Highly promising first season sire,
Sharkbite, provided the catch of the day on Sunday with an outstanding debut
performance by Recife Beach in the Sky Racing World 2YO Handicap over 1000m at
Wyong.
Trained by Kim Waugh (right), the flashy bay eased
in betting but not in effort, racing away to score comfortably for Blake Shinn,
defeating a sharp field: among them the odds on favourite, Countryman, who had
run second to subsequent Group Two winner, Scandiva, at his previous start.
Not surprisingly, Waugh has a huge opinion
of the youngster who is out of the Spartacus mare, Brookton Flash, a 4-time
winning half sister to multiple Group One winner Sincero.
Happily for the owners – which include
Kim’s husband, former test cricketer Mark Waugh – the trainer believes Recife
Beach is right up to black type and, judging by the manner of his win at Wyong,
it would definitely appear to be on the agenda.
