Guest 2Admin2 Report post Posted August 16, 2016 JJ Atkins Winners Press Statement 2015 - $1.8m in stakes - last season never further back than 5th in Group races. In the first 3 in 6. Won the Caufield Guineas G1 and Stan Fox Stakes G2. Amalad 2014 - $600k in stakes - won one G2 the season following the Atkins. Romantic Touch 2013 - $10.7m in stakes (HK dollars I think) Sizzling 2012 - $1.3m - won the Queensland Guineas Benfica - 2011 - didn't do much after the Atkins win. Now at stud. Pressday 2010 - more than useful (close relation of Press Statement). Linky Dink 2009 - not much. Rockdale 2008 - not much but $700k in stakes.

Midget 4,489 Report post Posted August 16, 2016 Apart from Press Statement I could have asked 99% of Cafers and they wouldn't know anything about those horses. I doubt you'd say the same about the last ten winners of the Diamond. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
