One and Only Wins at Canterbury

Tara Madgwick - Friday November 29

Godolphin have a big stable in Australia featuring a lot of interesting blue-blood horses and a pretty unusual one cast off maiden status at Canterbury on Friday night.

Earlier this year in a Juvenile Trial Watch story we wrote about a filly called Amusing that is the only horse in Australia by her sire Masar and the James Cummings trained filly saluted as favourite in the 1550m maiden at her third start scoring by a neck with Kerrin McEvoy in the saddle.

A half-sister to French Group III winner Egot, Amusing appears to be the only named offspring in Australia of Godolphin’s homebred Derby winning colt Masar, who stood at a fee of £10,000 at their Dalham Hall base in the UK, but covered just 10 mares this year and has been relocated to Sunnyhill Stud in Ireland as a National Hunt sire.

With his oldest progeny just three year-olds, Masar has sired 38 winners, but yet to produce a stakes-winner.

Amusing is the third winner from Australian bred Group III placed Street Cry (IRE) mare Entertains, who started her stud career in Europe and is a three-quarter sister-in-blood to dual Group I winner Trekking.

Now in Australia, Entertains has a two year-old filly by Ghaiyyath (IRE) called Contemplates and a yearling filly by Palace Pier (GB).

Entertains is from Champion 3YO Filly Serenade Rose and this family has had a flurry of stakes success this year two new stakes-winners on the page in Belardi, a 2YO stakes-winner in New Zealand last season and his half-sister Moonlight Music, a Group III winner that was also second in the Group I BRC Queensland Derby.

Entertains has been served again by Ghaiyyath after slipping the previous year.
