Foum member "Vadim" has a share in this good looking colt Beckon, which won on debut yesterday at Echuca.Group 1 winner Headway gave early warning of Charge Forward's liking for mares by Flying Spur, and today her full brother repeated the message with a six-length debut win at Echuca.
Like his sister, 3YO colt Beckon was bred by Stuart Ramsey at Turangga Farm from Chatelaine, a three-time winner and twice Group-placed in Sydney. Trainer Peter Moody paid $500,000 at the 2010 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for Beckon who races in the colours made famous by Makybe Diva for Makybe Racing & Breeding Pty Ltd, Laurel Oak Light Brigade, Mr D M Puglisi, Eales Racing Pty Ltd, Mr A G Charlton, Mr J W Purchase and Mr B W Harry.
The Charge Forward/Flying Spur cross has now produced five winners from nine runners, including Headway and the Group 1-placed 2YO stakeswinner Fort Lincoln.
As a grandson of Roberto from a Bletchingly mare, Charge Forward offers a potent outcross for mares laden with Northern Dancer. And he's already the sire of ten stakes performers from 133 runners.
Good luck with him for the future mate..( gee that B.Harry can find a winner).
