2,000 Guineas Hero Makfi's First Foals Arrive

2,000 Guineas hero Makfi (pictured) has his first foals on the ground.

The first arrival was a colt out of Raisonable, a half-sister to Group 1-placed Legerete, who was born at Haras des Monceaux in Normandy on January 20.

Monceaux manager Henri Bozo said: "We are really pleased with our Makfi colt, he is a great-looking, strong colt with good bone."

Westbury Stud Premier Sale Review

With 29 individuals on offer in the Karaka Premier Sale, Westbury Stud managed to provide quality yearlings to buyers including Lot 450, the cracking colt by Commands from winning Zabeel mare So So.

Purchased for $250,000 by Big Red Farm in Japan, this colt was one of the picks of the draft and attracted a fair amount of attention internationally on the second day of selling.

Petty Cury, Pretty Good.

Sunday's Ellerslie meeting attracted some top quality fields to support the million dollar feature for two-year-olds including the Curraghmore Stud 1400m where talented Westbury Stud filly Petty Cury (pictured) motored home in style recording her second win from four starts.

Trained by Don Sellwood, Petty Cury managed to get into a cosy trail position before being steered out into the open around the 400m by top jockey James Macdonald. Just before hitting the 200m Macdonald called upon the daughter of Not a Single Doubt and it was all over.
