Sheer Bravado, the sire of several winners, has been leased by Phyllis Sinclair, of the Glenlee stud, Lawrence. Sheer Bravado is on his way south from the Progressive Farms stud, Karaka.

His progeny include Teasing, who won at Ellerslie and Dargaville as a two-year-old in the 1986-87 season and finished third to Injustice and Jennifer Rush in the Group Three Evergreen Stakes at Trentham.

The oldest progeny of Sheer Bravado are five-year-olds. He was a two-year-old winner in 57.7 for 1000 m in Adelaide. An Austra-lian-bred son of Brave Lad and Good Morning, he is a three-quarter brother to champion two-year-old Rancher, the sire of Rancho , Ruler (Mari-

Sheer Bravado, who has been leased from Allegra Corporation, will stand at a fee of $950. Rejoined stable The speedy Lara Pinta rejoined the Wingatui stable of Mick Didham a fortnight ago after being spelled to recover from a virus. She won at Wingatui in September in her second start as a three-year-old, but did not show the same dash in seven further races although placed in five. She has three wins and two seconds in six starts at two. Her sister, Palm Bearer, a winner as a three-year-old from the Didham stable before she was forced into retirement with a pulled Achilles tendon, will be mated with Tristram’s Monarch this season. She failed to conceive to Crested Wave last spring.
