Victorian farm Woodside Park Stud's draft at the Gold Coast Yearling Sale from January 9 to 15 will feature a son and a daughter of exciting newcomer Rich Enuff.
“We can’t wait for the rest of the market to see them,” James Price said.
“They are precocious and very muscular and exactly the right types for Magic Millions to promote early 2-year-old speed horses.” – James Price.
“They are precocious and very muscular and exactly the right types for Magic Millions to promote early 2-year-old speed horses.”
Rich Enuff was initially trained by Ken Keys, who produced him to win the G2 Danehill S. off the back of success in the Listed McKenzie S.
He held his form admirably to complete a hat-trick of victories in the G3 Caulfield Guineas Prelude before a runner-up finish in the G1 Caulfield Guineas.
Rich Enuff subsequently transferred to Peter and Paul Snowden’s stable and placed in the G3 Southern Cross S. before his retirement to stand alongside his Group 1 winning father Written Tycoon, a champion sire of 2-year-olds.
“The key to Rich Enuff is that he just finished his third season and he covered more mares than he did in the first two years,” – James Price.
“The key to Rich Enuff is that he just finished his third season and he covered more mares than he did in the first two years,” Price said.
“He’s produced foals that breeders like and come January we’re sure his yearlings will sell well.
“It really bodes well and hopefully we’ll be seeing some decent 2-year-olds out a few months after the Sale.”
Well-related duo
Lot 217 will be Woodside’s first son of Rich Enuff through the ring at the Gold Coast and the chestnut is from the family of the Group 1 winning sisters Abbey Marie (Redoute’s Choice) and Absolutely.
“He’s out of The Duster is a powerful and a good walker with a great hip.” - James Price
Lot 217, Rich Enuff x The Duster
“He’s out of The Duster is a powerful and a good walker with a great hip,” Price said.
“Buyers will see a lot of the dam-sire Not A Single Doubt in him – he’s a neat looker.”
The colt’s dam is a three-quarter sister to the G3 Tibbie H. winner She’s Clean (Redoute’s Choice).
The stud’s second offering, Lot 381, is a half-sister to the multiple winner and Group 1 placegetter Masthead (Written Tycoon).
“She’s out of a Redoute’s Choice mare and you can certainly see her mother’s father in her.” - James Price.
Lot 381, Rich Enuff x Balsamico
“The filly has got a bit more size and scope and is just as strong as the colt,” Price said. “She’s out of a Redoute’s Choice mare and you can certainly see her mother’s father in her.
“They are two different horses, but both very strong and appealing to the eye.”
The filly’s pedigree also features the Group 1 winners Sizzling (Snitzel ) and D’Argento (So You Think {NZ}).
Star sires represented
Woodside will also offer a pair of yearlings by Written Tycoon and two by Zoustar (Northern Meteor).
“It’s exciting to see the Written Tycoons, one of the leading stallions by numbers at Magic Millions and he’s had a great year led by Written By winning the G1 Blue Diamond,” Price said.
Their colt, Lot 380, is from the same family as the Rich Enuff filly being from a half-sister to Matshead.
“He’s out of Balmodena and is a beautiful type who will have plenty appeal,” Price said.
The filly, Lot 485, is out of a half-sister to the G2 Theo Marks S. winner Cluster (Fastnet Rock) and a direct descendant of the G1 Champagne S. winner I Like Diamonds (Baguette).
“She’ll be popular. She’s an exceptional physical type and she’ll meet the market,” Price said.
Written Tycoon
Two colts by Zoustar
“Zoustar has had a fantastic season and we’re lucky to have two colts in the Sale.” - James Price.
“Zoustar has had a fantastic season and we’re lucky to have two colts in the Sale. They will appeal strongly to syndicators and trainers.”
Lot 35 is a son of the Purrfection (NZ) (Tale Of The Cat {USA}), a half-sister to the G1 New Zealand Oaks winner Boundless (NZ) (Van Nistelrooy {USA}) and the family of three-time Group 1 winner Veyron (NZ) (Thorn Park).
Lot 794 is a half-brother to the Listed winner Bring Something (Sebring) and the family of the outstanding multiple Group 1 winner More Joyous (More Than Ready {USA}).
Selling on behalf
As agent, Woodside’s Magic Millions consignment is completed by two more Written Tycoon fillies, Lots 70 and 178, and Lot 685, a colt by Wandjina.
The former is out of the stakes winner Rock My Pago (Rock Of Gibraltar {IRE}), the second daughter of Written Tycoon is from the family of G1 Wood Memorial S. winner and sire Bellamy Road (USA) (Concerto {USA}) and the Wandjina features the eight-time Group 1 winner Mahogany (Last Tycoon {IRE}) in his pedigree.
“There’s not a tail to our draft at all,” Price said. “We’re not taking any to Magic Millions that we feel we’ll have any trouble selling. It’s going to be exciting to get to the Gold Coast.”
