MOUNTAIN REVELS IN STAKES WIN

Breeding & Racing has reported that Queensland stalwart, Monashee Mountain (below), can add another stakes win to the scrapbook with the comprehensive victory of Revelstoke last week. Monashee Mountain, who now has over 400 winners to his credit, is also the sire of 17 stakes winners and 14 stakes placegetters worldwide.

In the US, Eliza Park’s Queensland-based Gr3-winning stallion Monashee Mountain (Danzig-Prospectors Delite, by Mr Prospector) added a black-type success when 4YO mare Revelstoke (ex. Libeccio, by Danzatore) scored a 4.75-lengths victory in the US$75,000 Listed Firecracker Handicap (8 furlongs on turf) for fillies & mares at Mountaineer Park in West Virginia, to improve upon her runner-up effort in this same race last year. Revelstoke took her record to 4 wins & 9 placings (including 2011’s Listed West Virginia Senate President's Stakes over 8 furlongs at Mountaineer Park and Listed Firecracker Handicap over 8 furlongs at Mountaineer Park) from 20 starts for US$165,277 earnings.
