VERY LITTLE OUTLAY GETS YOU INTO A PROMISING FILLY WITH MICHAEL FREEDMAN.
We definitely found some incredible value at Inglis Classic this year and this stunning filly by North Pacific is no exception; $12,000 is what we picked her up for. We couldn’t believe it.
Like Newgate Farm’s handsome young sire North Pacific, she is a gorgeous filly, with a stunning head, and a physique to match. She is a sharp, straight forward filly with her share of common sense and intelligence.
Her Dam is a city placed fast mare who won twice from four starts and one of those was as a two-year-old. She is a half to Stakes winner and Gr1 placed Sebring Sun, who stands at stud. He also won at 2.
Michael Freedman will train the filly and it is a fantastic entry level opportunity for those wanting to get some skin in the game without much outlay.
Sire
NORTH PACIFIC – With the Invincible Spirit branch of the Danzig sire line proving so popular in this part of the world, this handsome sprinter by I Am Invincible’s best son Brazen Beau (sire of 13 stakes winners in his first three crops) has attract lots of attention.
A dark brown entire with a look of his dual Group One winning sire, North Pacific is Brazen Beau’s second most expensive yearling, fetching $800,000 at the 2019 Inglis Melbourne Premier.
Tackling Group Two company in the Silver Slipper Stakes, 1100m at debut, North Pacific caught the eye with a strong finishing third behind Farnan. Given a little time, he was back in action with a 2½ length victory over 1100m at Rosehill in July.
And whilst that was an impressive win, it was at his next start that North Pacific really stamped himself as a talent, racing away to a 5¼ length victory in the Up-And-Coming Stakes-Gr.3, 1300m.
In the thick of things in the Run To The Rose-Gr.2, 1200m (third behind Rothfire and Ole Kirk) and the Golden Rose-Gr.1, 1400m (only just beaten by Ole Kirk), North Pacific was galloped on when finishing a close up fourth in the Eskimo Prince Stakes-Gr.3, 1200m, bouncing back with a Hobartville Stakes-Gr.2, 1200m second to Aegon. Subsequently sustaining the injury that led to his retirement, North Pacific (from the family of successful stallion Keeper) headed to stud as the winner of over $450,000 from just eight starts. Newgate will be hoping that he adds his name to the list of successful stallions to have won the Up And Coming, a race won by the likes of Snitzel, Fastnet Rock, Testa Rossa, Exceed And Excel and General Nediym.
Dam
COMBAT ORDER – The David Hayes trained Combat Order (pic below) was a speedy City-placed mare who won twice from four starts, including a victory as a 2yo. She is a half to Stakes winner and Gr1 placed Sebring Sun, who stands at stud. He also won at 2. This is her 2nd foal, her fist foal is unraced.
Trainer
Michael Freedman was part of the famed, “FBI” – Freedman Brothers Incorporated, the team who trained so many superstars in the 80’s right through to the early 2000’s. He branched out in his own right when granted a licence to train in Singapore. There he won 468 races at a strike rate of 15%, with his best galloper during that period was the two-time Singapore Horse of the Year – Super Easy.
After a brief stint in Hong Kong, Freedman returned to Australia, where his stable included Golden Slipper runner-up Frolic. In 2019, Michael teamed up with his brother Richard under the banner of Freedman Brothers. During that time, based at Randwick, Michael oversaw the training of Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside, three-time Group 1 winner Forbidden Love and Group/feature race winners, Tiger Of Malay, Glistening, Queen Of The Ball & Prime Star.
Michael looks forward to continuing to deliver a first-class thoroughbred training service for all future clients.
