Multiple Group winner Revolutionary Miss starred during a notable 24 hours of action for Sledmere Stud sales graduates when claiming the Group 3 Summoned Stakes (1600m) on the Zipping Classic program at Caulfield.
A Group 2 winner and Group 1 placegetter both at two- and three-years of age, Revolutionary Miss added to her formidable record when recording back-to-back wins in the space of seven days. The first-crop daughter of Russian Revolution had also scored over 1400 metres at Cranbourne a week beforehand.
Trained by Peter & Paul Snowden on behalf of a Triple Crown Syndications ownership group, Revolutionary Miss took her career earnings to $1,214,365 following four wins and five seconds from 20 starts. She was purchased out of our 2021 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale draft for $195,000.
Triple Crown Syndications principal Chris Ward told The Thoroughbred Report after her latest stakes race win: “Revolutionary Miss has been outstanding. She’s a mare now, but from the word go, she’s shown talent.
“She debuted at Randwick-Kensington and was very close to getting up to the Magic Millions for the 2-year-old race. In fact, she was an emergency for that race. So, Revolutionary Miss had abundant talent from the moment she got going, and it’s fantastic to see her still going so strong as a 4-year-old mare.”
Ward also stated in the same interview: “Revolutionary Miss, she stood out from the moment we saw her. We actually first saw her at Sledmere, starting at the pre-sale inspections on the farm. When she was presented to my brother [Michael] and I, we just fell in love the moment we saw her.
“When we went to the Gold Coast, we pinpointed and were pretty determined to get her. We were lucky and rapt to have done so…”
The Summoned Stakes victory of Revolutionary Miss was the highlight of a big 24 hours for Sledmere Stud sales graduates.
Firstly, on the Friday evening programs staged at Randwick-Kensington and Moonee Valley, Tympanist (NZ) posted his fifth career win and The Genius his third respectively. Then on the same Saturday afternoon as Revolutionary Miss featured, Sledmere Stud sales graduates Arkansaw Kid and Meritable both placed in black-type company, the former finishing runner-up in the Group 2 Sandown Guineas in Melbourne and the latter second in the Listed Starlight Stakes in Sydney.
All consigned and sold by Sledmere Stud as either weanlings or yearlings, this handful of graduates rewarded five different sets of training outfits — Peter & Paul Snowden (Revolutionary Miss), David Payne (Tympanist), Danny O’Brien (The Genius), Ben, Will & JD Hayes (Arkansaw Kid) and Mark Minervini (Meritable) — and their many connections, which gave us as much satisfaction as being put in the spotlight just as we are preparing our initial yearling sale draft of 2024.
The fact that these collective results were shared by so many, so far and wide, gave everyone associated with Sledmere Stud a real buzz and made us all even more enthusiastic for what’s in store at the 2024 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and the upcoming bloodstock sales series as a whole.
