WATTO'S RACER
Twenty six years ago, three broodmares were advertised in the Weekly Times. There had been a very bad drought in N.S.W. and all the studs were forced to reduce their numbers in a drought sale.
The Knackery Agent bought most of them, but because these three mares were in foal, he put them in a holding paddock in Winchelsea.
Two were for sale for four hundred dollars each, and the other one for six hundred dollars. As this was going to be the owner's first venture into breeding they read up all about the sires.
The owners decided to buy the six hundred dollar mare as she was by Raimondo, a leading sire of broodmares. Her name was Celebrating, and she was in foal to Dansieur E"Toile who was by Lyphard by Northern Dancer. Celebrating had a previous foal to Australasia.
When contacting her previous owner and they were told they had a high opinion of her. She had a lot of ability but was a nervous type who could not keep racing condition. She had a trial at Randwick and finished third. Her foal was a colt which we named Cafe E"toile.
Celebrating was then sent to Leo Dwyer"s Stud to be served by his stallion Indentation. Leo is still the Clerk of Course at Warrnambool. She had a colt and which the owner's named Cabaret Magic. She was then sent back to Indentation and she had a filly . This was Celemondo, the mother of Watto"s Racer. She won four races and had several placings.
When finished racing Celemondo was sent to Racers Edge who stands at Chatswood Stud and she produced Watto"s Racer.
At the moment she has a two year old filly {unraced } by King De Lago in the paddock.
Watto"s Racer is named after family member "Peter Watson", who everyone knew as Watto. Sadly he passed away before seeing his namesake race.
Watto"s Racer had his first start for Patrick Ryan for a fourth at Hamilton. He went for a spell and came back to win at the Warrnambool's May carnival in 2009. Patrick Ryan then relocated to Queensland and Watto"s Racer joined Bill and Symon Wilde's stable.
He has had eight starts for Wilde Racing for three firsts, a second and two thirds including a third in Melbourne on 10 February 2010. Watto's Racer has given connections a lot of joy and excitement in the process.
