" DID YOU SEE BLINK " ?

Dynamic Syndications clients who have so far purchased into our stunning colt by Stratum ex Bridie Belle had a lot to shout about on Friday 20 August when the Golden Slipper winner - The Champion First Crop Sire and Champion 2yo Sire - STRATUM, posted another winner after the spectacular debutant filly BLINK scored with ease.

BLINK is the Full Sister to our colt.

The Danny O'Brien trained BLINK jumped well and was always up on the pace before dashing clear at the top of the straight to win the 1000m three year-old maiden by a length and a half in a stylish performance.

 Blink - As a yearling

A $90,000 purchase from the Magic Millions Yearling Sale from the draft of Yarraman Park, BLINK (pictured as a yearling) is the first foal of Group Two winning Al Akbar mare Bridie Belle (NZ), who comes from the family of Group One winning miler Penny Edition.

Our stunning Full Brother to BLINK has broken in superbly and has his trainer Jason Coyle very excited about his prospects.  

Now his full sister has won so stylishly on debut and reports suggesting she is certain to be heading towards Black Type events in the near future, our 2yo full brother looks incredibly good value for astute investors.

It's official ! STRATUM is Sensational ! STRATUM concluded his first season sires premiership with a historic milestone NEVER before achieved. He cracked the $3 million in earnings mark with his first crop ! 

One of our most promising young stallions to have entered the Australian sire ranks in years, Golden Slipper winner Stratum arrived at Widden in 2006 with connections living a dream of him being a success for the stud but nobody could envisage what a fairytale season that unfolded for the son of Redoute's Choice.  

Stratum became the first stallion in history whose progeny have amassed over $3million in their first season in Australia.  

Widden Stud boss Antony Thompson said "No stallion has ever cracked $3million in their first season, with Danehill coming closest 17 years ago with $1.7million."

"Danehill was in fact the last stallion before Stratum to sire a Golden Slipper winner in his first crop and in more modern times the highest earning Champion first season stallions have been the late Lion Hunter with $1.5million and More Than Ready with $1.4million."

Stratum has had 53 youngsters to race already, a number that is more than any other sire this season, his stock proving sound, tractable and easy to train.

From those runners, Stratum has had 15 winners (1 each in New Zealand and Singapore) and 17 placegetters, so over 60% have finished in the first three and amongst them are Golden Slipper winner Crystal Lily, stakes-winner Pellizotti, Group One placed American Crew and stakes-placed Celebration Girl, Across the Moon and Strata Star and Posh Chic, Eclair Mystic and Martika, etc.

"He has 11.3% stakes performers to runners, which is the highest figure in the top five leading 2YO sires in the country which includes Redoute's Choice (9.1%), More Than Ready (7.7%) and Commands (5.1%).

His efforts have earned him the title of Champion Australian First Season Sire 2009/2010 and Champion Sire of Australian 2YOs making him the first freshman sire to win both titles since his grand-sire Danehill (USA) attained the rare feat in 1993/1994.

As the achievements of his progeny on the racetrack have unfolded, Stratum's popularity in the sale ring has grown to the extent he averaged $347,500 at the 2010 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale behind only Redoute's Choice and ahead of Zabeel, Encosta De Lago and Fastnet Rock.

His yearlings in 2010 sold up to $500,000, $450,000, $325,000, $300,000 - offering breeders some astonishing returns on his $30,250 service fee.

STRATUM = The BEST First Crop Sire since DANEHILL
