Tintin In America and Lombo Pocket Watch, both members of the Yirribee Pacing Stud sire roster, landed harness racing winners on the same night at Gloucester Park on April 14.
Middlepage, a three-year-old colt by Tintin In America, completed back-to-back wins with an 11 metre romp, while Lombo Pocket Watch’s son Folsom Prison notched his fifth lifetime success.
Tintin In America was represented by a ‘new’ winner at Newcastle in Topsky and now has a 50 percent winners-to-starters ratio from his Australian crops.
World champion Warrawee Needy was credited with his sixth two-year-old winner in Uncle Shank, a most impressive winner in 1:57.6 at Albion Park. Warrawee Needy is the second leading first crop sire on percentage of winners-to-foals this season.
Our new stallion Renaissance Man left another winner in Ourboybart, an end to end winner in 1:59.2 at Pinjarra and now the winner of five races.
Other stud sired winners included Timely Sovereign (by Lombo Pocket Watch), who won in a career-best 1:56.1 at Menangle, and Romero (by Million Dollar Cam), a winner at Stawell and now unbeaten in two starts in Victoria.
Romero was one of three winners bred by Yirribee Pacing Stud last week. The others were the three-year-old Chasing The Wind, who recorded his fourth win from nine starts at Bathurst, and Offthetopofmyhead, a winner in 1:58.9 at Penrith.
