Very interested to hear any comments on how the first crop of Sportswriter yearlings have broken in and are progressing

Saw a cracking Sportswriter colt at Riverstone last week.
Dave MacGill (sp?) has him, his wife was actually driving the horse in trackwork, Dave was driving another young one. Sportswriter colt was a ball tearer, a very good type & absolutely GREAT gaited. Worked well, very willing.
Shadow Plays early figures... 20 starters.. 16 winners..5 in 1.55 (2 from Artsplace mares)
I have broken in two Sportswriters at home, seen two where I work. Interestingly all fillies.
All four are excellent types, very athletic in appearance, and have a very attractive way of moving. One out at work has a stride length that is phenomenal. I have even told a few people that it may be an early call but I really like the Sportswriters and that he may be one of the better sires about.
Warning: Horses are expensive, addictive, and may impair the ability to use common sense.
Shadow Play got another ONSS 2yo filly winner yesterday @ Georgian Downs, Lady Shadow (from a Camluck mare) She won by 2 & a half in 1:56.3.

Another feature winner tonight for artistic fella with kimba bay taking out the 100k westbred classic @ gp.
If I am not mistaken Lisa that's 3 x 2yo Group race winners from Artistic Fella's first crop of 80 foals. I think he is also due for another big race win tonight with Mindarie Priddy going in a heavy fav. Accordingly, old mate Viv appears to have ducked for cover...promised great pic of Auckland Reactor and all. Hmmmmmm. Inquiring minds want to know. Ground Control to Viv....come in Viv.
