Despite a record breaking fourth
consecutive sires’ premiership, Bel Esprit hasn’t been resting on his laurels
in 2011/12 with top 10 spots on the national charts both in terms of earnings
and individual winners.
Thus far, Bel Esprit has produced a double
on 5 August with Island Bel (ex. Dawn Again by Marooned) and Silver Falls (ex.
Swish Trish by Redoute’s Choice); another interstate double on the 14th
with Mystical Bel (ex. Mysterieux by Snaadee) and Undercurrent (ex. Rivers
Secret by Flying Spur); an incredible ‘quaddie’ on the 20th with
Easter Esprit (ex. Easter Road by Revoque), Morphettville winner Forty Two
Below (ex. Danish by Danehill), San Mateo (ex. Zippast by Lord Seymour) and
Spirit of Many (ex. Lady Acumen by Sound Reason); a treble on the 27th
with Rosehill winner Balavan (ex. Danure by Flying Spur), Doomben flyer
Belletrist (ex. Lady Nickelii by Roman Artist) and Easter Esprit scoring her
second win in the month; yet another quaddie on 4 September with Spirit of
Pompeii (ex. Pompeii Glory by Pompeii Court) and Undercurrent (his second win
for the season), plus the Singapore pair – Peaceful Warrior (ex. Let’s Begin by
Umatilla) and Zac Warrior (ex. Lessie by Belvic) … a great day’s work with four
winners and a third from just seven runners!
You can also throw into the mix, Vigneron
(ex. Lenswood by Woodman) who hails from Bel Esprit’s first crop and won again
in NSW on Friday, along with Andrew Noblet’s Navillus Superman (ex. Sharna
Cabarna by Dolphin Street) who is something of a superman with wins on 24 July,
11 August and 25 August before running a neck second over a mile at
Morphettville on Saturday.
And then of course there is the clearly
brilliant Bel Sprinter (ex. Gavroche by Snippets) who followed up his stakes
victory at Caulfield on 13 August with a truly gutsy second in the Bobbie Lewis
Quality-G3 at Flemington on 3 September after conceding weight to the eventual
winner – a Group One winner in May – and being forced to cart them up in front.
Although it was his first defeat, Bel Sprinter certainly lost no fans.
But it may well be the deeds Brisbane
sprinter, Found The One, that has us reaching for the little black book!
