Matamata: G3 Bonecrusher S., NZ$90,000, 1400m
Dark Destroyer (NZ) (Proisir) looked nicely placed down in class off a good run in the G1 NZ 2000 Guineas and he justified favouritism with a determined victory, his first in stakes company.
Bred by WE Jeffries Ltd and passed in at the 2020 New Zealand Bloodstock Yearling Sale (Book 2), he is stakes winner number seven for Rich Hill’s G3 Spring S. winner Proisir (Choisir).
He is the first named foal for the lightly raced All Can Party (All American), half-sister to the metropolitan winner Exclusive Choice (Redoute’s Choice) out of a daughter of the multiple city winner Party (Lunchtime {GB}) who did a great job at stud with her nine winners including the Group 1 sprinters Masked Party (Marscay) and Festal (Vain).
Party’s daughter La Bamba (Last Tycoon {Ire}) has also done a great job at stud with her 10 winners including the G1 Hong Kong Sprint winner Inspiration (Flying Spur), the G1 Australian Guineas winner Wandjina (Snitzel) and the Listed winners Lucky Unicorn (Redoute’s Choice) and Provence (Redoute’s Choice) - in turn dam of the stakes winners My Admiration (Encosta De Lago) and Banaadeer (More Than Ready {USA}).
Party is also ancestress of the G1 Spring Champion S. winner Complacent (Authorized {Ire}), the triple Group 1 winner Dracula (Quest For Fame {GB}) and the G1 New Zealand Oaks heroine Miss Sentimental (NZ) (Reliable Man {GB}).
Not served last spring with her previous foal dying, All Can Party has a 2-year-old full brother to Dark Destroyer, a yet to be named colt purchased by Kaipira Lodge for NZ$180,000 from Book 2 at this year’s New Zealand Bloodstock Yearling Sale.
