First foal for Helmet

Helmet colt born at Woodside Park Stud is first foal for triple G1 winner

The first foal by triple G1 winner Helmet was born at Woodside Park Stud in Victoria, August 10.

The colt out of juvenile-winning More Than Ready mare In Expectation has delighted all at Woodside Park Stud.

“He is a lovely strong colt with an attractive head and a powerful hindquarter. We couldn’t be happier,” said Woodside Park Stud’s Murray Tillett.

A dual G1-winning juvenile and a winner of the Caulfield Guineas in record time as a three-year-old, Helmet is a son of Champion stallion Exceed And Excel. He is out of the Singspiel mare Accessories, making him a three-quarter brother to dual G1-winning Commands four-year-old Epaulette.

After covering 114 mares in his first season at stud, Helmet is standing his second season at Northwood Park this year at a fee of $33,000 inc. GST.
