Bush Aviator Wins Elwick Stakes

Monday, 6th February 2012

Gr1 Golden Slipper-winning Widden Stud stallion & former Australian Champion 1st-Season Sire Stratum (Redoute's Choice-Bourgeois, by Luskin Star) added a juvenile black-type success (& 10th individual stakes-winner) when favoured colt Bush Aviator (Stratum-Sister Patricia, by Geiger Counter) scored a 2.25-lengths victory in last night's $100,000 Listed Elwick Stakes (1100m) for 2YOs at Hobart. Debutant Bush Aviator (ridden by Jamie Mott for trainer Danny O'Brien) defeated the geldings Testa Gee Gee (Testa Rossa-Gaelic Princess, by King Of Kings) & Western Hero (West Quest-Horkins Nancy, by Made Of Gold). Bush Aviator (a $140,000 yearling consigned by Widden Stud at the 2011 Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale) earned $60,000 for his initial victory.
