One to Watch – Wyong

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday May 22
The end is in sight for fans of High Chaparral (IRE), who died in 2014, but he’s going out in a blaze of glory with eight Aussie stakes-winners this season including Group I winners Rekindling (Melbourne Cup), Ace High (VRC Derby) and Hiyaam (ATC Vinery Stud Stakes).

Home Ground as a yearlingHigh Chaparral gave us an interesting two year-old winner at Wyong on Tuesday when the John Sargent trained Home Ground made it two wins from three starts when he beat older rivals to win the Class One contest over 1600 metres.

Home Ground took forever to wind up, but hit the line hard for Travis Wolfgram to score a by a long head.

A $420,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Apollo Ng from the Coolmore draft, Home Ground has been entered for the Group I BRC JJ Atkins Stakes and will certainly have no trouble with the 1600 metres of that assignment!

From the last crop of foals by High Chaparral, he is the first winner for smart Danehill Dancer (IRE) winner First Look, a full sister to stakes-winner Danehill Smile.
