Very promising HK galloper TEAM POWER was brilliant in winning at Sha Tin on Sunday and it was a very timely result for Dynamic Syndications who purchased his half-brother by the boom first crop sire ASTERN from the NZ Bloodstock Yearling Sales in 2020.
TEAM POWER (Excelebration x My Type by Zabeel) ridden by
Chad Schofield was facing the starter at just his 4th start of his career, having already been an unlucky runner-up twice. In this event, at the top of the straight it looked as if he was in all sorts of trouble yet again but relishing the increase in distance to 1400m,
TEAM POWER proved far too good.

Chad Schofield sat just off the leaders in the run, following the rail aboard
Team Power and as they turned for home Chad tried to get
Team Power out of a zip tight pocket but Zac Purton aboard Telecom Rocket wouldn’t let him out. There was some severe some pushing and shoving then Chad saw a gap back on the inside and changed course to find that opening and powered home.
Schofield said
“Team Power jumped out of the ground the last 100m last start and ran second, so I asked (trainer Ricky Yiu Poon-fai) to put him up to 1,400m and he was really good today.”
“Off a slow speed he showed a nice turn of foot when the gap came and he’s a young horse who I think can kick on with it.”

Purchasing our ASTERN x MY TYPE Yearling Colt for $150,000 placed him as the fifth (5th) most expensive colt by ASTERN to be SOLD at the Sales in 2020.
Priced obtained above him were: $725,000, $270,000, $200,000 and $160,000.
Our ASTERN x MY TYPE Yearling Colt is a fantastic looking individual as can be ascertained by his purchase price and the wonderful pedigree he has.
However, its genetically where this colt stands out.
We knew he was bred to a very potent cross.
On this EXACT CROSS of sire MEDAGLIA D’ORO over a ZABEEL broodmare:
There are 6 COLTS to Race on the Exact Cross = 6 Winners = 100%
16 Starters: 13 Winners (81%), Wins 38 and 1 Placed inc 2 Stakes Winners and 1 Stakes Placed with Earnings of $1,580,685
SW - ADORNMENT (MEDAGLIA D'ORO ex JEWELLED (by ZABEEL)
SW - MICKEY BLUE EYES (MEDAGLIA D'ORO ex CAROLINA BELLA (by ZABEEL)
SP – BATTLE BREWING Gr3sp (MEDAGLIA D’ORO ex ELEGANT EAGLE (by ZABEEL)
Therefore, with 81% Winners : Runners (100% Colts) and 18.75% Stakes-Horses : Winners, we are aware the odds are heavily stacked in our favour through this mating.
Next, we look at the Extended Rated Cross. This means we look at:
MEDAGLIA D’ORO (plus his sons and grandsons) over ZABEEL (plus his sons and grandsons) there has been an additional 4 Stakes Winners. They are:
TENLEY G2 (MEDAGLIA D'ORO ex FRATIANNE (by LONHRO)
MULTAJA G3 (MEDAGLIA D'ORO ex SHELTERS (by LONHRO)
SHARDS G3 (MEDAGLIA D'ORO ex SHATTERS (by LONHRO)
VERANILLO LR (MEDAGLIA D'ORO ex SHELTERS (by LONHRO)

OUR COLT 11/3/20
In summation, the art of thoroughbred selection is to know as much about the genetics as well as conformational and bio-mechanical evaluation, along with the commercial value of the pedigree to pre-determine the commercial value of the yearling before the sale commences.

Adam Watt & Our Colt
At the end of the sale selection experience, it’s all about risk reduction, to increase the Owners opportunity of racetrack success. We remove as many of the negative risk aspects as humanly possible, to allow the trainer to work with a horse that has a lower risk of career ending injury and we also remove genetic patterns of the thoroughbred pedigrees identified and known not to have worked previously.
