Wagga treble for Yirribee Pacing Stud

Friday, July 10 was a red-letter night for one of New South Wales’s leading standardbred nurseries, Yirribee Pacing Stud, Wagga.

The farm landed a winning treble with the homebred Warrawee Needy two-year-old colt The Mountain (1:57.1), the unbeaten Tintin In America three-year-old gelding Boston Busker (1:56.2) and the stud bred and owned three-year-old filly Bated Breath (1:58).

Warrawee Needy, the former world champion, was also represented by the brilliant Albion Park juvenile winner Uncle Shank (1:54.8), the winner of two of his three starts, and the Canadian three-year-old victors Need Arocket (1:52.6), High Flyin Jamie and Ajknight.

The Little Brown Jug winner Million Dollar Cam left winners in three different states in the three-year-old filly Didnt I (1:57.6, Bendigo), Sword And Shield (Redcliffe) and the Yirribee Stud bred three-year-old gelding Dollarsign (Newcastle).

Renaissance Man, a newcomer to Yirribee this season, led in the three-year-old winners Medieval Man (Pinjarra) and Apologize (1:58.6, Globe Derby Park) and the four-year-old Another Snag (Bunbury).

Other stud-sired winners were The Bull Pen NZ 1:56.9 (by Tintin In America) and Taylors Watch 1:59.3 (by Lombo Pocket Watch).

Besides The Mountain, Bated Breath and Dollarsign, Yirribee Pacing Stud bred a further two winners last week in the two-year-old filly Honey Chicken (Penrith) and Snoop Stride (1:56.1, Albion Park).
