by Mark Smith – Saturday December 10
It was a memorable Friday night for Adam Sangster and the Swettenham Stud team as winners flowed freely at Moonee Valley and Canterbury.
New Australian citizen Toronado (IRE) kicked off the Moonee Valley meeting with three winners in the first four races. And it was an easy watch for fans of the son of High Chaparral (IRE).

The 5yo Dan O’Sullivan-trained mare Uniquely got the night off to a winning start when successful by a length and a half over 2040m under Alana Kelly.
Then it was the turn of the 3yo fillies Li’l Wonder and Lady Jones.
The Michael, Wayne and John Hawkes-trained Li’l Wonder broke her maiden over 1200m by three and three-quarter lengths under Damien Oliver.
It was a similar painless watch as Harry Coffey guided the Steve Brown-trained Lady Jones to two and three-quarter lengths score over 1600m.
On to Canterbury, where the 3yo Highland Reel (IRE) filly Hi Dubai made a statement on debut over 1100m. Ridden by Nash Rawiller for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Hi Dubai coasted to a 4-length win.
Time for Rubick to enter the fray.
The 3yo David Pfieffer-trained filly Glint Of Silver was rewarded for her consistency when breaking her maiden over 1250m under Jay Ford and relegating the $950,000 I Am Invincible x Snitzerland gelding Himalaism to second.
Shortly after, Rubick’s 5yo son Media Starguest battled to a nose win over 1900m for Ron Quinton and Sam Clipperton.
All in all, a good day at the office for Swettenham Stud.
Toronado (IRE)
by Mark Smith, Breednet – Wednesday November 2
The three-year-old Toronado (IRE) filly Laced Up Heels brought the unbeaten run of Amelia’s Jewel to an end in the Listed Tabtouch-Burgess Queen Stakes (1400m) at Ascot on Tuesday.

Ridden by Chris Parnham for Luke Fernie, Laced Up Heels was well back early with the favourite Amelia’s Jewel on her back.
When Parnham asked the Toronado filly for an effort on straightening she stole a two-length break on Amelia’s Jewel (Siyouni), who could only close the gap to a long neck on the line.
Miss Drakova (Capitalist) was a further two and a quarter lengths back in third.
Coming into the race off a narrow win over a 1000m at Ascot on October 15, Laced Up Heels advances her record to three wins from five starts with earnings of $115,915.
“She didn’t have any luck in the three-year-old Classic, and I look at her and know there’s a machine there, Fernie told RWA.
“I just needed a little bit of luck to go our way, and she got that today.”
Owned by Geisel Park Stud, Laced Up Heels was a $100,000 purchase for Boomer Bloodstock (FBAA) from the Supreme Thoroughbreds draft at the 2021 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale.

She is the best of four winners from as many to race out of the Exceed And Excel mare A City Girl, who was purchased for just $4,000 at the 2012 Inglis August Thoroughbred Sale.
The pedigree received a significant boost when A City Girl’s stakes-winning half-sister Missy Cummings (Magnus) produced the top-class Zoustar filly Mizzy.
Mizzy earned her Group 1 in the Canterbury Stakes almost 12 months after first past Savatiano the post was disqualified. Mizzy would make $2.2m to the bid of Tom Magnier at the 2021 National broodmare Sale.
A full brother to Laced Up Heels was a $110,000 purchase for E Cummings / Myrtle House from the Supreme Thoroughbreds draft at the 2022 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
A City Girl has a yearling filly by Shalaa (IRE) and a filly foal by Nicconi.
Laced Up Heels is the 28th stakes-winner for Toronado (IRE), who enjoyed a profitable Melbourne Cup Day with Fender winning at Randwick, Vain Fox at the Sunshine Coast, and cult hero Shelby Sixtysix finishing second in the Listed MSS Security Sprint on the Melbourne Cup undercard.
By Tara Madgwick, Breednet – Tuesday November 1
A regular shuttler to Swettenham Stud in Victoria, Galileo’s champion son Highland Reel (IRE) is off the mark with his first Australian stakes-winner with High Approach making light of testing wet conditions at Flemington to score a courageous win in the Listed VRC Tab Trophy Stakes (1800m).

Trained by Archie Alexander, Highl Approach broke his maiden over 1500m at Ballarat at his fourth start and jumped straight from there to Black Type company with a happy result.
He staged a thrilling battle up the straight with runner-up Linderman, prevailing to win by a long head for Ben Melham and has now won two of five starts earning nearly $150,000 in prizemoney.
He’s a horse that has come from a maiden win to town, but we wouldn’t have been here if we didn’t like the horse and we’ve always liked him and it’s a great result for everyone,” said Archie Alexander.
High Approach was a $50,000 Inglis Premier purchase.
A $50,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Alexander Racing / Rogers Bloodstock from the MB Thoroughbreds draft, High Approach was bred by Dr Judith Mulholland.
“I can’t take any credit for it (his purchase), my racing manager Jeremy Rogers, on the last day of the sale said ‘come on you better have a look at this horse’ … $50,000 later and here we are,” Alexander said.
“We’ve always thought he was a Derby horse and thought maybe right now, but it all came a bit soon. He’ll have a break now and come back in the autumn and maybe aim up at a Derby, who knows.”
High Approach is the best of eight winners from good producing Encosta de Lago mare Encapsulate, a half-sister to the dam of Group II winning sprinter Super Cash.
Encapsulate was covered last spring by Strasbourg after missing to him the year before.
Highland Reel (IRE)
High Approach is from the first Australian crop of Highland Reel and is his first Australian stakes-winner and the third worldwide for the six time Group I winner.
Highland Reel is at Swettenham stud this spring at a fee of $16,500.
Resolute Racing’s Woodshauna gives Al Shaqab’s Wooded a first Group 1 winner
Woodshauna provided his sire Wooded with a first Group 1 winner when springing a surprise in the Prix Jean Prat at Deauville.
