Dash For Cash sired an interstate double on Wednesday with Miss Entice on a Heavy 10 at Cranbourne and I’m Pretty on a Good 4 at Belmont.

The Scenic Lodge resident is one of the most versatile stallions standing in WA with career stats of 390 individual winners ranging from 800m to 3200m.  He’s also our value-for-money sire at a $2,750 service fee.

Miss Entice (4m Dash For Cash – Entice by Last Tycoon) jumped straight to the lead and was always comfortable in the prevailing conditions of the Highview Accounting Hcp (1300m).  “She makes her own luck in front,” Nikita Beriman said at Cranbourne.  “I started increasing the tempo from the half-mile and they were never going to catch us.

“I just had to make sure we stayed on the fence because she tends to lay out if she’s not scraping the paint.”

Miss Entice is a sister to Dash For Cash stakes winner Boom ‘N’ Zoom (LR Cranbourne Cup).  There’s a page full of NZ black-type in the family including G2 Wakefield Challenge winner Leading Role (Darci Brahma).

“She’s always in the hunt and it was a peach of a ride by Nikita,” trainer David Feek said.  “She resented the tongue-tie here first-up and hated the Ballarat polytrack second-up.  She ran well when second at Geelong last time and it was good to get her over the line again for a great bunch of owners.”

I’m Pretty continued the successful run with Scenic Lodge sires for trainer Adam Durrant when I’m Pretty landed the Bielsa Rhapsody Hcp (1400m) at Belmont.

Durrant prepared Come Play With Me (Blackfriars) to win the Swan Vase on Saturday and both gallopers are homebreds for his parents Geoff and Vicki who are holidaying in Broome.

The Dash For Cash filly let down with a powerful finish for a two-length victory over Sir Mambo (War Chant).  She had won a York maiden in May and following up with two placings at Pinjarra.

“She’s been consistent and Willie (Pike) summed the race up perfectly,” stable foreman Jason Miller said.  “She’s been up a while and we will keep her going while she’s racing so well.”

I’m Pretty’s dam Not So Pretty (Bletchley Park) has an unraced 2yo filly (Looksnoteverything) and a filly foal by Dash For Dash.  Second-dam Dedicated Miss (Mukaddamah) was a Group 3 winner of the 2004 Hyperion Stakes and Strickland Stakes for trainer Geoff Durrant and jockey Jason Miller!

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.

Dash For Cash colt Chung Wah Spirit is tipped for a bright future in Hong Kong after winning the Districts Cup (1400m) on Sunday.

He had been working up to a win over shorter trips before the breakthrough fourth time out at Sha Tin.  “He has a good engine but just isn’t the finished article,” jockey Zac Purton said.  “You will see a better horse next season, he just needs to mature.”

Chung Wah Spirit (3c Dash For Cash – Letter From France by Exceed And Excel) was exported from Australia in October 2016 after winning his first two starts at Doomben and Sunshine Coast when racing as Cash Dash.

Purton was confident of his prospects with the addition of shades on Sunday.  “He had a jump-out in blinkers last week and really switched on,” he explained.  “He also needs gelding and that will probably happen in the off-season.”

The speedy son of Scenic Lodge sire Dash For Cash was raced by Queensland owners Ross Donovan and Peter Malpass before they accepted a $500,000 offer from clients of trainer Dennis Yip.

Chung Wah Spirit is the first and only foal from Letter From France.  The mare took sick shortly giving birth and breeders Jodie and Lindsay Anderson taught him to drink milk out of a bowl.

The Hong Kong result follows two recent debut winners by Dash For Cash in Australia.  Beautifully-bred 2yo colt Andaz was very impressive at Geelong last Friday.  His dam has already foaled Group 2 winners Arinosa (Dash For Cash) and Sweet Sherry (Bel Esprit).

Queensland 3yo Lady Vixen won first-up at the Gold Coast last month for local trainer Mel Eggleston and he indicated the filly will progress to the winter carnival in Brisbane.

Dash For Cash has sired 356 individual winners of 1,056 races and there are many more left in the locker for a $2,500 (plus gst) fee at Scenic Lodge this year.

The son of incoming Scenic Lodge sire Dash For Cash is named after Cate Blanchett’s son and he won shortly after the Australian star was awarded the Best Actress Oscar for Woody Allen’s film Blue Jasmine. 

The four-legged Dashiell is from the Testa Rossa mare Blanchett.  The dam is a sister to Magic Millions 3YO Trophy winner Tereschenko 

Dashiell was patiently ridden by Matthew Allen in the Channel 31 News Maiden (1200m).  Starting odds-on at $1.50, he was caught wide but was always travelling well.  After swinging around the home turn, he let down and charged to the line for a soft win. 

“He sprinted hard and picked them up easily,” Allen said.  “He probably should have won that way at Bendigo last month.  He’s a get back and run home sort of horse and always needs a bit of luck – but we were blocked all the way down the straight that day.” 

Dashiell is trained by Robbie Griffiths for a large syndicate headed by part-owner and breeder John Mathieson.  Connections have covered all bases this weekend nominating him for Moonee Valley (Friday), Yarra Glen & Donald (Sunday) and Warrnambool (Monday). 

Dash For Cash sired another winner from the same crop as Dashiell at Moonee Valley on Monday when Waldorf saluted in the Essendon Hyundai Elantra Hcp (1600m) 

The David Hayes trained Waldorf has won two on the bounce at Moonee Valley for owner Gary Lechte who owns Delamere Stud on the Mornington Peninsula.  Lechte’s connection with the Hayes family goes back to the days when he was a major shareholder in 1986 Melbourne Cup winner At Talaq. 

Waldorf (5m Dash For Cash – Princess Phoebe by King Of Kings) is from a half-sister to Queensland based sire Bagger Vance.  Her second dam Fluoro was Listed winner of the 1994 Bounding Away Quality at Sandown for David Hayes and Lechte. 

Dash For Cash (Secret Savings) has joined Sunspeed champion Blackfriars (Blackfriars) and rookie sire Universal Ruler (Scenic) on the roster at Scenic Lodge for 2014. 

Blackfriars ($2.66 million) is the only West Australian based stallion above Dash For Cash ($1.76 million) on the Australian sires’ premiership this season.
