Jukebox filly from Le QuirkyThe Ciaron Maher-trained colt was successful at Geelong on his racetrack debut before producing a dominant display at Caulfield to capture the $250,000 Listed Inglis Premier (1200m) by a widening two lengths margin.

At his first start at three, the colt took out the stallion-making Gr.3 Vain Stakes (1100m), a race won in the past by Gr.1 sires Starspangledbanner and Sepoy, before splitting Gr.1 winners Catchy and Booker, when finishing a narrow second in the Gr.2 Danehill Stakes (1200m) at Flemington.

After a further four starts which included a second to Formality in the Gr.3 Blue Sapphire and a third to Gr.1 winner Voodoo Lad in the Gr.3 Monash Stakes when taking on the older sprinters, Jukebox was retired to stand at Aquis' Hunter Valley base where he covered an exciting first book of mares, with his first crop foals currently being born.
