Tara Madgwick - Monday November 18

Pride of Dubai has sired some seriously special mares and a debut winner at Kyneton on Monday in some very famous colours caught our eye as a ‘One to Watch’.

Trained by Grahame Begg and ridden by Jordan Childs, Playlist was a heavily backed favourite and duly delivered with a length and a half win in the 1112m maiden.

Playlist had shown good ability in her previous jumpouts and was expected to produce on race day.

“We were coming into today with a bit of confidence as her jumpouts had gone well and it looked an average race,” said Jordan Childs.

“She jumped well and put herself on speed and it was fairly painless. She did that on natural ability today and will keep progressing through the grades.”

Playlist was a $150,000 Inglis Classic purchase.

Playlist was a $150,000 Inglis Classic purchase for Grahame Begg Racing / Swettenham Stud / John Foote Bloodstock from the draft of Lime Country Thoroughbreds and runs for a varied syndicate of owners that include Adam Sangster with the famed Sangster family colours carried by the talented three year-old.

Playlist was bred by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum and is the second winner from stakes-placed Redoute’s Choice mare Al Naifa, who was bought by the Sheikh for $1.8million at the 2017 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Al Naifa is a half-sister to dual Group I winner and Champion 2YO Filly and 3YO Filly English from Group II winner Court.

Playlist is another promising winner for Pride of Dubai, who is the leading Australian sire by earnings following a dazzling spring that has seen him sire Everest winner Bella Nipotina, Group I winner Deny Knowledge (IRE) as well as Group winners Pride of Jenni, Maharba and Desert Lightning.

Pride of Dubai stands at a fee of just $22,000 representing unbeatable value.
