April 5, 2022 was a red-letter for South Australian breeding with seven winners across two States.
At Globe Derby Park, Lildabldooya (Hes Watching-Swingsnroundabouts), bred, owned and trained by Toby Ryan, won the first two-year-old race of the season in SA, while the SA Yearling Sale graduates Rocknroll Tallara (A Rocknroll Dance-Proud Trick) and Bella Sofia (Island Tiger-Jill’s Pride) both saluted on the same card.
Rocknroll Tallara, a three-year-old filly, was bred by NSW breeder Michael Taylor and reared at Allenby Lodge stud, while Bella Sofia was bred by Lynette Brown. A fourth SA bred winner at Globe Derby was Tuscan Star (Four Starzzz Shark-Tuscan Sue), bred and owned by Lou Antolini.
Across the border at Mildura, another SA sales graduate in Monsieur Steel (Smiling Shard– French Fashion), bred by Peter Breadmore, started the ball rolling for SA breds. Other SA winners were Rojenbye (Shadow Play-Imachicitoo), bred by the Cormack family, Flossytom (Artesian-Flossy Gem), bred by R. B. and R. J. Spehr, and Rocking Wroxton (A Rocknroll Dance-Party Time Girl), who was bred by the late Alison Stevens.
