Ggees Newsletter April 2010

There are still a few shares left in our rising 2yo bay filly by Elvstroem out of Bella Jinsky (by Encosta De Lago). The filly has been retained by her breeder Bill Cockram of Glentree Downs. Bill is a very successful owner and breeder and has agreed to lease the filly to the Ggees syndicate. Bill sent the filly to the breakers next week, he is extremely happy with her progress and speaking to Bill on Friday he said he is very pleased he made the decision to retain her to lease to us rather than sell her at the Melbourne Premier sale earlier this year as he is very optimistic about her potential.

If you are interested in more information about this filly, and joining this Ggees syndicate - please contact Tanya (0417 193071) or Karen (0418 171 254) or email us at ggees@ggees.com

Booboisie update

After a nice long spell sunning herself on the fresh pastures of Drysdale, Booboisie (by Stratum) returned to training at the Ballarat stable. She has come back in very good condition after the break and this is the preperation that we expect her to get to the races. She has shown us on the training track that she has ability, now we have to transfer this to the racetrack. Booboisie will be transferred back to Caulfield within six to eight weeks time. At this time we will organise a cocktail party for the syndicate with trainer Tony Vasil and Aquanita Racing manager Sam Doran. Tony wil have worked more with the filly at this time and will have a better idea of her ability and talent - Tony will be available to answer all of your questions at this function.

Stratum filly wins Golden Slipper

Stratum's filly Crystal Lily emulated his 2005 Golden Slipper win by taking out the 2010 edition for Mathew Ellerton & Simon Zahra. The boys did an exceptional job with this talented filly, also securing the Sweet Embrace Stakes, Inglis Premier and Blue Diamond Preview on the road to slipper glory. The following week Eclair Mystic and Stratcombe provided Stratum with a quinella in the 2yo Handicap at Caulfield. We are looking to seeing the Stratum's return in the Spring - with a big watch on our own filly Booboisie.

Permaiscuous son sells for $110k

Ggees foundation filly - Permaiscuous completed her first milestone as a broodmare during the Inglis Easter Sale this month. Her son by Encosta de Lago (Lot 95) went through the sales ring as Lot 95 and sold for $110,000 and will be trained by John McCardle in Victoria. Permaiscuous half sister by Choisir (Lot 94) also went through the ring, bringing $220,000 and will be trained by Robbie Griffiths at Cranbourne. This means that the Choisir - Permai filly will become stablemates with our Elvstroem filly. Lets hope they take a leaf out of Permaiscuous feedbin !
