placed in the Listed Cinderella Stakes at Morphettville, Shesallshenanigans advanced her record to three wins and a third from five starts with earnings of $718,850.

Shesallshenanigans finished fourth on debut in the Listed Debutant Stakes at Caulfield, won by King’s Gambit, with Heuristic in third.

“It’s a special day, and I just love the way she went about it. Very professional and just got the job done, Zahra said.

“I’m rapt for all the owners and all the staff.

“You’re backing your judgment, and your owners are backing you, which is really important in this industry.

“They’ve let me do what I need to do, and obviously Ben and Justin are big backers of mine so to get a good win so early in they’ve back me, for these guys, it just gives them confidence.

“We’ve got Ben Cooper, who owns Merrick Station, Justin Docherty, who I think went in about 8 or 9 yearlings and by default, he just kept putting his hand up, which is great.

“She’s booked on a float on Monday. We’ll look after her. She’s looked after us. She’s been to Adelaide and was up quite early.

“She’s done her job. I bought her half sister, so plenty of shares available in that.”

 

Shesallshenanigans a $115,000 Magic Millions yearling

A $115,000 buy for her trainer from the Kulani Park draft at the 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Shesallshenanigans is a sister to the Listed VRC Amanda Elliot Stakes winner Shelby Cobra.

Segenhoe Thoroughbreds, consigned a Brazen Beau half-sister to Shesallshenanigans to the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.

Unsurprisingly, Simon Zahra Racing / Cameron Cooke Bloodstock had the final say at $300,000. She was a $210,000 pinhook for James Bester Bloodstock at the 2022 Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale.

Their dam Segenhoe Valley (Dane Shadow) was a $325,000 purchase for Sheamus Mills Bloodstock, with Shesallshenanigans at foot, at the 2020 Inglis November (Early) Online Sale.

She has a filly foal by Written Tycoon and is back in foal to Toronado (IRE).

Toronado heads consolidated roster

17 April, 2023
by James Tzaferis, Racing.com

Despite a phenomenal 12 months for his progeny on the racetrack, breeders sending a mare to star stallion Toronado this spring will pay the same price as his 2022 fee after Swettenham Stud announced a consolidated stallion roster.

Toronado, now the sire of 19 Stakes winners including four individual Group 1 winners, will stand for an unchanged fee of $88,000, having covered 150 mares at that mark in 2022.

The High Chaparral entire’s credentials were further franked at Sandown on Saturday when he sired his second VOBIS Sires 2YO Showdown (1200m) winner, in Simon Zahra’s brilliant filly Shesallshenanigans.

Swettenham’s General Manager – Operations and Nominations, Sam Matthews, said consideration was given to upping Toronado’s fee but ultimately stud principal Adam Sangster made the call to ensure more breeders can continue to access the stallion.

Matthews confirmed that Rubick, the sire of multiple G1 winner Jacquinot, was the only sire on the roster that was given a small fee increase for 2023.

“The market probably thought we would put Toronado up, and he probably did warrant an increase, but just because a horse can go up, we don’t believe he needs to go up,” Matthews said.

“He’s a great value proposition as $88,000 – there aren’t many in that league and the other ones that are in that top 10 are a fair bit more expensive than him, but we’re happy for everyone to get a lick of the ice cream.

“Rubick got a little increase from $20,000 to $25,000 and we kept Wooded, Puissance de Lune and I Am Immortal all at the same prices from last year.

“Highland Reel is in Japan at the moment and it’s very expensive to bring a horse back from Japan – we didn’t announce him on the roster and it doesn’t mean that he’s not coming back, we’re just going to see how it all plays out.”

Showdown for Shesallshenanigans

11 April, 2023
by Andrew Eddy, Racing.com

Simon Zahra is happy for his flying Toronado filly Shesallshenanigans to go up in distance in Saturday’s $1 million Showdown at Ladbrokes Park Sandown on Saturday on the back of some advice from his rider.

Shesallshenanigans thrashed her rivals at Bendigo in the Gold Rush (1000m) by a widening four-and-a-half lengths and Zahra said that despite some reservations about going up to the 1200-metre trip on Saturday, he does so after some confident words from jockey Linda Meech.

WATCH: Shesallshenanigans’ win in the Bendigo Gold Rush

“She’s going good, but I suppose the 1200 (metres) is our query,” Zahra said.

“But Linda Meech thought the other day it wouldn’t have been an issue.

“I have it nominated for that stakes race in Adelaide (listed Dequetteville Stakes for fillies) and I said ‘can it run a strong 1200?’ and she said it wouldn’t have been a problem.

“She said she relaxed good and she said, ‘I could have gone slower if I wanted to’.

“That’s our query and obviously what the weather does over the next four or five days. But she’s improved again and going really good.

Shesallshenanigans has won two of her four runs so far, with her first win also coming at Bendigo over the 1100m trip.

Zahra said that while the race in Adelaide offered valuable stakes credit, the Showdown’s enormous purse was tough to overlook.

“It’s a million dollars and she has just got the race smarts,” he said. “She’s fit and this will probably be her peak run.

“It’s a restricted race, like a Magic Millions, and $550,000 to the winner, so it’s nothing to sneeze at.”
