Choistar Joins 2013 Cangon Roster

In an exciting addition to the Hunter-based Cangon Stud Farm of Jaime and Jennifer Mackay, it has been announced that Choistar (Choisir - Sveldte, by Star Watch) will join the farm's stallion roster for the 2013 breeding season. A decisive 5-length winner of the Listed AJC Fernhill Hcp (1600m) as a 2YO, Choistar notched two wins and two seconds from only seven starts during his juvenile campaign. In the same season he was runner-up to eventual Gr2 Bill Stutt Stakes winner and Gr1 Caulfield Guineas runner-up Carrara in the Listed BTC Doomben Slipper (1350m), as well as taking fourth in the Gr1 QTC TJ Smith Classic (1600m). As a 3YO he returned for two runs, highlighted by a thirds in the Gr3 BRC Vo Rogue Plate (1350m) and BTC Gold Edition Hcp (1200m). Unfortunately, Choistar's promising career was cut short at his third start as a 3YO after being galloped on in the Listed $1M Magic Millions 3YO Trophy. During his abbreviated racing career, Choistar defeated subsequent Gr1-winners Shoot Out and Captain Sonador, and raced against top performers Onemorenomore, Tickets, Manhattan Rain and Graceful Anna at Gr1 level, including fifth in the Gr1 AJC Champagne Stakes. Choistar's dam Sveldte is by Star Watch, a sire-son of multiple Champion sire Bletchingly, by the breed shaping Star Kingdom. She was a 12-time winner over distances ranging from 1200m up to 2050m and has produced four winners including stakes-placed 2YO Smooth Groove (by Fasliyev) and 6-time winning, stakes-performed She's A Rockstar (by Rock of Gibraltar). His oldest progeny are yearlings of 2013-14. Choistar will debut at Cangon Stud Farm in 2013 for a fee of $6,600, joining stable mates Nothin' Leica Dane ($4,500), Recapitalize ($3,300) & Sea Battle ($5,000).

Stallion Spartacus Dies At Cangon Stud

Champion 1st Season Sire of New Zealand where he stood at The Oaks, and the sire of 6 individual stakes-winners (2 at group level), Spartacus was standing his 1st season in Australia but was found dead in his paddock late November.

Cangon Stud principal Jaime Mackay commented: "It has been a huge loss for all of us as he has been so well received by breeders as he had so much to offer.

I saw her this morning & she's 100% better now. . . . . It's up to the owners to re-evaluate now & it could well be that she's finished racing."

Leica Falcon "was the subject of a reportedly large offer from connections of the Lee Freedman stable before the Melbourne Cup" & co-owner Margaret Eaton confirmed the latest offers "have been as significant as those before the Cup" but noted: "We do not want to sell him. We have stuck by Richard Freyer (current trainer). He has done a good job & he has some big plans for the horse. We hope to have this horse for many years." Eaton added Leica Falcon is due at she & husband Alan's Albury property for what may be a long spell: "It might be a significant spell, as he has some growing to do. So I am not sure how long it will be."
