Promising HK winner for Sebring

Tara Madgwick - Monday June 8

Sebring three year- old Lucky Bubbles was made a Breednet 'One to Watch' when he bolted in at Wyong at his second start last August and showed that sort of form to win impressively at Sha Tin on Sunday.

Lucky Bubbles as a yearling

Previously trained by Bjorn Baker and now with KW Lui in Hong Kong, Lucky Bubbles improved on an unlucky second at his last start to forge clear and win the 1200 metre class three event by a length and a half.

A $90,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Three Bridges Thoroughbreds draft, Lucky Bubbles was bred by Gilgai Farm and is the first foal of stakes-placed Bubble Below, a half-sister by Hussonet (USA) to stakes-winner Lunaspur and three-quarter sister-in-blood to Group II winner Colorado Claire.

Bubble Below's second foal is this season's smart two year- old winner Bubbleberry.

Bubble Below was bought by Victorian based Musk Creek Farm at the 2013 Inglis Broodmare Sale for $145,000 and she has a weanling filly by Stratum and will foal to Zoustar this spring.
