Dynamic Syndications Blue Diamond winner Reward for Effort (by Exceed And Excel) is doing a very good job at
Chatswood Stud in Victoria.
With
REWARD FOR EFFORT’s first crop progeny current season 2yo’s, the stallion continues producing winners.
On Thursday at Seymour,
Reward For Effort sired another debutant winner when
Valentine’s Reward saluted.
With today’s result he now has
7 individual winners and
Reward For Effort sits only behind
Benateau (9) for number of individual 2yo winners.
However with one of
Reward For Effort’s winners coming at Turffontein in South Africa, that winner does not contribute to the
Australian First Season Sires Premiership standings.
Therefore with 6 Australian winners credited to him,
Reward For Effort sits in equal second position on the Australian First Season Sires Premiership, for the number of individual 2yo winners.
Leading the way is
Benateau (NSW) (deceased) with 9 individual winners from 22 runners, followed by
Reward For Effort (Vic) (6 winners / 24 runners),
Hinchinbrook (NSW) (6 winners / 20 Runners) and
Rothesay (6 winners / 32 runners). In equal fourth position with 5 individual winners are
Star Witness (NSW) (5 winners / 28 runners),
Stryker (Vic) (5 winners / 18 runners) and
Captain Sonodor (Qld) (5 winners / 24 runners).
Valentine’s Reward is trained by Byron Cozamanis and she had support at long odds. Despite starting at 25/1 she proved too strong winning over 1200 metres by three-quarters of a length.
A $55,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the draft of Chatswood Stud,
Valentine’s Reward is a half-sister to stakes-winners Tszyu and Grand Duels. She is the tenth winner and was the final foal for quality broodmare Valentine’s Gift.
Reward For Effort’s progeny include
Winners; Take Pride (2 wins, Stakes Placed), Montana Star (2), Destiny's Reward, Jevilla, Petite's Reward, Valentine's Reward, Tender Mist (S Af.) and placegetters; Ameritar, Essence of Terror, Silent Sniper, Uncanny Effort.
On the First Season Sires Premiership by Earnings, Reward For Effort with $366,250 has moved up strongly into fourth position behind leader
Hinchinbrook $1,008,850,
Benateau $706,910,
Star Witness $524,110.
Reward For Effort with $366,250 has now gone past fifth placed
Alfred Noble on $362,850.
Reward For Effort received very good numbers of mares in his first three seasons at stud and will stand in 2015 at
Chatswood Stud for a service fee of $11,000. He represents the best value (price / results) stallion standing at stud in Victoria.
Reward For Effort leads the way in the
Victorian First Season Sire’s Premiership with 6 wins ($366,250) ahead of second placed
Stryker 5 wins ($207,500).
To achieve what he has so quickly, is an excellent indication to his bright future ahead as the sire’s progeny certainly look like they will be much better suited once they turn 3yo’s.
