June 9 – Ill-fated Golden Slipper winner Catbird is determined to go out in a blaze of glory having just cracked 100 Australian winners for the season following the win of Flying Havana at the Sunshine Coast over the weekend.
Regarded as somewhat of a quiet achiever when compared to some of Danehill’s more high profile sons, Catbird was a magnificent asset for Yarraman producing a stream of thoroughly appealing yearlings that were great favourites with trainers and hit the ground running.
The sire of stakes horses such as Cat’s Fun, Catechuchu, Diego Garcia, Cateclipse and more recently Facile Tigre and Burgeis, Catbird is sadly missed at Yarraman with his last crop of yearlings selling at Australasian sales this year.
