Cash clicks with Amoroso

Dash For Cash and Amoroso go together like peaches and cream.

They’re proud parents of three foals – Arinosa, Onerous & Andaz – and all three have inherited a tremendous will to win.

ARINOSA was renowned for a potent finish.  She reeled in top-class fields in the G2 Premiere Stakes and G2 Sapphire Stakes at Randwick before retiring to stud.

ONEROUS is a tough competitor and that was evident when he charged through a gap to win his first city sprint at Sandown last season.  Team Hawkes will race him second-up after a long spell at Moonee Valley this weekend.

ANDAZ was rated a stakes horse of the future after winning a Geelong maiden last month and he’s on-track to fulfil that prediction after a gutsy win at Flemington on Saturday.  The Chris Waller-trained 2yo fought back on the fence to dead-heat with Royal Phoenix in the Eugene Gorman Hcp.

“He’s made nice improvement from his debut,” stable manager Johanne Taylor said.  “Things didn’t go his way today and he could have had more cover.  He was quite green at his first start so to come out and battle it out to the line today was quite impressive.”

Andaz had to be checked when Olifants shifted ground when insufficiently clear approaching the course proper at headquarters.  Offending hoop Andrew Mallyon was suspended for 8 meetings by stewards.

The winning trio have thrown to their grey sire Dash For Cash who has his first WA crop turning two on August 1.  Amoroso (Revoque) won races at Sandown and Cheltenham for Swettenham Stud owner Adam Sangster and she has also foaled G2 Euclase Stakes winner Sweet Sherry (Bel Esprit).

Dash For Cash stands for a $2,750 (inc gst) fee at Scenic Lodge.

Perth mare moves to Melbourne

Military Reign has settled in without any hiccups for her Melbourne debut at Flemington on Saturday.

The Universal Ruler speed-machine has accepted for the $100,000 Bruce Gadsden Hcp (1000m) and bookmakers aren’t taking any chances with the Perth visitor.  Last start G1 Goodwood fifth Santa Ana Lane has been installed a $2.80 favourite ahead of Military Reign ($4.20) and Magic Millions Sprint winner Husson Eagle ($6.50).

“Military Reign is stabled at Flemington with Russell Cameron and she’s as good as gold,” managing part-owner Kevin Berry said this week.  “We will see how she handles Saturday’s sprint down the straight before making any plans.

“If she prefers racing around a corner we can back up at Moonee Valley a week later.”

Military Reign (4m Universal Ruler – General’s Delight by General Nediym) broke into the big-time beating G1 Winterbottom Stakes winner Magnifisio in the Marjorie Charleson Classic (1200m) in April last year.  She finished that preparation with another front-running victory over Malibu Style in the LR Beaufine Stakes (1000m) in July.

Trainer Darren McAuliffe brought her back with an interstate trip in mind and she put the writing on the wall, as a $31 outsider, when runner-up to red-hot sprinter Great Shot in the G3 Roma Cup (1200m) at Ascot last month.

McAuliffe prepared Universal Ruler to a ground-breaking victory over subsequent Australian Horse of the Year Scenic Blast in the 2007 Perth 2YO Stakes.  He sourced the bottom half of Military Reign’s pedigree at the 2008 Magic Millions National Sale.

“I bought her dam General’s Delight for $70,000 as a foal on the Gold Coast,” McAuliffe recalled.  “She was injured while being educated and never raced so we sent her to Universal Ruler at Scenic Lodge.”

“Unfortunately, General’s Delight only delivered two foals so we will keep Military Reign as a broodmare after she’s finished racing.”

Her older full-brother Military Ruler can make it a double for the family on Saturday.  He’s not in her class but is quoted at $9 in pre-post markets for Race 8 at Belmont.

Universal Ruler (Scenic) was Champion WA first and second-season stallion and his largest crop of foals (88) will be two year-olds in 2017-18.

Scenic Lodge is standing him for a discounted $3,850 (inc gst) service fee this year.
