King Cugat in the Spotlight |
King Cugat (USA) was rated the Champion Turf Horse of North America in 2001 following a string of top class performances and with his oldest Australian progeny nearing the end of their four year-old season, the son of champion sire Kingmambo has found his feet as a reliable source of winners led by Group One heroine Devil Moon.
Also firing up for King Cugat during the past season were Kiwi stakes-winner Hold it Harvey and classy Queensland stakes-winning mare Quizzical Lady, along with smart metropolitan winners Come on Cugat, King of the Nile and recent Rosehill winner Xavier.

Golden Slipper Nominations Dissected
|
Nominations for the 2009 Group One STC Golden Slipper Stakes represent a considerable slice of the commercially bred rising two year-olds of 2008/2009 so we thought a Sale Mail of the entries might prove interesting.
From a total 2187 entries some 1509 were offered at auction with the remaining 678 either bought privately, leased or retained to race by their breeders.
For a breakdown of the figures and all the Golden Slipper nominations which were offered for sale sortable by Nominator, Sire, Dam, Sale, Vendor, Buyer and Price click here
