Harness racing speedster and now stud stallion Stunin Cullen might get his first winner as a sire, when the Paul Court trained Stunin Love steps out at Invercargill in Race 5 today.
Stunin Love (Stunin Cullen – Love To Live) is a half brother to champion pacer Terror To Love a three time New Zealand Cup winner.
The good looking 3yo colt was a beaten favorite last start at Methven when fresh up, and is again a hot favourite to win at Ascot Park this afternoon in the hands of Blair Orange.
Part owner Terry McDonald is expecting Stunin Love to go close, and said this morning, "I am confident he can win today and give Stunin Cullen his first win as a sire"
Terry said " I brought Stunin Love back at the sales for $55,000 so hopefully he can do a good job on the racetrack and also give the sire a leg up by winning a few"
"We have sent Stunin Cullen to Australia in a twelve month arrangement with Yirribee Pacing Stud, which could be longer depending on how well received he is over there".
Yirree Pacing Stud in New South Wales stood the stallion Courage Under Fire for a short period, until he died earlier this year, and Stunin Cullen is the replacement.
Stunin Cullen(Christian Cullen – Vicario) was great horse on the race track winning eighteen races from forty two starts with earnings of $1,493,716.
