January 28, 2015Zac Spirit Crowned Champion Singapore Sprinter
January 22 – Australian bred five year-old Zac Spirit, a Newhaven Park bred son of Flying Spur, was crowned Champion Singapore Sprinter at the annual Singapore Turf Club awards ceremony earlier this week.
The Cliff Brown trained speedster won the $500,000 Lion City Cup Sng Gr 1 last year and has the overall record of eight wins from 15 starts.
A $140,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Newhaven draft, Zac Spirit is from well related Kidman and was snapped up by his trainer Cliff Brown, who also trained his stakes-winning three-quarter brother Zac Influence.
A stakes-placed Quest for Fame (GB) mare from the family of outstanding racehorse and sire Zeditave, Kidman featured at the recent Magic Millions Yearling Sale where her colt by Redoute’s Choice sold for $720,000 to James Harron Bloodstock/John Moynihan.
Kidman is now back in foal to Redoute’s Choice after missing the year before.
