On Thursday this week ADAM WATT from Dynamic Syndications caught up with SHANE ROSE at Bimbadeen Park to get the latest Intel and to see if the hype was living up to the fact. Watch our latest short video clip of our colt under saddle and hear from Shane and Adam about our fantastic colt by “OFFICIALLY” Australia’s Leading Sire! The fact that our colt is from a mare that is a daughter of a Champion Racehorse and Champion Broodmare Sire is an added bonus as is the fact that SO YOU THINK has already produced a Stakes Winner from a Danehill Dancer mare proves that cream rises.

In 2022, Arrowfield Stud’s Super Sire SNITZEL has achieved his fourth (4th), $41 million+ Yearling Sales Season revenue. The simple fact is, demand for his progeny correlates with his spectacular stud career successes and his ability to deliver sensational results. On Saturday 30/4 SNITZEL already a 4-time Champion Sire, notched-up his fourth (4th) same-day stakes double of this current 2021/22 season. His progeny, firstly Mr Mozart, and then Exotic Ruby both collected Group 3 feature races at Hawkesbury’s stand-alone day.

Australia’s leading Sire SO YOU THINK had another super weekend claiming a Stakes Winning double. Already the sire of 471 individual winners, Coolmore’s So You Think (by High Chaparral) capped off a remarkable month in April, bringing his total to 40 Stakes Winners and 30 Stakes Placegetters by producing two new stakes winners: ILLATION (3 c ex Pontiana by Redoute’s Choice) REGARDSMAREE (5 g ex Rossa Mia by Testa Rossa)

Dynamic Syndications 4yo gelding MAJOR ARTIE recorded a tough all-the-way victory at his first attempt at Open Company grade last Saturday when he Won Race 1 on the programme, the Treasury Brisbane Open Handicap over 1825m. Our Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained MAJOR ARTIE also recorded a very rare feat, becoming a city winner in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Adam Watt from Dynamic Syndications spent a couple of days at GOOREE PARK in Mudgee this week to cast his eyes over several of our magnificent yearlings that are back in work under the expert eye of Mack Griffith who handles our pre-training and educational exercise programmes for our team of babies. This early education process is vital in the mental and physical development of young horses, all of whom have been broken-in by Australia’s Leading Horseman and Olympic Silver and Bronze medallist SHANE ROSE from his property Bimbadeen Park.

Dynamic Syndications’ Adam Watt feels that his ownership group could have a potential Queensland Oaks (Gr 1, 2200m) contender on their hands after African Daisy (American Pharoah) produced an eye-catching performance at Wyong yesterday when destroying her rivals in the HMA Group Maiden Plate over 1350 metres.

5.16 lengths was the official margin posted by Dynamic Syndications highly promising 3yo filly AFRICAN DAISY (AMERICAN PHAROAH ex CIGUARAYA (USA)) when our $1.24 favourite, ridden by Brodie Loy, went around in an exhibition gallop that was not much harder than a trackwork sit and dash, to claim Race 1 at Wyong on Thursday afternoon the HMA Group 1350m Maiden Plate. Trained for us by Annabel Neasham at Warwick Farm, AFRICAN DAISY looked a moral on paper, then after there were 3 scratchings from the race at 7:30am this morning, punters quickly rallied to the promising daughter of AMERICAN PHAROAH backing her from $1.30 into $1.24.

The Coolmore Australia roster for 2022 has been finalised and will be further strengthened by the addition of I Am Invincible’s dual Group 1 winning sprinter HOME AFFAIRS, who is currently in training for a Royal Ascot campaign. He will stand for $110,000 and join two other exciting new sire prospects at Coolmore Australia in the shape of 2021 Cartier Horse of the Year, St Mark’s Basilica (by Siyouni) who will stand for $44,000 and joining him will be the brilliantly fast two-year-old Acrobat (by Fastnet Rock) who will stand for $13,750.
