In this edition we talk to Steve Telfer about some of the Stonewall Stud purchases.

• Unnamed (Captaintreacherous – Kensington Kate colt bought by Stonewall Stud for $145,000.

“He broke in well. He’s in the South Island barn. He’s got good manners and a good attitude towards his work. It’s a long way before the two year old races but we’re happy with what he’s done so far.”

• 

  Utah Blaze (Bettor’s Delight – Rockabilly Blues colt purchased by Stonewall for $100,000.

“He’s up here with me. He’s a really strong colt who’s a nice mover on the track. He’s got a bit of attitude. He’s just gone out for a month. He looks like he’s a forward sort of type.”

• 

  Unnamed (Tactical Landing – Love Ya Doosie) filly which Stonewall Stud paid $180,000. for.

“She’s had a couple of preparations. She’s a lovely big striding filly, she’s shown a real willingness to get along and do her work. Josh Dickie has been working her and he’s really happy with her.”

• 

  Unnamed (Bettor’s Delight – Goodlookingbabe colt purchased for $155,000.

“He’s a lovely colt. He’s well put together, lovely mover out of a very strong family. I’d be surprised if he couldn’t do something on the track.”

• 

  Con Grazia Aquila (Bold Eagle – Con Grazia) colt purchased for $50,000.

“He’s just come back for his third prep. He’ll probably do a little bit of work this time in. I couldn’t be happier with him. He’s got a great attitude to training, a willingness to work and just basically do everything right. It’s been terrific.”
