Another
brace of winners in Australia and England over the past 24 hours has shed
further light on the likely long-term profile of Dream Ahead's progeny based on
the evidence of his first worldwide crop to race.
An
increasing amount of data is clearly suggesting that the Emirates Park shuttle
stallion is siring the near-perfect racing vehicle — a 2-year-old with the
natural speed to salute over specialist sprint distances before training on to
become a multiple winning 3-year-old miler!
Today's
Ipswich meeting in Queensland witnessed Game of Dreams record the third victory
of his 2-year-old season.
The domestically-bred son of Dream Ahead became his
sire's first-ever winner in Australia back in early December and has now
registered three individual victories at 1005m, 1100m and 1200m.
Overnight
in England, Silent Attack won in the famous colours of Godolphin, claiming a
3-year-old handicap over a mile on his home track of Newmarket. The success
proved to be the colt's second consecutive win this month at the imperial
equivalent of 1600 metres.
No fewer
than four of Dream Ahead's last five winners in England have been over 1600
metres — all in the past couple of weeks. Before Silent Attack scored for Saeed
Bin Suroor overnight, fellow first-crop members Golden Stunner (Newmarket, 8f),
Blackout (Newmarket, 8f) and Haley Bop (Musselburgh, 8f) also won over a mile
at their latest outing — two over the same course and distance as last night's
victor.
As Game of
Dreams is the product of an A.P. Indy mare, there's every reason to believe
that the hat-trick of juvenile wins the locally raced Dream Ahead youngster has
posted for his connections already this season will serve as a preview to
bigger and better successes over longer distances when he races as a
3-year-old.
