Former world champion and US 2YO Colt of the Year He’s Watching (1:46.8), who now stands at Luke Primmer’s Tipperary Equine stud, Young (NSW), sired three ‘new’ two-year-old winners in the space of three days!
Mostpeculiarmumma, a filly, started the ball rolling with a come-from-behind success at Globe Derby Park on Tuesday (May 26).
The following night Hes Sweet, a two-year-old gelding, led, handed up and then outfinished his rivals at Bathurst, rating 1:57.6 over 1730 metres with a last 800 in 57.2.
Jay Bracken, a two-year-old colt, completed the treble when he led from end-to-end at his second start at Penrith on Thursday night (May 28). The youngster averaged a 1:59.4 rating over 1720 metres and scored effortlessly by 9.2 metres.
He’s Watching is also the sire of the promising youngster Watchmedazzle, a double winner at Shepparton earlier this month.
Interestingly, Watchmedazzle, Hes Sweet and Jay Bracken are all out of daughters of Artsplace line stallions.
He’s Watching’s first crop of three-year-olds includes Blockjorg (1:55.5), winner of the Group 2 $50,000 WA Diamond Classic, the unbeaten Private Eye (1:54.6), winner of the George Croxford Trubute, the Tatlow placegetter and APG finalist Star Hunter (1:57.7) and the APG 2YO Championship runner-up Magnifico To Watch (1:56).
