A Heroine Signals High Chaparral's Return

Friday, 15 August 2008: Unsung Heroine began racing less than a month ago, winning a competitive maiden race at Fairyhouse on her first appearance on a racetrack. She then took a quantum leap forward into Group company, making the transition smoothly, to win the Gr.3 Give Thanks Stakes at Cork by 2 lengths.

Trained by Tommy Stack, two further Group race options being considered for Unsung Heroine include England's oldest classic, The St Leger as well as the Park Hill Stakes for fillies, both races run at York in September.

High Chaparral has enjoyed an excellent start to his stud career and currently lies in the top five second-crop sires in Europe with 30 individual winners. His progeny also include Gr.1 performers Magadan and Beach Bunny as well as this seasons Italian 2000 Guineas winner Senlis.

High Chaparral, whose first-crop yearlings averaged $136,000 at the Karaka Premier sale this year, recently arrived back at Windsor Park Stud, his southern hemisphere base for the 2008 breeding season.
