Renaissance Man, a multiple Group 1 winner himself and who is standing this season at Yirribee Pacing Stud, Wagga (NSW), was credited with his second Group harness racing winner when My Prayer took out the Group 3 $30,000 WASBA 4 and 5YO Mares Classic at Gloucester Park.
My Prayer, who rallied strongly after gaining a late split, earned a new speed badge of 1:56.2 and increased her bankroll to over $100,000 when she eclipsed the best mares in commission in WA.
Renaissance Man was also represented by a second winner from his first crop when Another Snag outfinished his rivals at Gloucester Park three nights earlier.
The Little Brown Jug winner Million Dollar Cam enjoyed another successful week with his progeny in both hemispheres. Itsonlyrocknroll, who was bred by Yirribee Pacing Stud, won in 1:54.6 at Saratoga, New York, while Doc’s Ronhenry, a double winner twice 1:58.6, and Buckshot Austin (1:59.4) both emerged successful in Canada.
On the home front, Million Dollar Cam’s son Isntthatright (1:58.5) and daughter Getaloadathisgirl (1:58.7) scored at Wagga and Redcliffe respectively.
Other Yirribee Stud-sired winners were the three-year-old filly Need Ur Opinion (by Warrawee Needy), who won in 1:52.2 at Woodbine Mohawk Park, Canada, and Liberty Song (by Lombo Pocket Watch), who broke maiden ranks at Globe Derby Park.
A second homebred winner for the week was the three-year-old filly Rolled In Gold, who won for the first time in 1:55.8 at Menangle.
Renaissance Man, Million Dollar Cam, Warrawee Needy and Lombo Pocket Watch are members of the select Yirribee Pacing Stud sire roster which includes the standout colonial bred pacers Lazarus and Lennytheshark and the brilliantly fast American horse Fear The Dragon.
