First Arrivals By Northern Meteor
Tuesday, 10 August 2010: Northern Meteor was the busiest first season sire last spring covering 198 mares at Widden Stud.
The Group One winning son of Encosta de Lago is one of three young Widden sires whose first foals are arriving this spring, joining Golden Slipper winner Sebring and champion US juvenile War Pass.
His first foal is a filly bred by Ray and Mariliyn Willis of Rheinwood Pastoral in the Southern Highlands.
Foaled on August 5, she is the third living foal of well bred Perugino mare Comedy Club, a half-sister to stakes-winner Bleveeka from the family of Blue Diamond Stakes winner Reward for Effort.
Comedy Club had General Nediym foal last year but unfortunately broke a leg in an accident during a storm and had to be put down.
Comedy Club has had one foal to the races in Club Ha Ha, who won at Seymour earlier this year and has an unnamed two year-old filly by Ferocity.
Comedy Club is going back to Widden Stud to new stallion Nicconi.
Another young Widden stallion Stratum is the sire of the Rheinwood bred three year-old Gig Guide, who won easily at Geelong last Friday for the Mark Kavanagh stable.
