STACKS OF ABILITY IN STACKS ON

Lightly raced SAXON filly STACKS ON, showed by her win on Saturday, just why she started an odds on favourite when being beaten at her first start in a race back in December. The filly was probably racing on a bit of nervous energy back then and certainly lacked a bit of maturity however some time in the paddock and a long slow preparation have worked wonders for her.

The filly went to the races on Saturday without the benefit of a trial however she raced like a very experienced race horse when beating a handy field of mostly raced two year olds. Jason whiting settled the filly outside the leader and showed great patience before asking the filly for an effort in the straight. The filly was still inclined to stargaze getting to the line however she had enough in reserve to hold on for an impressive victory.

The filly brought up the fifth individual two year old winner for her first season sire Saxon, making him the leading first season sire in W.A and the third leading first season sire in Australia on individual winners. I reckon we may have enough in the team to help get him over the line on a national basis.

Jason whiting looks fairly comfortable below as he pushes out STACKS ON hands and heels in the opening race on Saturday.




Cherie Reid, wife of stud manager Nigel Reid is pretty happy with the effort of both STACKS ON and Jason Whiting as she leads them both back to scale after an impressive victory.
