First for Rich Enuff
New winners
Rich Enuff – Woodside Park Stud resident Rich Enuff (Written Tycoon) got his first winner as a sire when Plutocrat (2 f ex Personal Guarantee by Danzero) showed plenty of promise to win on debut at Doomben yesterday. Rich Enuff won the Caulfield Guineas Prelude (Gr 3, 1400m) and was second to Shooting To Win (Northern Meteor) in the 2014 Caulfield Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) when trained by Ken Keys. He stood his first season at Glenlogan Park, near Beaudesert, in conjunction with Woodside Stud in Victoria. When Glenlogan elected to no longer retain sires, Rich Enuff went back to Woodside Park where he now stands for a fee of $12,100 (inc GST). Glenlogan Park kept an interest in some of his offspring, including Plutocrat, who studmaster John Haesler sent to trainer Chris Anderson. Plutocrat came from an outside barrier to win a two-year-old race over 1110 metres. “It is great Plutocrat is Rich Enuff’s first winner and I am really happy for Woodside and Glenlogan,” Anderson said. “Plutocrat might be something special as not many horses win from outside barriers from that start.” Plutocrat is a QTIS horse and Anderson has the option to chase the $500,000 Two-Year-Old The Jewel (1200m) at the Gold Coast on March 14.
