Debut Juvenile Winner for Hinchinbrook

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday February 2

Currently leading the Australian Second Season Sires List by earnings, exciting young sire Hinchinbrook posted his fifth two year-old winner of the season when the Robert Smerdon trained filly Alaskan Sun saluted on debut at Ballarat on Tuesday.

Easy in the market, Alaskan Sun was restrained to settle back in the field by Nick Hall, but when allowed to surge forward around the field on the home turn quickly loomed into contention.

She powered to the line to win the 1100 metre juvenile maiden by a length and a half in a most encouraging display.

Alaskan Sun was an $85,000 Inglis Premier purchase for James Bester Bloodstock from the Yarraman Park draft and is the third winner from three to race out of Anabaa (USA) mare Shine on Anna, who comes from the family of multiple Group I winner Contributer (IRE).

Yarraman Park sold the current yearling from Shine on Anna, a filly by Magic Albert, for $50,000 at the recent Magic Millions Yearling Sale.

Hinchinbrook has a big draft of 26 for the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale starting this Saturday, click here to see his draft.
