Rich Hill Stud’s Group 1 stallion roster was the dominant force at Te Rapa’s premier meeting with their progeny claiming a feature race double.

Gr.2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) victor Magic Carpet hails from the same lineage that has been in her family’s care for nearly 70 years, and she is delighted to continue that legacy. “The original mare was bought by my great-great-grandfather in 1957 at the Trentham sales,” she said. “My grandfather, Gerald Shand, has raced and bred a number of this family and my parents, Phil and…

Evaporate crowned a stellar period for his sire across the Tasman when he produced a gallant performance to land the thick end of the stake in Saturday’s Gr.3 Sandown Stakes (1500m). The Ben, Will and JD Hayes-trained four-year-old is a Little Avondale Stud homebred son of resident sire Per Incanto. “He had an outstanding week in Australia with eight winners, capped off by Evaporate,” Little Avondale Stud principal Sam Williams said. The farm had also earlier celebrated a victory at Te Rapa with the Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott-prepared She’s…
