Mee Making a Mark in Queensland
Pinhook Bloodstock bookended another winning week for FBAA members with Realing at Eagle Farm on Saturday.
Realing (Real Saga) was a $46,000 buy for Pinhook’s Dave Mee and owner David Giesemann at the 2015 Magic Millions QTIS Sale and paid $11.90 for a narrow victory in the Makers Mark 3yo Hcp (1600m). He had won a Doomben maiden like a horse looking for a mile on November 23.
Mee, who is in Hong Kong for International Day, had struck with French Jet at Ipswich on Wednesday. The Tony Sears trained gelding will be set for the $2 million Magic Millions Guineas at the Gold Coast on January 14.
“That was a handy field – some of the beaten runners are highly-regarded by their trainers,” Sears said. “And I’ve got an opinion of mine, especially as he matures.”
French Jet (Jet Spur) cost $56,000 at the 2015 Magic Millions QTIS Sale when targeted by Mee and owner Dave Giesemann Federation of Bloodstock Agents Australia (FBAA) was formed in 1998 to maintain, improve and develop the standards, status and services of bloodstock agents throughout Australia.
