Following three consecutive Group 1 seconds, talented middle distance performer Black Piranha is on target to break his Group 1 'duck' in the $1m Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm on June 6. Black Piranha has firmed to 7.00 equal third favourite for the Stradbroke with TAB Sportsbet following his slashing Doomben 10,000 second behind Apache Cat on Saturday.
Prior to the Doomben 10,000, Black Piranha was runner up in both the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) and the Group 1 AJC Doncaster Handicap (1600m). The Con Karakatsanis gelding drops 5.5kg on his Doomben 10,000 second, and looks well weighted to record a deserving Group 1 victory in the Stradbroke. A Stradbroke win by Black Piranha would most likely catapult his sire Clang to the top of this seasons Queensland Sire Earnings list, ahead of rivals Show A Heart and Sequalo.
Standing at Willowbend Stud, Beaudesert, Clang has produced 62 individual winners in Australia this season for prizemoney earnings in excess of $2.35m. Clang is already the sire of two Group 1 winners in Calaway Gal (Golden Slipper Stakes) and Clangalang (AJC Derby & Epsom Hcp).
