Newgate Farm’s Sizzling is ticking over nicely towards the end of the season adding a seventh winner to his tally on Sunday.
It took the Neil Godbolt-trained Just Sizzling six trips to the races to shed his maiden status at Coffs Harbour, but it looked bleak when he saw the majority of the 13 starters ahead of him with three hundred metres left to run.
Terry Treichel weaved a passage between runners on Just Sizzling who overpowered his rivals to win by a neck.
A homebred for the Harris family’s Holbrook Thoroughbreds, Just Sizzling is a half-brother to the recent South Grafton Cup winner Cogliere.
Just Sizzling is the third winner from four to race out of the Delago Brom mare Final Star, a half-sister to stakes-placed Palace Music mare Palace Glow, the dam of Group III winner and Group I South Australia Derby runner-up Red Colossus and dual Group III winner Nediym’s Glow.
Currently third on the first season sires list on earnings, Sizzling has four stakes-placed juveniles while his tally of seven winners is bettered only by Spirit Of Boom and Zoustar.
The Group I winning son of Snitzel stands for a fee of $16,500 at Newgate Farm this spring.
