Coolmore Australia sire Adelaide sired his first winner yesterday when Funstar scored an emphatic win in the All Too Hard at Vinery Maiden Handicap (1250m) at Canterbury.
The Chris Waller-trained juvenile justified favouritism when scooting 3-1/4 lengths clear of Tawaret in second, with a further length and a quarter back to Classic Gaming in third.
A four-time winner on the track, including the Group 1 Secretariat Stakes (10f) at Arlington Park and the Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) on his penultimate outing, Adelaide will stand for an unchanged fee of $A11,000 this season having covered 102 mares at that cost in 2018.
