The dream belt Racing Run by Janet and Peter Argus and their extraordinary brood brother, Liberty City (The pres), last night in Alexandra Park was successfully embellished in the G3 Northern Breededers Trotting Stakes.
Most of the trotting enthusiasts are familiar with the deeds of the full sisters Empire & Atlantic City, with the former 2yo trotting foal of the year and a G1 winner, during the latter showed that she was a chip from the aged block by winning the G3 -Stakes 2yo Filles Klasser for a year and the last sister was removed from the older sister.
Although the couple's oldest sister and the first foal from the mare, American muscle, is a six figure earner (American rightsMuscle mass), is a subsequent thought in the extraordinary story for the Argus'. Last night, however, she cemented herself in the annals of the group racing success with her own ash put. Justification You could stand up for a previous career that was a model of consistency.
“We were not confident of going to the race, but we knew that she would be competitive,” said Janet Argus after the victory this morning.
“We were on the right track last night and knew that she would need a little luck, and she came together with a nice trip from Tony. We had only hoped for a placement and it would have been fantastic to place a group.
“It was very special and it was a real thrill that she achieved victory. Very often she puts her head off and does the work – if she has good chances. I think last night was her 10th victory, ”said Argus.
Argus is rightly in her assessment, 10 victories and 19 places together with 188,000 US dollars in racing missions are a wonderful performance in today's trab landscape, and the victory last night has achieved the trio of the troughs in scarce air in Fresh Zealand. Better, they are also the first three foals from the mare, which was certainly not reached on these banks so often.
Some possibilities arose in people like Niamey (Pocaro, Daenerys Targaryen), Janetta's pride (Jo Anne, Shirley Temple), ten to one (Habibti, Habibti Ivy), another love (Aldebaran flowed, alodebaran, paramount queen, high. But while some of their daughters have expanded their legacy and also their legacy, Also have some of their sons the success of the group race, none of them have three groups -Rennn -winner daughters, let alone one after the other!
2020 NZ Trabing Broodmare of the Year is one who has three group races in Escapee, Galway Girl and Needle, but the latter won their G3 in Australia, not that it decreases from their legacy, especially if they take their brutal winter fur into their breeding celebration.
Admittedly, there were not the possibilities that are now available for trabs and mares, but the fact remains an unmistakable performance for the ARGUS brood.
As previously indicated, Michelle Valais and Bernie Hackett received the six -year -old mare from Tony Cameron a peach of a handlebar.
Cameron was allowed to cover four in the running line and sat down to sit on the death seat when they circulated the showgrounds Bend for the second occasion. With Luk Chin and the winner of the past few years, Jasinova, it dictates at the front, it would look as if American muscles were commissioned to make it on the tough opportunity for the rest of the 2700 m trip.
When the Babe did not lose the gap of the leader, Cameron was able to slide into the pens and enjoy a helmet to follow until the HR -Fiskhen -Fahrspur presented itself, so that the colorful daughter of muscle mass last season with winning stables, faith in Manchester, in Manchester, in Manchester, in a fight, in a fight, in a fight.

“We still can't believe how much luck we are. We enjoy it every minute and still incredulously to be candid. It seems to be much stronger now. You know that she is six years aged and has continued to build up strength this year. It is really invigorating to get this group race with her because she never had many ways to take part in this level, ”said Argus.
“We had a lot more options for high -quality races to the south, especially with Empire City and Atlantic City. The advantage is that the races are in your garden, which makes it much easier. Up here, a horse has to show a lot of skills before you even travel south.
“After the race, many people mentioned that they could be the third, and that's pretty amazing. Many people dream of having a mare like them. With Empire City and Atlantic City it is also incredible. We always called her “Miami” and she really deserved this group victory. She is such a consistent mare – she had so many placements together with her 10 wins. She absolutely deserves it, ”she said.

When asked whether they would have thought about what the future could have been for the American muscles and whether there could be a prospect that she sees against her younger half -sister, Empire City, for the first time on the race night, argus that a lot of water can still go under the bridge.
“I would have no idea what would come next, but it would be nice. I will leave the Michelle – you will decide what is best. I think she will see what is nearby in the open classes. She has set up a few races in the next few weeks, but I'm not sure what you are. Michelle will make a decision based on the field and whether it is competitive enough to be there, ”she said.
“Empire City and Atlantic City have been working again at Phil (Williamson) for about four weeks. We expect you to come in the next few weeks. We are also hopeful for the two -year -old on what the hill is because it is also at work and shows some skills. “
The Argus had produced another Volstead from Liberty City in this breeding season, but went back to Plan B when a scarce bad luck hit the mare.
“We had a crack with Volstead, but she lost it after she had received a 14 -day positive test. We decided to turn into a fresh seed option, and at that time it is positive for King of the North. We are still waiting for the 42-day scan, so we are confident. It looked like a attractive, immense, well embryo, and we would love it if it obviously took it, so his fingers crossed, ”said Argus.
At this speed it seems that Liberty City would have no problem creating a capable trot with sperm from a bull, so that a crown master with two breeds like King of the North will probably be a coveted goods, especially if it is a stallion foal.
“We have a look at keeping the stut foals in this phase, and now we have three who are group racing winners. It is really incredible,” said Argus.
In fact, incredible.
