Breednet Hypothetical Matings Top 7000 – Adelaide Sparks Interest

Tara Madgwick - Monday August 14

When we introduced Hypothetical matings as a new feature to our Premium stallion pages at the end of June we hoped the initiative would be popular and the audience are obviously finding it a great service with over 7000 dream matings created and it was interesting to see Cox Plate winner Adelaide (IRE) sparked interest over the weekend following a maiden winner that apparently has more to offer.

Racenet journalists were asked to offer their best three horses to follow during the upcoming spring carnival and respected judge Shayne O’Cass produced a three year-old out of left field in Agita as one of his top three along with Tiz Invincible and Zougotcha, click here to read the story.

So who is Agita?

Trained by astute conditioner David Payne, three year-old colt Agita was third on debut over 1550m at Randwick behind Raf Attack at the start of the month and was then sent to Kembla on Saturday for a 1600m maiden where he started a very short priced favourite.

Allowed to settle last in the field of six, he rounded them up after turning for home and although still very green won by half a length and will taken plenty of confidence from the win.

Retained to race by his breeders, Agita has an older full brother Chapelli that is also a winner and he is the second winner from winning Northern Meteor mare Tramotane, who was bred by Gooree Park Stud.

A daughter of stakes-winner Wonderer, Tramotane traces back to one of Gooree Stud’s best families that gave them Group I winners Desert War, Laser Hawk and Romantic Touch, so Agita does not lack for pedigree!

A Cox Plate winning son of champion sire Galileo, Adelaide is the least expensive sire on the Coolmore roster priced at $5,500, so is in the affordable price range for the owner breeder.

He runs at close to 50% winners to runners with four stakes winners highlighted by Group I winner Funstar along with Torrens, Barrosa Rosa and Malt Time, so has real bang for buck this spring.
