Racing and BreedingMelbourne, Vic (March 18th, 2010) - Walking or Dancing, a five-year-old horse by Glenlogan Stud’s Falvelon won his eighth and most important race when successful in yesterday’s $140,000 Group 3 Newmarket Handicap at Newcastle in New South Wales.
Trained by Brett Partelle and ridden by Glen Boss, Walking or Dancing headed home Brilliant Light in the 1400m event with Emperor Bonaparte in third.
Walking or Dancing is one of six winners, from six to race, and another stakes performer for the grand producing and regally related Old Vic mare Young Vic. Along with Walking or Dancing she is the dam of stakes winner Irongail and the Group One runner-up Aim for Gold.
A filly from Irongail, by Stravinsky, was purchased by Adrian Nicoll from BBA Ireland for $520,000 during the second session of the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale earlier this year.
While another of Young Vic’s daughters, the unraced mare Youthful Presence, is the dam of the Sandown Guineas winner Kidnapped and fellow stakes winner Deledio.
Falvelon’s fee last spring was a reasonable $17,600 (inc gst), and, this season alone he has sired 59 individual winners with more than $2.2million in earnings.
