Impressive record
Music Teacher has swelled the ranks of stallions sold from New Zealand to Australian studs in the last few years.
This son of Bold Ruler will stand in Victoria next season.
Representatives of his second crop were sold at the national sale of yearlings at Trentham in January.
In his first season in New Zealand Music Teacher covered the high class sprinter Ajasco, winner-of The Stewards at Riccarton and the Auckland Railway Handicap at successive starts. The result of that union was a filly, yet unraced as a two-year-old, but named Concert.
Although unraced this youngster must have shown something.
“My trainer, Eric Ropiha, tells me she will be down your way to win The Stewards at Riccarton next November,” the filly’s owner, Mr Arthur Fell, told a party of South Islanders who visited Fairdale Stud near Palmerston North last Friday.
Mr Fell’s speedster, Silver Liner, repeated the feat of her dam, Ajasco, in winning The Stewards and the Railway Handicap this season. The day Silver Liner won the Railway Handicap, Harp, in the same ownership and from the same stable, missed victory by inches in the $lOO,OOO Auckland Cup.
