Stamped for Success with the IKS

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Saturday January 9

Ian Smith’s Edinburgh Park has built an impressive record for racetrack success with current star graduates Glenfiddich and Eleven Eleven poised to achieve at the highest level in 2021.

Fastnet Rock four year-old Eleven Eleven will be chasing more Magic Millions success next Saturday following on from his victory last year in the $2million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas.

Second past the post to Alligator Blood, he was later awarded the race following a positive swab from the original winner bringing a massive payday for his large group of owners.

Bought by his trainer Greg Hickman for $230,000 from the Edinburgh Park draft in 2018, Eleven Eleven has won just shy of $1.5million in prizemoney and arrives at the Gold Coast a last start winner of the Listed ATC Christmas Classic.

Fastnet Rock three year-old colt Glenfiddich had an interrupted spring campaign, but his dominant win in the Group II MVRC Stutt Stakes and game third in the Group I MRC Memsie Stakes was enough to suggest he can be a serious player during the autumn.

The Peter Moody trained colt is on target to resume in the Group I MRC CF Orr Stakes enroute to the Group I VRC Australian Guineas.

“Rubisaki, who we also bred and sold, won over $1million last season and scored multiple Group race wins, so we’ve had some amazing success over the past 12 months,” said Ian Smith.

“There are always new stars coming through and the draft we have taken to Magic Millions this year is one of the best we have ever presented.”

Edinburgh Park will present 19 yearlings and you can see the draft at Stable I and J with highlights below:
