Newgate Farm’s Young Gun Sire FOXWEDGE posted another high class UK winner overnight with
Tap Tap Boom scoring at Epsom and therefore becoming the
14th winner across both hemispheres for this outstanding first crop sire of
champion Fastnet Rock.
FOXWEDGE
Tap Tap Boom was stepping up to seven furlongs for the first time after placing at his first three starts. He led throughout before surging clear to win by a length and a quarter.
Bought for 22,000 guineas by his trainer at the Goffs Doncaster Yearling Sale last year, Tap Tap Boom is a half-brother to stakes-placed Into the Light from good producer Exclusive Approval.
Tap Tap Boom became the sixth Northern Hemisphere winner for FOXWEDGE, who also has six Australian winners and two in New Zealand including stakes-winner Volpe Veloce and stakes placed Aghna and Seafront.
A Group 1 winning sprinter as a 3yo, FOXWEDGE stands this spring at a fee of $22,000.
With one month remaining in the 2015-16 Racing Season,
FOXWEDGE is the Leading NSW based First Season Sire by individual Winners with 6, ahead of Smart Missile 5 and Dream Ahead 4.
He sits
3rd on the Australian First Season Sires table just behind Queensland duo of Sidereus 8 and Love Conquers All 7.
Overall on the First Season Sires List FOXWEDGE is the Most Successful with 4 weeks remaining:
FOXWEDGE has now sired 14 Winners of 16 Wins.
SIDERIUS has had 8 Winners of 13 Wins
LOVE CONQUERS ALL has had 7 Winners of 8 Wins
SMART MISSILE has had 6 Winners of 7 Wins
SEPOY has had 7 Winners of 7 Wins
DREAM AHEAD has had 4 Winners of 4 Wins
With the professional participants in the industry excited by the fact that
FOXWEDGE would be a far better sire of 3yo’s than 2yo’s and the buzz in the market about several high profile rising 3yo’s
FOXWEDGE looks a safe bet for breeders and buyers alike.
