New Acquisition for Australian Bloodstock

Tara Madgwick - Thursday June 8

The Australian Bloodstock team have acquired a horse they hope will be a Cox Plate contender with New Bay four year-old New Energy (IRE) to join the Maher and Eustace stable.

Dubawi stallion New Bay is the sire of New Energu.

Dubawi stallion New Bay is the sire of New Energu.

"On exposed form, he is probably the highest-rated horse we have ever got our hands on," Australian Bloodstock's Jamie Lovett told Racing.com.

"I think he has a similar if not better profile than Gold Trip. He is Group 1-placed in Ireland as a three-year-old and we know how hard it is over there, so he is obviously a high-calibre horse. If he can hold the same form, if not improve with maturity, there is a fair bit to like about him."

Second in last year’s Group I Irish 2000 Guineas, New Energy has multiple stakes and Group placings with his overall record one win and five placings from 11 starts.

Trained by Sheila Lavery, New Energy has had two starts this year in stakes company for a fourth and a third last month in the Listed Owenstown Stakes at Naas.
