The number 1 stud farm in New Zealand Cambridge Park has
stood the great Zabeel for ten years now and he has sired the winners of the
following. 7 Derbies, 6 Oaks, 3 Cox Plates, 2 Melbourne and 2 Caulfield Cups
a total of 31 group 1 winners. His progeny has earnt over $68 million. It was
his father Sir Tristram that put Cambridge on the map before Zabeel but out
of the Nureyev mare Lady Gizelle a dynasty was to be built. A fiery colt had
arrived. I can remember zabeel playing up at the barriers a couple of times
he always looked like he wanted to just race.

Stravinsky NZ$35,000
Cambridge Stud's shuttle
stallion Stravinsky continues to prove himself as an international sire.
Chinese Dragon, the exciting colt by the Nureyev stallion, has won his
third stakes race in the USA.
The win came in the $US86,875 Alcatraz Breeders Cup Stakes (1600m) on turf
for three-year-olds on Sunday.
It was his fourth win in succession in California, and his fifth win
overall.
Trained by Bob Hess, and ridden by Corey Nakatani, Chinese Dragon settled
in behind the pace before taking the lead over the final 200m to win by a
comprehensive one and three quarter lengths.
The time was 1.37.00 on the firm track.
Chinese Dragon, out of the Alydar mare Fabulous Fairy, was bred by Ben
Sangster and the colt now has the impressive record of five wins from just
six race starts.
Racing for Carter Hale Jr and the Roncelli Family Trust Chinese Dragon has
previously won the Santa Anita Pasadena Stakes and the La Puenta Stakes and
he has earned stakes of $US217,182.
Stravinsky, standing this season at Cambridge Stud for $35,000, plus gst -
as usual for this international stallion - had winners elsewhere around the
globe over the past week.
Flemington trainer Michael Moroney produced the two-year-old colt Straddle
(NZ) (ex Shariat, by Zabeel) to win over 1230m at Geelong on Sunday.
Pe Quente (USA) (ex Bemissed, by Nijinsky) won over 1200m at Delaware Park,
USA, on Saturday, and Soldier’s Tale (USA) (ex Myrtle, by Batshoof) won by
a neck over 1200m at York, England, on Friday.
On Wednesday three-year-old filly Bristol Lane (USA) (ex Energical, by
Affirmed) demolished a field of fillies and mares by two and a quarter
lengths over 1800m at Belmont Park, USA, and the well-bred two-year-old
Single Trac (ex Singalong, by Danasinga) won the juvenile race over 1200m
at Dargaville.
Meanwhile Stravinsky is third on the Australian Sires list for sires with
their second crop racing.
Furthermore, he is second on the list behind Redoute’s Choice based on
sires remaining that are available to Australasian breeders.
