Bowness Stud Growing Group I Winners – MM Book 1

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Tuesday January 4

John North and his team at Bowness Stud have achieved an enviable record for producing Group I performers from their family run thoroughbred nursery at Young on the South West Slopes of NSW and their 2022 Magic Millions draft is packed with the potential of more G1 stars to come.

In recent years, Bowness Stud drafts have produced Champion 3YO and four time Group I winner Trapeze Artist, super talented Group I winning half-sisters Youngstar and Funstar as well as the 2021 SAJC Australasian Oaks winner Media Award, not to mention Group and stakes-winners Chapada, Paradee and Indian Pacific.

Bowness Stud will present 13 yearlings at the Gold Coast with the first seven to be offered in Book 1 and they include Lot 300, the half-brother to Media Award by exciting young sire Brave Smash (Jpn).



This well made bay colt is from the first crop of Japanese bred brilliant sprinter Brave Smash, who won two Group I sprints in Australia and was twice placed in the Group I VRC Newmarket Handicap.

His dam Music Media is a winning daughter of champion sire More Than Ready (USA) from stakes-winner Harley Ma and the next dam is by Golden Slipper winner Star Watch, so it’s a pedigree packed with diverse speed influences.
