Boom First Season Sire Denman, put his hand up as one of the most progressive Stallions in Australasia with a brilliant Stakes-Winning Double on Saturday at Scone and Doomben.
An attractive son of LONHRO, Denman was touted by Peter Snowden as “the best horse he has ever trained”, a remarkable statement by one of the country’s leading conditioners.
Denman showed brilliance as a late 2yo winning three times, however it was when he emerged as a Spring 3yo, that it was clear he was something quite special.
In what seems almost fitting, Denman’s two individual weekend Stakes-Winners, came within weeks of Denman himself announcing he was a horse of promise in his own 2yo year.
Denman broke his maiden tag first up from a spell on the 13th of June in his 2yo season. Following his Kilmore maiden win, Denman quickly put together back to back city wins, before having a 35 day freshen up to be targeted towards the Group 1 Golden Rose.
Following the short let up, Denman announced himself as a serious Spring contender with a brilliant winning display in the Group 3 Run to The Rose, winning the feature event by a length and a half as a $3.70 favourite.
Denman was justifiably posted a short priced favourite for the Group 1 Golden Rose and didn’t let punters down, finishing with an incredible burst of speed to win as he pleased in what could only be described as a working track gallop.
On Saturday Denman showed that his racetrack prowess has been inherited by his progeny with Pinch River and Shigeru Sendan both capturing Listed Wins for their emerging sire.
PINCH RIVER won the Dalrello Stakes LR 2yo Colts and Geldings over 1200m at Doomben.
SHIGERU SENDAN won the Woodlands Stakes LR 2yo Fillies over 1100m at Scone.
His other Stakes Winner earlier in the season was LAW who won the ATC Breeder’s Plate LR over 1000m.
He has also produced the Stakes Placed PIACENZA (placed) who ran 3rd in the MRC Debutant Stakes LR over 1000m
Whilst INKULU (placed) has run 4th in the MRC Sky High Stakes LR.
Other winners by Denman include GRAPEVINE and KURO and the placed FITOCRACY.
Denman has been represented by 5 x Individual 2yo winners in his first crop to date.
Three of those winners have gone on to secure Black-type success, the most exciting aspect for this young sire is that all five of his individual winners have gone on to compete in Stakes-Company during their 2yo season.
Dynamic Syndications will shortly launch our Denman x Quilt Filly to be trained by Peter and Paul Snowden at Randwick.
Our Filly is the ¾ Sister to Peter Snowden’s favourite horse PINWHEEL.
So as you can understand to have access to a ¾ sister to his favourite horse by his best horse – Peter and Paul Snowden are justifiably excited to have our horse in their care.
