Lady Lynette one of Tasmania’s gamest exports
ONE of the gamest and most talented racemares to cross over the Bass Straight from Tasmania and campaign at a high level in Melbourne in recent years has been Lady Lynette, a 7-year-old who teeters on joining the million dollar earners club following a strong win in the Group 2 Blazer Stakes, a 1400m event for her sex at Flemington, on Sunday.
It was the 42nd start for this Tasmanian bred daughter of the imported Danehill sire Ladoni and her 28th first three prize cheque, comprised by 13 wins, seven seconds and eight thirds, and moved her prize money to $979,633. The Blazer has been her highest level win, but her five earlier Melbourne stakes victories included two in the Group 3 Tesio Stakes.
A sprinter – 1600m performer, she has run twice in Group1 races with the best effort being a second in a 12 runner Myer Classic at Flemington won by Typhoon Tracy. In addition Group 2 or 3 places have been in the MVRC Stocks Stakes - twice, Sunline Stakes, MRC Cockram Stakes, VRC Matriarch Stakes and SAJC Queen of the South Stakes.
At the beginning of her career, Lady Lynette earned her transfer to the mainland with six wins in Tasmania, one of them a Listed event. She also went home in February of this year for two successive Listed wins.
Her sire Ladoni, a resident at her breeders, the Whishaw family’s Armidale stud at Carrick near Launceston, has been a consistent prominent Tasmanian sire for the past ten years.
Secured for the Whishaws by Brian Russell Bloodstock Service, Ladoni was one of the early and best performers got by Danehill at Coolmore in Ireland. He did all his racing in Germany, winning six races to 1800m in 11 starts.
Lady Lynette is the best of four winners from Queen’s Own, a winner at 1200m at Bairnsdale in Victoria by 3.5 lengths and a placegetter at Mornington, Sale and Moe. Her sire Coronation Day, a Bletchingly AJC Spring Champion Stakes and George Main Stakes winner, was exported to Korea in 2000 after eight seasons of use.
A sister to Caulfield Thousand Guineas third Regal Sashay and a half-sister to five winners, Queen’s Own is from Sasharad, an American bred daughter of Blue Sash, a sister to Without Fear, the distinguished sire used at the Lindsay Park stud in South Australia. Their dam Never Too Late won the English One Thousand and Oaks.
Reportedly on the market as a broodmare, the 16.0 hands brown Lady Lynette is trained for eight owners by the Seven Mile Beach headquartered David and Scott Brunton. She is currently stabled at Clyde near Cranbourne in Victoria.
