Red Blast Wins Cup

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 15
The Champion 3YO of 2000/2001 when he won the Group I AJC Australian Derby, Spring Champion Stakes and STC Canterbury Guineas, Universal Prince featured with a new stakes-winner on Sunday when his five year-old son Red Blast won the Listed Boulder Cup at Kalgoorlie.

Universal PrincePrepared by Dan Morton, Red Blast took the 2100 metre staying feature by half a length, his overall record now six wins and three placings from 19 starts with prizemoney topping $218,000.

Red Blast is the best of two winners from Classy Charmer, a half-sister to Australian Horse of the Year Scenic Blast and Group I winner Gilded Venom.

Red Blast is closely related to Scenic Blast, who was also trained by Dan Morton and is by Scenic (IRE), the sire of Universal Prince.

Red Blast is the second stakes-winner for Universal Prince, who at age 17 has not covered a mare since 2012 according to Studbook.
