With the 2010/2011 racing season almost complete, a look back at the successful season Reset has had, is an extremely positive pointer to his Spring candidates.
Recording stylish victories on July 24 at Flemington, three-year-old filly Star Of Giselle and her paternal half-brother Module created promising impressions, highlighting their cases for Spring glory.
Having her fourth career start, the Matthew Ellerton and Simon Zahra-trained Star Of Giselle scored a narrow, but impressive victory over 1100m. Confirming after the race that the filly would now target black type, the co-trainers were very upbeat about her future prospects. A winner of two of her four starts, the filly is out of the dual Listed-winning Danehill mare Princesa, a three-quarter-sister to the G3-winning, G1-placed Kaphero.
Two races later, the Peter Gelagotis-trained Module recorded his third consecutive win of his current campaign, taking his overall record to six wins from 11 starts. Being now prepared for a possible tilt at the G1 Caulfield-Melbourne Cup double, the connections of the gelding could not speak more highly of their promising runner after the race.
With 9 individual Stakes winners to date this season in Australia, Reset is the pride of Victoria, having achieved more Stakes winners than any other Victorian-based sire. Led by the improving filly Pinker Pinker, a winner of the G2 Angus Armanasco and third in the G1 AJC Oaks, she is the type of progressive filly that could develop into a classy four-year-old mare come the Spring.
For those stallions with over 100 runners so far this season, Reset sits in second position behind fellow Darley stallion Lonhro with a Stakes winner to runners ratio of 5.5%, an impressive figure considering Lonhro has had over 60 more runners than Reset.
An unbeaten, dual G1 winner on the track, Reset is the sire of a Derby winner in his first crop, a Guineas filly in his second crop and an Oaks filly in his third crop and will stand the forthcoming breeding season at Darley’s Northwood Park at a fee of $16,500 (inc GST).
