Tara Madgwick - Tuesday November 24

The renowned colours of the Hutchins family made famous by Australian Horse of the Year Typhoon Tracy were carried to victory at Newcastle on Tuesday by the half-sister to Group I ATC Australian Oaks winner Once Were Wild.

Hallowed Crown is the sire of Send Me Wild.

A late blooming four year-old mare by Hallowed Crown, the Ron Quinton trained Send Me Wild was sent out favourite for the 1350m maiden and scored a dominant length and a half win.

Placed once from four starts last season, she has obviously strengthened and improved from her break and can win more races.

A homebred for the Hutchins family, Send Me Wild is the ninth winner from 10 foals to race from Wildesong, who they bought for $55,000 at the 2014 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale.

Wildesong was retired from stud duty earlier this year and her final foal is a yearling colt by Sooboog.

Send Me Wild looks a progressive type for Hallowed Crown, who stands at Twin Hills Stud at a fee of $11,000 and is best known for siring Group I ATC Australian Oaks and $7.5million Golden Eagle winner Colette.
