Trade Fair Tops The 120 Winners Mark
A successful Easter weekend saw the Alwyn Park Stud-based Trade Fair lift his tally of individual winners past the 120 mark.
Wins by Corporate Larrikin in the Diageo Maiden (1100m) at Albany on Sunday and by Trade Down in the www.gannons.com.au Maiden (1600m) at Pinjarra yesterday saw the number of winning Trade Fair progeny grow to 121 at 55.8 per cent.
Corporate Larrikin was bred by Mrs Siobhan Campbell and is from the 10-time winner Corporate Lady (Corporate Raider-Ciana Belle, by Balmerino).
Trade Down, bred by Rick Hart’s Kentville Pty. Ltd., is from Downswept, by Montjeu, and comes from the family of Kiwi star O’Malleys Boy, the winner of 11 races, including the Group 2 Concorde Stakes and Group 3 Great Northern Challenge and second in both the Group 1 Railway Handicap and the Group 1 Easter Handicap.
It could have been an even bigger weekend for Trade Fair with the highly-consistent Stock Trader a length second to Back To A Walk in the Morley Growers Market Handicap (1200m) at Ascot on Saturday and the emerging international star Trade Storm a luckless 2 3/4len. fourth in the $5 million Group 1 Dubai Duty Free (nine furlongs) at Meydan on Sunday as the 4/1 favourite.
