Track King Nuts – Season 40 Award Winners

The outstanding runner from the Dopey Donkey Digs stable namely Beowulf was named the TK Nuts Two-Year of the season.
Beowulf ran up three wins from three starts this year, making her career debut in a Matto Grosso maiden on August 18.
It was her last start in the final of the Sires Produce that earned the bay lass the award over Kumbaya and Secret Brainteaser.

Trained by Woogle Wood, bred by lighweight and ridden on all her starts by Willy Vlautin, Thistledown won four of her five races with the final four coming in great style at cup level.
The daughter of Ghabriella beat her own generation with stunning victories in the Epsom Derby at London Bridge in July and Grand Prix de Paris at Great Himalayan in September.

The four-year- old Bigger Rolly, trained and bred by Manor Park Stud, really blossomed during season 40 and was expertly placed by the trainer to take world cup events in Australia and Africa.
The son of Kingsman quickly established himself as a colt of rare quality. He landed the Lowe Guineas early in the season and followed that up in September with an excellent win in the Jewel of the Mile.

Captain’s Secret, trained by St Simon Racing is the TK Nuts Five-Year-Old for season 40.
She landed the Lowe Cup and then followed that up by taking the Aussie Clothing Down Under Long.
The other nominees in the category were Addie Over Angel, Addie Over Ped, Bodrum and Epic Muddy Hanover.

Dixon Racing also enjoyed success in the TK Nuts Six-Year- Old category with Secret Legacy.
The Secret Aurora stallion won five races headlined by the Platinum Plate in Australia in August and then following it up with an enterprising win in the Golden Eights in September.
Secret Legacy saw off opposition from Bitez, Captain’s Flicka, Dasher, New Terrain and Wester Rintin for the award.

Starship Miss proved herself a prodigious talent this season, winning on four of her six outings, culminating in the Alliance sponsored Princess Tiara Cup at Rocky Mountain against much older opposition and she is the season TK Nuts Seven-Year-Old winner.

She is an excellent winner of the Award and overcame opposition from Dante’s Assassin, Lump Of Ice, Monsun and Nyquist.

She made her seasonal cup debut in the Classic Cup over twelve furlongs on Aug 26. Starting the 1.11 favourite, she travelled well and powered home for a comfortable win.
The last Saturday in September saw her contesting the Melbourne Cup at Sydney Harbour Racecourse. She again proved her class with an ultimately very comfortable victory over Joe Rook.

Trained by Manor Park Stud, Patrobas was named TK Nuts Horse of the Season, as well as picking up the nine-year- old award.
Patrobas takes the award following his brilliant success in Track King’s most prestigious race, the Track King Masters. The nine- year-old smashed the 3000m world course record over dead ground.
It was just reward for a wonderful campaign that was defined by consistency and durability at the highest level.
The stallion’s resilience was underlined, when in the space of the next four weeks, he won the Classic Cup, Track King Open and was runner up to Poseidon over unsuitable ground in the GnuMAD Cup.
Patrobas has the requisite blend of speed and stamina for championship competition.
Patrobas is a worthy winner of the award and is testament to superb handling.

The 40 time winner Apollo Kingz finally rewarded his trainer with a World Cup when winning the American Cup in powerful fashion. The sprint / short racer is now #1 on the top earning list and is deservedly the 10-year-old of the season.
