Come on down for a look and a bite to eat 👀🍜🥪
The exceptional start to the stallion career of #USNavyFlag has continued with him getting his 3rd winner on the board from just his 4th runner. His 2yo filly named Love Reigns ran out an impressive 9.75 length winner on debut at Keeneland. The Wesley Ward trained filly received TDN Rising Star status for the performance. 💥💥💥💥

The good news continues to flow for Valachi Down's former stallion U S Navy Flag overnight with juvenile colt Kaasib becoming the second individual winner for the triple Gr.1 winning son of War Front.
The progeny of #USNavyFlag have now had a total of four starts for two wins and a placing - a very encouraging start to his Stud career.

U S Navy Flag has had his first winner in the Northern Hemisphere from just his 2nd starter.
Ocean Vision who jumps from barrier seven at Dundalk, won in nice style and looks to have a lot of improvement in him.
Very encouraging start for this sire that his first two runners to hit the track have been a winner and an unlucky second.

Sold by Valachi at Karaka 2020 Book 1 Sale, Italian Poet (Zacinto – Quest) won over 1450 metres on Thursday at Kilmore, Victoria. It was a promising win by the flashy type with white blaze and three white socks.
He was purchased by First Light Racing, bloodstock agent Paul Willetts, and trainer Simon Zahra. The first winner for Quest, who won five times from 2000m – 2200m.
“He’s always had ability, consistent, and terrific ride by Damien to sum it up quickly,” Zahra said.
U S Navy Flag made an encouraging start to his career as a sire with his 1st runner finishing a nice 2nd on debut. His name is Kaasib and he jumps from gate 4 in the red jacket with white sleeves.
In a field of 9 over 5 furlongs he was sent out favourite and was the unlucky runner of the race as he struck a couple of bits of interference and was held up until getting clear late and finishing off nicely to get within a neck of the winner.

Valachi Downs resident sire Savile Row made the perfect start to his stallion career, as he did in his first outing as a racehorse, when his 2YO filly Perfectly Suited took out the first on the card at Whanganui today over 1200m.
Ridden by @bridgetgrylls and trained by Valachi's Autridge/Shailer combination, the juvenile proved far too strong for her opposition dominating from the front and winning by a comfortable six lengths.
Bred and raced by Kevin and Joana Hickman, we look forward to following her progress and the career of resident sire Savile Row.
Back to back wins for The Actress after taking out the last at Matamata in the Ancroft Developments 2000 for trainers Stephen Autridge and Kris Shailer.
The mare by Savabeel proved too good for her rivals after stepping up in class and looks to be an exciting up and coming prospect.
Special mention to our stable jockey Craig Grylls on an amazing day at the office with a hatric including the Matamata Cup with Vernanme. Well done Gryllsy!
