He
is a three-quarter brother to a Group I winner and leading young sire, so this
winner at Kembla on Tuesday is well worth noting.
The John Thompson trained Redoute's Choice colt Reflectance opened his winning
account with a neck win in the 1200 metre juvenile maiden at his second start.
A full brother to recent stakes-winner Metallurgical, Reflectance is the sixth
winner from star producer Lady Capel, who is also the dam of Group I winner
Casino Prince and stakes-winners Tagus and Law of the Land.
While Patinack Farm paid a whopping $2.2 million for Metallurgical back in
2008, they purchased Reflectance (pictured as a yearling) for a comparative bargain price of $625,000 in
2011 at Magic Millions from the draft of Baramul Stud.
Lady Capel had no yearling for the sales this year, but does have a weanling
filly by High Chaparral (IRE) and is in foal to Vinery shuttler Congrats (USA).
Champion sire Redoute's Choice scored a winning double at Kembla.
Breaking
her maiden in good style at Kembla on Tuesday for Torryburn Stud was
blue-blooded mare Kentucky Belle.
The Gerald Ryan trained four year-old daughter of Redoute's Choice has been thereabouts on many occasions,
but finally got the cash when taking the Benchmark 60 event over 1200 metres by
a length and a half.
Bred and retained to race by Torryburn Stud, Kentucky Belle is the first
Australian winner for Becky's Ransom (USA), a winning half-sister by Red Ransom
to champion sire and Group I winner More Than Ready and three-quarter
sister-in-blood to US Group I winner Bail Out Becky.
Becky's Ransom had no yearling for the sales this year, but does have a
weanling colt by Starcraft and is in foal to Denman.
