Sweet Timing for Chairman's Casino Prince Entry

Outstanding mare Sweet Deal, a daughter of Vinery Stud’s ever-reliable stallion Casino Prince (Flying Spur-Lady Capel, by Last Tycoon) added a fourth stakes success to her incredible resume when winning the Killahy Equine-sponsored Gr3 Hawkesbury Crown (1200m) on Saturday. The timing of the win couldn’t have been better, as she will be offered as Lot 58 in Friday night’s Inglis Chairman’s Sale at Riverside Stables for Newgate Consignment. Claiming her eleventh victory, the John Thompson-trained 6YO, took her earnings to almost $1.5 million and further cemented herself as one of the most consistent black-type performers of the past four years. Craig Rounsefell’s Boomer Bloodstock purchased Sweet Deal, who was bred by Pip Cooper, for $67,500 at the Classic Yearling Sale, where she was offered by Lincoln Farm. Rounsefell commented, “She’s just the most outstanding type, you don’t really get mares that are a better physical than her so I expect she will develop into an ultra-successful broodmare in time. She’s being offered at the Chairman’s Sale as a racing and breeding prospect – I would think the Gr1 Tatts Tiara in Queensland next month would be the ideal race for her so prospective buyers are getting a fabulous specimen with so much upside with Sweet Deal on Friday night.’’ To view the Chairman’s Sale catalogue, CLICK HERE.
