Amazingly the Dam of LEAP TO FAME and SWAYZEE is a very hard mare to keep in foal , and has slipped the foal for several seasons unfortunately. the mare Lettucereason only has 4 live foals to race. The first one named MAXIMUS RED plowed around NSW for the Turnbulls for years around 2018-21 , winning about 20 of those Bathurst type $5000 races before going to USA and winning more. near 50 races in the end. Lately Lettucereason has had just 3 Filly foals since Leap To Fame foaled in 2018. One is a Full sister to Leap To Fame named CLAIM TO FAME. a 2 year-old next year i think. -
Great pics. Both looked the part. Hoping we can still afford to get the horses to the races next week, even if we can't afford to fly/drive there to watch them! -

Local trainers Shane and Brian Anderton are looking north to Christchurch with their mare Inflamed (NZ) (Ghibellines) after she proved too tough for her rivals in the Mosgiel Tavern Beaumont Publican’s Cup (1500m) at Wingatui on Sunday. The intention was to take a sit with the daughter of Ghibellines, however, she jumped away well and was in the thick end of the action early on. Apprentice jockey Jack Taplin had no option but to press forward for the lead with the mare, and the pair quickly took control of the race. Taplin rated Inflamed to perfection up front and she proved to have a better kick than her rivals in the concluding stages to hold onto her advantage to win by a head over the fast finishing The Hangover. While the pre-race tactics didn’t go to plan, the Andertons were rapt to get the victory nonetheless. “We were hoping to get a bit of cover in behind them,” Shane Anderton said. “As I said to the young fella (Taplin), she can jump and put a length on them pretty quickly. “He rated her well, he sat as long as he could and she got the job done.” Having proven herself over 1500m, a further step up to a mile could be on the cards in the Gr.3 Donaldson Brown South Island Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) at Riccarton next Saturday, however, Anderton said it could prove to be too quick of a back-up for his mare. “We will have to get home now and work out what we do,” he said. “We were half pie thinking about going to Riccarton next week but that might be a bit too soon.” While the Breeders’ Stakes may come up too soon, Anderton is keen to head to Riccarton with Inflamed in the coming months for other targets. “There is some nice racing coming up there in the autumn, so there is bound to be something there for her,” he said. A homebred mare, Inflamed is out of stakes-winning Gallant Guru mare Ortem Fire, a half-sister to Group Three winner Inferno, the dam of Group One winner Smokin’ Romans. Inflamed has proven to be a solid performer on the track, having now won seven of her 34 starts, including the Listed Stewards Stakes (1200m) at Riccarton last November, and she has earned just shy of $270,000 in prizemoney.
