World champion Warrawee Needy’s stock on fire

The world champion racehorse and Canadian 2YO Colt of the Year Warrawee Needy 1:46.8 ($1,255,384), who stands at Yirribee Pacing Stud in the NSW Riverina district, had a red-letter month in June with his progeny.

He was represented by 19 individual winners of 22 races in three different states and two countries.

Heading Warrawee Needy’s vanguard was the dual Menangle winner Vite Monet, who won a heat and the consolation of the NSW Regional Championships in 1:55.5 and 1:55.8.

Warrawee Needy sired three winners at Albion Park in Edward Jay (1:54), Saveeon (1:54.9) and Esther Rising (1:55.6), while Uncle Shank, a former dual Group winning three-year-old, scored in a slick 1:50.2 at Woodbine Mohawk Park in Canada.

Warrawee Needy led in the three-year-old winners Flash Azarat, a double winner at Bathurst, Rowdy Shannon, She’s A Warrawee, Fozz and Ifellindacreek and other fast winners including Misterfourthousand (1:55.8), Flare Up (1:57.8) and Warrawee Flyer (1:57.8).

As at June 1, Warrawee Needy has left 42 individual winners including 13 three-year-olds this season and more than $570,000 in stakes.

He has sired 92 winners from 138 Australian bred starters – a 66 percent strike rate – for $3,836,267 in stakes, an average of $27,800 per starter.

Warrawee Needy stands alongside the Somebeachsomewhere horse Cattlewash, the second leading three-year-old sire in North America this year.
