The month of October 2020 is proving a red-letter one for Yirribee Pacing Stud's world champion sire Warrawee Needy with harness racing winners in USA, Canada and Australia.
Talented two-year-old The Mountain, who was bred by Yirribee, is flying the flag for Warrawee Needy in Australia, posting his fourth success from only seven starts at West Wyalong. Warrawee Needy has sired nine individual two-year-old winners from his first Australian crop.
In North America, Warrawee Needy led in four winners for the week headed up by the three-year-old Need Arocket, who won in 1:51.8 at Woodbine Mohawk Park, and Deprived (1:57.8).
The Little Brown Jug winner Million Dollar Cam was represented by the NSW winners Tallaringa Harms (1:57, Newcastle) and Wongalea Charli (Temora) and the North American victors Q Rock (1:55.4) and Milliondollardad (1:57.). Million Dollar Cam has now left 98 individual winners in Australia and they have earned $4.3 million – an average of almost $30,000 per starter!
Former Group 1 star Renaissance Man, who is standing his first season at Yirribee, continues to churn out the winners. The three-year-old Trittrittbangbang, one of his second crop and a smart winner at Cranbourne recently, is the ninth three-year-old winner sired by Renaissance Man this season from a crop of 27 foals.
Besides The Mountain, Yirribee Pacing Stud also bred the Penrith winner Mach Angelo (1:57.2) and Tallaringa Harms (Newcastle).
