Supido a straight-shooter from Gilgai Farm

Gilgai Farm owner Rick Jamieson bred his latest Flemington straight-six winner with lightly-raced stallion Supido on Anzac Day.

Supido (Sebring) posted his fifth win running in the Phillip Schuler Hcp (1200m) and trainer Mick Kent is keen to send him to Adelaide for the G1 Goodwood (1200m) on May 21.  The exciting four year-old powered to the line under 60 kg to score by nearly two lengths in a dominant display.

Jamieson’s world champion Black Caviar won a half-dozen Group 1 sprints down the famous straight course and The Quarterback added another in the Newmarket Hcp last month.

“I will have a look at the Goodwood weights – ideally, he would go straight there but I have to weigh up whether he would get in,” Kent said.  “I might have to run him again to make sure of a start.”

Jamieson sold Supido through Three Bridges Thoroughbreds for $190,000 at the 2013 Inglis Melbourne Premier yearling sale.  His dam Lady Succeed (Brian’s Time) won twice up to 1800m in Japan and she is a half-sister to former Contract Racing stallion Esperero (Forty Niner).

Second dam Hydro Calido (Nureyev) was a Group 2 winner at Deauville and is a half-sister to leading sires Exit To Nowhere (Irish River) and Machiavellian (Mr. Prospector).

Supido was the second Three Bridges graduate to score at headquarters on Monday following Every Faith (Not a Single Doubt).  She was a profitable pin-hook for the Liston family having been purchased for $28,000 as a foal and then re-offered at the 2012 Inglis Premier where she made $130,000 to the bid of Barry, Barbara & Rebecca Saunders.

Every Faith’s victory in the William Newton VC Hcp (1610m) improved her record to 5 wins, including the LR SAJC Laelia Stakes, for prizemoney of $300,000.
