It was a timely success by Tyne Cot with New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale of Two-Year-Olds on November 18 and 19 at Karaka with Breeze Up’s to be held at Te Rapa racecourse on October 19 and 20.

The Ready to Run Sale produced 19 stakes wins last season alone, the most of any comparable sale in Australasia, including four G1 wins, the only sale of its kind to produce a G1 winner in the season.

Tyne Cot was purchased by Kevin Myers at New Zealand Bloodstock’s 2010 Ready to Run Sale for $12,000 from Regal Farm.

The seven-year-old gelding has earned $126,400 since debuting as a three-year-old for owners E M Connors and C Connors.

A winner of six races from 17 starts, this was Tyne Cot’s first stakes win.

The son of Keeper finished an unlucky fourth in the 2013 Group 1 Easter Handicap, showing his potential before injuries slowed down his progress.

Trained by Neil Connors, Tyne Cot won fresh up this season in August at Hawke’s Bay before a fast finishing fifth placing at his last start, also at Hawke’s Bay.

Tyne Cot powered home in the final stages of the Matamata Cup to overhaul a brave Kindalecia to gain victory by a long head with Vincent Street (NZ) (Darci Brahma) finishing in third place.

Bred by Our Good Life Syndicate, Tyne Cot is out of the unraced mare Flanders Fields (Traditionally), a half-sister to the dam of stakes-winner Iffwedance (Iffraaj), winner of the Listed New Zealand St Leger.

He is from the same family as G1 winner Fun On The Run (Racing Is Fun), the dam of three-time G1 winner Tall Poppy (Kaapstad).

Other winning graduates of NZB’s Ready to Run Sale this weekend include Arraignment (Nom du Jeu), Hearts Keeper (Keeper) and War Pig (Sufficient) successful in Australia, Hong Kong and New Zealand.

Graduates were also successful over the weekend in Singapore with the likes of Bahana (Elusive City), Bring Money Home (Mr. Nancho), Keep Spinning (Keeper), Laser Storm ( (Lucky Owners), Rory (Rusty Spur), Sir Reginald (Red Giant) and Tip Of Borneo (Red Giant).

The Listed mile was run at a solid clip and saw the first two at the line well superior to the rest. Tyne Cot got a soft run the fence then eased off and was poised fourth turning for home before taking the length of the home straight to get up and score by a head in 1:34.36. It was the sixth win by the now 7yo visitor from just seventeen starts so he has had some issues over the years. This was his first stakes win or placing ever surprisingly today but the ability has always been there as a fourth in the G1 Easter Handicap of 2013 showed when beaten a length. Kindaleica was very brave in defeat and probably should have won all things being fair if pace-wise rated a tad more conservatively. He was wide in the lead for the first 600m before taking the front and being let run along only to be nabbed late. Vincent Street fought well for third albeit distant after being in or near the lead most of the way. Noble Warrior boxed on as he can in solidly run races for fourth while Classocoroc had that position sewn up until the post but for multiples bettors got pipped. Candle In The Wind ran on well late and looked a next upper only to find out she was lame in the off-fore leg. The next four home battled on okay with The Tidy Express the obvious improver of the quartet. The last four home saw three of them show no dash whatsoever and the other Dragonkeeper, stopped badly after sitting handy the outer. The overall time was four and a half lengths superior to any other mile event held on the day. Tyne Cot would have a better record with less health issues and did look well weighted in this and drawn, so the victory was expected. He won from the ace gate two runs prior so does like to sit then pounce. Kindaleica was super and has come a long way this season as fully mature and seems to be able to manage a broader range of track conditions now too. The improver next time out is The Tidy Express while her stablemate Delago’s Secret will not go as poorly next time out. Both are building up towards late spring and summer feature race targets.
