Joyful June For Lomar Park

Tuesday, 27 June 2006: Fred Peisah's Lomar Park Stud at Camden has had a joyful June as far as input into racing results is concerned.

Lomar Park contributed to the breeding of Takeover Target, the rags to riches Australian sprinter while there have been many good performances from the progeny of the stud's resident Danehill sire Arena.

Lomar Park gets into the Takeover Target picture as the breeding ground of his dam Shady Stream, a daughter of one of the stud's former successful sire Archregent.

Her dam Merry Shade, a Spectacular Spy stakes winner, was bred by the late Dan Buffier of the Wingarra Stud in the Bylong Valley from Parasol, a Sostenuto mare who did not win but who produced nine winners.

She was owned for a time by Tiger Holland, the trainer and part owner with Betty Lane of Athelnoth, a good class sprinter who was successful at Randwick on Saturday.

Lomar Park also had an input into the breeding of new sprint star Natural Destiny, the winner of Saturday's G3 W.J. Healy Stakes at Eagle Farm.

Like Takeover Target, he is from a mare by Archregent.

Another success was the second successive Sydney win by the three-year-old Impatient Star, a Lomar Park bred gelding by resident Danehill sire Arena.

Impatient Star has now won four Sydney races and could be an Epsom Handicap hope in the spring.

His Randwick victory gave Arena a second Sydney winner in a week as his two-year-old daughter Rena's Lady broke through at Warwick Farm.

Impatient Star and Rena's Lady contributed to a treble of Arena metropolitan winners in less than a fortnight as another of his three-year-olds, the Woodlands Stud bred and raced filly Creole won at Doomben on June 14.

She is from a Yeats mare bred by Woodlands but disposed of after she produced the foal who was to become Creole.

Arena has now had 40 winners of 60 races of $1.7million for 2005-06 with the top performer being the Lomar Park bred G1 winner Regal Cheer.

Also a daughter of an Archregent mare, Regal Cheer has won seven races, including the G1 Coolmore Classic and G1 Surround Stakes.

A brilliant middle distance performer whose six wins included the Victoria Derby, Canterbury Guineas, Hobartville Stakes, Hill Stakes and Gloaming Stakes, Arena is a Danehill sire whose progeny should keep doing well as five and six-year-olds and who can be expected to supply good performers at all distances.
