QUEENSLAND’S STATE TREBLE
In some more fantastic results for Queensland breeders, the maroons saluted in three State’s yesterday, as well as their usual domination at the Brisbane metropolitan meeting.
Lyndhurst Stud’s Champion sire, Sequalo recorded a State to State double when Mr Backchat took out the 3yo Stakes Family Day event over 1250m at Morphettville. Just two hours later G’Day Old Mate won the BM 90 Sky Racing World Hcp (1000m) at Eagle Farm.
Glenlogan Park also celebrated a State to State double after 2yo Easy Drama, by Champion sire Real Saga, won the VOBIS Gold Ingot (1200m) at Flemington. Ten minutes earlier Falvelon 2yo, Shinji saluted in the opening event at Eagle Farm, the $85,000 QTIS AON Risk Solutions (1000m). Shinji has now had just two starts for two wins.
It was actually almost a state to state double for Falvelon, when Fab Fevola almost pulled it off after leading all the way to be just run down in the Braybrook Open Handicap (1000m) at Flemington.
Glenlogan’s other Champion Sire, the always consistent Bradbury’s Luck, also had a winner when his top 3yo, Queen of the Lochs (pictured, Dan Costello Racing) continued on her winning way to take out the 3yo Fillies Novotel Brisbane Plate over 1400m.
While today Bradbury’s Luck added another black type performer to his credentials after In Cahoots won the Listed $250,000 Gosford Guineas (1200m), run in atrocious conditions...read more

GIRL POWER
The recipients of the Queensland Fillies Sales Bonus Incentive (QFSBI) will be rubbing their hands with glee after the Golden Slipper results on Saturday.
There were eight fillies in the top quality field and they filled the first seven places.
‘Girl Power’ isn’t something new when you consider Australia’s top horses over the years have been fillies and mares; Black Caviar, Typhoon Tracy, Silent Achiever, Sunline, Makybe Diva, Private Steer, Red Tracer, Dane Ripper, Pinker Pinker, Surround and Emancipation just to name a few.
Yet buyers are often still reluctant to purchase a filly. Those statistics certainly changed at the Magic Millions March Sale, possibly due to the recently implemented QFSBI.
It was a partnership between Racing Queensland, Magic Millions and the TBQA and was a series of 25 races where the winning owners received a $5000 credit bonus to go towards purchasing a filly at the Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale.
In some interesting results 42% of Fillies offered this year sold, compared to 37% last year with the average price $21,310.81, up from $17,360.36 in 2013.
The QFSBI winners should definitely be looking forward to the coming racing seasons.
