In America, Tintin In America's bonny daughter Shartin NZ, the Aged Pacing Mare of the Year in 2018 and 2019, indicated she was on song for another successful campaign by winning a qualifying trial in 1:51.4 at Dover Downs, Delaware.
Lady Jadore, a two-year-old filly by Tintin In America, was a most impressive winner on debut in a heat of the WA 2YO Sales Classic at Gloucester Park, leading throughout in a 2:00 mile rate with the last 800 in 57.4.
Other recent Tintin In America winners were Andrew Jay (1:57.7, Redcliffe) and Claus, who completed a hat trick at Ashburton, NZ.
Caribbean Blaster took the siring honours at Parkes on Sunday night (February 23) with a winning double with the three-year-old The Handsome One and Caribbean Jack (1:58.5).
Caribbean Blaster was also represented by Onahi Delight (1:57.1, Newcastle), Caruba (Collie, WA) and Flame Blaster (Broken Hill), all members of his first crop of four-year-olds which has produced 36 starters and 20 winners from 70 foals.
