Anders Colt Goes Two for Two

Tara Madgwick - Thursday October 9

Richard Johnston has bred some very good horses under his Bylong Park banner including triple Group I winner Think It Over and Anders three year-old Young Mister Grace has some big shoes to fill, but made it two wins from two starts when scoring at Hawkesbury on Thursday.

Trained by Brad Widdup and ridden by Dylan Gibbons, Young Mister Grace was a hot favourite for the 1100m Benchmark 64 event and duly scored by a length at his second race start.

Young Mister Grace kicked away turning for home and ran the 1100m in a slick 1:02.15 seconds.

Young Mister Grace is the first foal from Zoustar mare Enstarnito, who was also bred by Bylong Park and raced just once before retiring to stud, but to this point Young Mister Grace is her only living foal.

Further back in the pedigree is quality European blood with third dam Encens a half-sister to Group I winning sire Scenic (IRE), who was very successful in Australia producing Group I winners over all distances from Melbourne Cup winner Viewed to Royal Ascot winning G1 sprinter Scenic Blast.

Young Mister Grace looks a progressive winner for Widden Stud’s young sire Anders, who stands at a fee of $13,200 this spring.
