Monday, 4 February 2019: Bel Esprit gelding Antah continued his winning run with his fifth successive win at Caulfield on Saturday, spread over more than two years.

Antah

The long winning timeline began when he posted a double in Tasmania back in June of 2016 before a long break from racing.
Antah  resumed from an injury enforced layoff in November of 2018 with a win at Pakenham and made it a double at the same course in January before registering his fifth straight win overt 1600m at Caulfield.
In total the Jason Warren-trained Antah has raced 12 times for six wins, three placings and just under $150,000 in stakes.
The gelding was sold at the 2014 Melbourne Premier Sale for $45,000 with his breeder Karl Thomas remaining in the ownership of the talented six-year-old.
Sun Stud’s sire Bel Esprit has recorded 60 individual winners this season for earnings of more than $NZ3.2 million.
The Sun Stud stallion roster had a triple success at Moonee Valley on Friday night with wins by the progeny of Magnus, Fighting Sun and Moshe.
Trainer Robbie Griffiths’ saddled up impressive two-year-old winner Magnicity  (Magnus x A City Girl by Exceed And Excel), a $70,000 yearling purchase for Griffiths and CB Bloodstock.
She was offered by Edinburgh Park, who pinhooked her for $40,000 at the 2017 Great Southern Weanling Sale.
Magnicity is a three-quarter sister to Listed winner Missy Cummings (Magnus) and is the third foal and first winner out of the 4-time winner A City Girl, a daughter of the triple Listed winner Lady Knockout (Serheed).
Griffiths believes he has trained at least 17 winners by Magnus.
Fighting Sun 3YO Kashiwa recorded a maiden victory for the Chris Waller stable over 1200m, beating the Magnus 3YO Duke Of Magnus.
Kashiwa  (Fighting Sun x Coolroom Candidate by Mister C) was a $150,000 Melbourne Premier purchase by Star Thoroughbreds.
Coolroom Candidate has since produced a 2YO filly and a colt foal by Fighting Sun.
Moshe’s promising 4YO mare Mosh Music rounded out the Sun Stud trifecta of wins.
Mosh Music , raced by her breeder Greg Baker, has won three of her five career starts.
New Zealand bred horses won four races on the nine-race card at Caulfield on Saturday.
The in-form Mystyko (Sakhee’s Secret) notched his third consecutive win followed by Naantali (Rip Van Winkle) leading home a Kiwi quinella when she beat Ocean Deep (Ocean Park) in the John Moule Handicap (1400m).
Lamborghini  (Shinko King) won the Ladbrokes Handicap (2000m) while the promising Heptagon (Jimmy Choux rounded out the quartet in the last race of the day.
The Trevor Rogers-trained Mystiko  (Sakhee’s Secret x Plan The Peace by I Conquer) may now tackle the G1 Newmarket Handicap after the sprinter completed his hat-trick of wins.
"Trevor's done an amazing job with his planning and strategies in him giving him six months off," said breeder and part-owner Richard Anderson.
"We think he's got Group 1 potential at some point, but he's still 12 months away from being at his top."
Naantali  was part of a winning treble for the Ciaron Maher/David Eustace stable.
The Mick Price-trained Heptagon  has six career victories to his credit. He is a full brother to the top priced yearling of last week’s NZ Bloodstock Book 2 sale at Karaka sold for $190,000 to RT Racing.
