Broodmare gem leaves a rich legacy

The Out To Win mare Remit was a prolific winner on metropolitan tracks in both Melbourne and Perth. In all, she won 18 races including seven in Victoria and 11 in WA and $92,839 when stake money was far below their present-day level. 

After she hung up her racing plates, Remit was retired to the breeding barn and it has been that second stage of her career that she has excelled to the limit.  

Remit produced 10 foals – including seven fillies – for eight winners and six winner-producing daughters. 

Among her offspring were the NSW Ladyship Mile and dual J. P. Stratton Cup winner Whitby Heritage, the dual Inter Dominion heat and Mount Eden Sprint winner Whitby Timer, Whitby’s Merit, who won five WA classics as a juvenile, and the WA Oaks victor Whitby Mitre. 

The descendants of Remit have amassed a whopping $10.4million in prizemoney….and it’s not finished yet! They have won all the major classics and cups in WA, many of them more than once. 

A pair of in-foal broodmares tracing directly to Remit will be offered at the online Dr Ed Dewar Estate Sale being conducted by Australian Pacing Gold from Friday, May 2 until Sunday, May 4. 

They are Lot 3, Pennies For Whitby, an unraced American Ideal mare out of Prix De Whitby, and Lot 5, Remit Me Whitby, a four-win Mach Three mare from the Listed winner Zerina Whitby.  

Both are granddaughters of the bonny mare Whitby’s Merit, who won 10 races as a two-year-old – five at Group level – and $168,598 in stakes and became the dam of 11 individual winners including Aikido Whitby ($270,328), Montana Anna ($230,863), Zerina Whitby ($107,827) and La Roya Whitby ($106,649). 

Prix De Whitby, the dam of Pennies For Whitby, won three races and left five winners including the dual Group placegetter American Monarch ($119,713) and the multiple Gloucester Park winner Mister Versace. 

While Zerina Whitby, the mother of Remit Me Whitby, was the dam of seven winners headed up by the exported Our Zac Whitby 1:50.4 (32 wins), Senator Whitby and the Group 2 placegetter Dourado. 

Pennies For Whitby is in foal to supersire Captaintreacherous, while Remit Me Whitby carries a positive test to last year’s leading Australian two and three-year-old sire Sweet Lou. 

The resulting foals from these mares can be made NSW Breeders Challenge Eligible if the mares are transported to NSW, foaled down in NSW and the foals registered with Harness Racing NSW. They will then no longer be eligible for Westbred.
