Toorak Toff Wins Gr1 Golden Rose
On the Australian track, Glenlogan Park Stud's 4-time Gr1-winning sire Show A Heart (Brave Warrior-Miss Sandman, by Regal Advice) added a Gr1 triumph black-type when his colt Toorak Toff (Show A Heart-Orong, by Grand Lodge) notched his 2nd successive stakes victory in a fortnight (after returning from a 16-weeks spell) when he gained the judge's decision in a 3-way photo-finish to the $1 million Gr1 Golden Rose (1400m) for 3YOs at Rosehill Gardens in Sydney. Toorak Toff (ridden by Damien Oliver for trainer Rick Hore-Lacy) scored by a half-neck from fellow colt Squamosa (Not A Single Doubt-Class Success, by Success Express) with a further short-neck to another colt Ilovethiscity (Magic Albert-Kensington Rose, by Kenfair). Toorak Toff (a $135,000 yearling consigned from Glenlogan at the 2009 Gold Coast Sale) took his record to 5 wins (also including last start's Listed Vain Stakes over 1100m at Caulfield on August 14, March's Gr3 Jansz National Stakes over 1200m at Morphettville & February's Magic Millions Classic over 1200m at Morphettville) from 8 starts for $975,645 earnings.

The runaway 4.5-lengths victory by undefeated juvenile filly Crossyourheart (Show A Heart-Red Century, by Centaine) in NZ's richest 2YO race, the weekend's NZ$500,000 Listed NZ Bloodstock Classique (1200m) at Te Rapa, has catapulted her Queensland-based Glenlogan Park stallion Show A Heart (Brave Warrior-Miss Sandman, by Regal Advice) into history. Following last month's victory by another of his juvenile fillies Mimi Le Brock (Show A Heart-God Love It, by St Covet) in Australia's $1 million 2YO Classic (1200m) at the Gold Coast, Show A Heart (last season's Australian champion 1st-season sire) now boasts the distinction of officially leading the 2YO Sires tables in both Australia & NZ, as well as completely dominating the 2nd Season Sires table in Australia (which does not include NZ prize-money).

In addition, Show A Heart already has 7 stakes-performers: a figure sure to rise & with the larger numbers & better quality mares covered in his 3rd, 4th & 5th seasons.

Another full sibling is Lifetime Story, the dam of triple Gr1 winner Shamekha. The three winners thus far are from just nine runners. Pierce Arrow (Cossack Warrior-Nothing To Do, by Nijinsky) had just 17 live foals from this debut crop. He stands for $2,200 at Delta Pines Stud this year.
