Trained at Canberra by Todd Smart, Washington Towers was specced at long odds
and led all the way to win the 1000 metre maiden by a neck over the heavily
backed favourite Redicon, a flashy chestnut son of Deep Field.Washington Towers was a $62,500 Inglis Ready to Race purchase from the Lionheart Thoroughbreds draft for Tod Smart, who is hoping to secure a start in the $2million Inglis Millennium on February 9 for his talented colt.
He is the fifth winner from Gee Trump, a half-sister to Group III winner Sam Sung a Song from the family of dual Group I winner Global Glamour.
Washington Towers is the third winner for Tale of the Cat (USA) stallion Whittington, a brilliant winner of the Listed ATC Breeders Plate that stands at Grandview Stud in Queensland at a fee of $6,600.
Whittington covered his biggest book of 107 mares last spring.
