The Te Akau powerhouse added to its tally of winners by our resident sire Embellish with success at the Phar Lap Raceway.

His first-crop son Beau Brummell was untouched to claim victory over 1600 metres for trainers Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson and rider Warren Kennedy.Te Akau chief David Ellis purchased the G1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas winner Embellish as a yearling at Karaka for $775,000 and continues to enjoy success with his progeny.

“He’s made a great start to his stallion career with winners in New Zealand and Australia and this bloke (Beau Brummell) joins some really nice winners we’ve had by him in the stable,” Ellis said.

“Talisker recorded a hat-trick of wins before finishing second in the G1 2000 Guineas and What You Wish For, Glitzy Glory and Plenty O’ Style are other promising winners by Embellish that we’ve got,” he said.

“His oldest are only three-year-olds and I think he’s doing a great job at stud.”

Out of the Pentire mare Fashion Forward, Beau Brummell has now won three of his six starts and finished fourth in the Listed Southland Guineas off the back of his maiden victory.

Ellis and wife Karyn Fenton-Ellis bred Beau Brummell and races him with Waikato Thoroughbred Racing board of directors Glenn Holmes and wife Cathie.

The gelding purred along in the trail before he was angled into the clear at the top of the straight and was in a league of his own in the run home, coasting clear by 2.3l.

Well-related three-year-old Manzor Magic displayed his staying potential when he downed his older middle-distance rivals at Pinjara.Congratulations to Peter Morley’s Western Australian-based syndication company Belhus Racing Stables, who purchased our homebred son of Almanzor at Karaka in 2022.Manzor Magic was part of our draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Weanling Sale at Karaka and sold for $30,000.He subsequently failed to meet his reserve when reoffered as a yearling, but showed he had a bright future when he capped off a consistent run of form with victory for trainers Grant and Alana Williams.The gelding came from the tail of the field for a comfortable win at the end of 2000 metres under jockey Chris Parnham. Manzor Magic is out of the winning Zabeel mare Sunset Magic, who is in foal to Sword Of State, and she is from the family of six-time Group 1 winner and former Australian Horse of the Year.

Youth overcame experience at Waverley where Embellish’s son Phats posted the first winning strike of his career.The Chrissy Bambry-trained three-year-old had put the writing on the wall when a solid third at Wanganui at his previous outing and he showed pleasing improvement to put away his highweight rivals with ease.

Rider Shaun Fannin tucked him behind the pace on the fence and overcame a bump in the home straight to streak clear under 68.5kg to score by six and a-half lengths at the end of 1650 metres.Phats was bred by Tony Bambry, who races the gelding with his family, and Luca and Simon Luoni and is the fourth winner for the City On A Hill mare Blueberry Hill.

She is a half-sister to the Listed Wanganui Guineas winners Alcaldesa and Lord Turbo, who also won four times in Hong Kong as Little Dragon.
