Promising 3YO seals deal at Seymour

Seindeel was confidently tipped to break his maiden at Seymour and the three-year-old son of Dundeel had no trouble living up to expectations.

The Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained representative had finished an encouraging fourth on debut at Moe earlier this month and the step up to 1300 metres allowed him to show his true colours.

Indeed, itwas our silks that were carried to victory by rider Daniel Moor who gave thefavourite Seindeel a perfect ride from an inside barrier.

“He’s ahorse who’s got a lot of ability and he just over-raced in his first start, so we put the cross-over nose band on,” stable representative Matt Rupe said.

“We wantedto be more positive this time, he doesn’t like being in among horses.

“It was good to get the maiden out of the way, we’ll see how he comes through the race as to whether we tip him out or give him one more.”

Seindeel jumped well to settle in third spot away from the fence before surging to the front200 metres from home to have the race in the bag.

“They have done an amazing job with him, he didn’t really handle the occasion that well at Moe so to come here and win was great,” Moor said.

“He’s a talented horse and he’ll improve significantly.”

Seindeel was purchased out of breeder Inglewood Stud’s draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale for $150,000 by Anthony Freedman Racing and Julian Blaxland Bloodstock.

We are involved in the ownership group which also includes Inglewood’s Gus and Bianca Wigley, Freedman and partners.

He is out of the Domesday mare Giggly, a half-sister to Group winners Crack Me Up and Hoofit.
