Godolphin’s impressive Astern colt AFT CABIN firmed from
$101 into $15 for the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas after breaking his maiden in fine style over 1400m at Sandown on Wednesday.
AFT CABIN - airborne
Ridden by Jamie Kah for James Cummings,
AFT CABIN was eased back from an outside barrier. He raced three-wide with cover, and when Jamie asked for an effort, the response was awesome.
The three-quarter brother to Multaja and Veranillo displayed a sizzling turn of foot to defeat the Bel Air (Written Tycoon) colt by a widening margin on the line with American Liaison (American Pharoah) a head back in third.
AFT CABIN was well supported on debut when edged out by Miyoshi on a Heavy 10 at Warwick Farm on July 27.
Godolphin stable representative Sean Keogh said the stable is plotting a path to the Caulfield Guineas.
“What everyone thought of him at home has come to fruition,” Keogh said.
“If you have some opinion about your horse, you have to enter those races. He put them away in good style in a maiden, and I’m sure James is looking at Saturday races over the next month and then continue our journey.
“That was ultra-impressive. He was good first-up on a heavy track and was better again on a better surface."
AFT CABIN is the fifth winner from as many to race out of Shelters (by Lonhro), who has left the Group 3 PJ Bell Hcp winner Multaja (Medaglia d’Oro) and Listed ATC Lonhro Plate winner Veranillo (Medaglia d’Oro). Shelters is a full sister to Group 1 BRC TJ Smith Stakes winner Benfica.

He’s an absolute belter from a 4-time Champion Racemare, they just don’t come any better bred than this!
Our COLT is from a Family of Champions !
SAIL BY winning the Gr2
Genetically it’s a great mating as well with a score of “A 491%” and ASTERN in the Northern Hemisphere has had a Stakes Winner named SAIL BY winning a Gr2 race bred on the same cross.
SHANE ROSE in the saddle of our ASTERN x BETTER LIFE Colt
Our horse breaker SHANE ROSE (Australian Olympian) believes the colt is a natural middle-distance horse that moves sweetly under saddle and showed him enormous potential when giving him a Top Score of 9 out of 10 when he graduated “kindergarten” with him.
You can’t go wrong buying: well bred, well conformed colts, that are clean on X-ray, and have a Grade 1 scope, being trained in town, under the micromanagement of a family run stable.
This gives you the maximum opportunity to achieve racetrack success.
The advantage here is that: the Sire is terrific, and the mare was a Superstar – a true champion racehorse, and the genetics is already proven when producing a Gr2 Winner.
The only thing missing is YOU!
