The leading colonial stallion Skyvalley was represented by four ‘new’ harness racing winners in September. The quartet are the two-year-old Alrighty, the three-year-old Mac Flick, the Melton winner Spanish Rizardo and The Nightingale.
In all, Skyvalley sired no less than 10 individual winners of 13 races for the month.
Other winners by the Aldebaran Park resident stallion have been the Vicbred 3YO Silver winner Link In Bio, My Bad Habits (3 wins in South Australia), Mumpaysthebills (2 wins in Victoria), Patched (WA) and Myrtle Vale and Picket Wire in Victoria.
Skyvalley also figured as the damsire of the Vicbred Super Series heat winner Fouroutoffive and Moonshine Penny.
The star two-year-old filly Gatesy’s Gem is proving a fine advertisement for Aldebaran Eagle in Victoria. The filly has won four of her five starts including a heat of the Vicbred and boasts a mile record of 1:57.5 – an outstanding time for a two-year-old.
Aldebaran Eagle left other winners in September in the Vicbred heat winner Rockinwithattitude, the three-year-old filly Sunnycoast Secret and the Cambridge, NZ victor Eagle Hanover.
There were three winners bred off Aldebaran Park for the month in Aldebaran Yahtzee 1:59.8 (Sebastian K Swe-Charming Yankee NZ), the dual Albion Park winner Hammer Son (Majestic Son Ca-Jingling Silver) and the three-year-old Kyvalley Mugsy (Tactical Landing USA-Excellent Boko Swe).
