CLASSY LINE-UP IN NEED FOR SPEED SERIES

There’s an impressive line-up of Yabby Dam Farms-bred 3yos face the starter in Need For Speed Prince and Need For Speed Princess heats at Bendigo on Wednesday night (September 24).

Commodus (Father Patrick US-American Jewel US), Lotus Louise (Volstead US-Beautiful River Fra), Sam Nien (Volstead US-Sassy Pinevale), Kyvalley Jagger (Father Patrick US-Destinee Jenilou Fra) and Jetaway Saint (Quaker Jet Fra-Bouttemont) are engaged in Prince heats, and Iron Women (Quaker Jet Fra-Val Gardena) and Tracy The Jet (Love You Fra-Cyclone Jeter NZ) in the Princess heat.

EXCITING that YDF principal Pat Driscoll has combined with Aldebaran Lodge to secure 3yo filly Gatesys Gem to fill a slot in the $500,000 Ascent.

She took out the NSW Victoria Derby and Victoria Oaks double this season, and has eight wins in 12 starts.

READY Cash Fra mare Bouttemont continues her great run with her foals.

She completed a treble of first-time YDF-bred winners with 4yo Speak Volumes (Volstead US) opening his winning account at Goulburn on September 16 at his eight start.

He was the first foal out of Bouttemont and followed the first-time wins of 3yo Jetaway Saint (Quaker Jet Fra) and 2yo Jilliby Aura (Quaker Jet Fra) - all in the space of two weeks.

YDF-bred Keayang Gucci kept the run of the same family going with a seventh career win at Melton on September 20.

Keayang Gucci is a half-sister to Bouttemont, with each out of Showmethemaori.
