STOCKWELL THOROUGHBREDS consistent sire ARTIE SCHILLER has again been proving his talents with a string of winners from limited runners in recent times.
His four year old son Art Cadeau has become his latest flag bearer by taking out the $150,000 Country Champions Qualifier over 1400m metres at Goulburn on Tuesday and putting himself in line for the $500,000 final to be run in April. It was Art Cadeau’s fourth win from 10 starts after finishing second at each of his other runs..
His win came two days after Kody Nestor produced a highly promising three year old filly Artie’s Aura to win by better than five lengths at Dubbo on Sunday for owner-breeder Stuart Ramsey’s Turangga Pastoral on debut.
Her stylish win followed on from Living The Dream returning to his best form to win over 1600 metres at Ascot on Saturday in a bold front running display, Another Sheila winning at Coffs Harbour and Gai Waterhouse and Tony Bott’s promising Major Artie making it three wins on end when stepping up to 1550 metres at Canterbury on Friday night
Artie Schiller has been a constant source of winners since he started his stud career in Australia in 2007. He began his career in fine form with a promising batch of two year olds which led him to being crowned Australia’s leading second season sire the following year, again with limited numbers.
His largest foal crop came in 2012 with 110 live foals but he has continued to bat above the average with smaller books of mares, returning stunning stakes performer results and winner percentages.
Artie Schiller ceased shuttling to the US two years ago and is a permanent resident at STOCKWELL THOROUGHBRES, Diggers Rest, Victoria.
Another feather in his cap is the success his Group One winning son Flying Artie is having with his first crop two year olds this season. He should follow in his sire’s footsteps and find outstanding results with his three year olds next season.
