TWO of the recent Grade 1 winning two-year-olds in the USA, Gaming and Chancer McPatrick, provided hugely significant victories for their respective sires, Game Winner (Candy Ride) and McKinzie (Street Sense).

Both colts are from the first crop by their sires, and both are their sole stakes winners to date. Indeed, Gaming is one of just a pair of winners in the first crop of his Lane’s End-based sire, and was a much-needed boost as the stallion’s two winners come from no fewer than 30 runners at the time of writing.
