Greta West Stud
stallions God’s Own and King of Prussia were back in the spotlight after
siring a running double at Moonee Valley on Friday.
Running was
the operative word for God’s Own speedball Sirbible. He clocked a
sizzling 54.84s to take the lead after Heat 4 of the Inglis 55 Second
Challenge (955m).
“That’s just a stepping stone for the Christmas
Stakes,” trainer Russell Bell promised. “He was ready to go and I
wasn’t worried about any other horse in the race.”
Sirbible has
set the benchmark for the 55 Second Challenge. Bell trained at Alice
Springs before opening a Colac stable in August and he will receive a
$50,000 credit voucher at a 2017 Inglis Sale of his choice if 54.84s
isn’t bettered this season.
The Listed Christmas Stakes (1200m)
is scheduled for Caulfield on Boxing Day – Sirbible finished third last
year after being reeled in by Tuscan Sling.
King of Prussia miler
Entre Nous is set for another successful campaign following his
second-up victory in the Strathmore Community Bank Hcp (1600m). He has
earned $263,170 including $38,800 in VOBIS bonuses for a syndicate that
includes Wodonga breeder Frank Elkington.
His dam Madam Delia (Demus) has a yearling filly by King of Prussia.
Entre
Nous won last season’s Euroa Cup (1400m) and Wangaratta Cup (1600m)
before finishing third in the VOBIS Gold Mile at Caulfield. He is
trained Gerald Egan 50km south of Greta West through the high-country at
Mansfield.
