Nicks That Click – Karaka 2021 - Tralee Rose

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Saturday January 2

It’s hard to ignore an up and coming young stayer that wins her first Black Type race, the Listed VRC Bagot Handicap (2800m) on New Year’s Day by seven lengths, especially when Tralee Rose is bred on a super successful nick that features prominently at Karaka 2021.

A modest $50,000 Karaka Book 1 purchase for Cameron Cooke Bloodstock / Simon Wilde Racing (Victoria) from the Cambridge Stud draft, Tralee Rose has already won over $255,000 and is the eighth stakes-winner for her sire Tavistock bred from a daughter of Zabeel.

Given that Tavistock stood at Cambridge Stud before his premature death at the end of 2019, it’s hardly a surprise that he would have covered plenty of mares by their legendary stallion Zabeel.
 

Some genetic magic has resulted from the cross with 51 winners from 73 runners bred this way, so 70% winners to runners and the eight stakes-winners equates to nearly 11% stakes-winners to runners.


Among those stakes-winners are Group I winners Werther, Toffee Tongue, Tarzino and the 2020 Victoria Derby winner Johnny Get Angry, also bought from Karaka for just $50,000.


The following lots at Karaka 2021 are bred on the Tavistock  x Zabeel nick:

Lot 154 Colt Tavistock x Sunset Magic – Cambridge Stud

Third foal of winning sister to stakes-winner En Lauder from the family of Australian Horse of the Year Typhoon Tracy

Lot 222 Filly Tavistock x Zarzina – Lansdowne Park

Lot 224 Colt Tavistock x Zeranti – Cambridge Stud

Full brother to promising 3YO winner this season The Irishman and is from the family of multiple Group I winner Sea Siren.

Lot 225 Colt Tavistock x Ziffel – Cambridge Stud

Second foal of a half-sister to Group II Silver Slipper winner Amelia’s Dream and is closely related to Tavistock’s promising 3YO Young Werther, third in the Group I Victoria Derby.

Lot 465 Filly Tavistock x Kachina – Westbury Stud
