Foxwedge added another smart winner to his tally with a debut victory for promising gelding Mulder at Gawler on Wednesday.
Trained by Michael Hickmott, Mulder forged clear to win the 1111 metre maiden by half a length, despite not being comfortable in the slow conditions.
Bred by Bowness Stud, Mulder is the second foal of Isn’t She Fabulous, a half-sister by Fusaichi Pegasus to Group I winner Pear Tart.
He is the sixth winner (four in Australia, two in New Zealand) from the first Southern Hemisphere bred crop of foals by Foxwedge, who also has two winners in the Northern Hemisphere including highly impressive Belmont winner Star Empire in the US.
A Group I winning son of Fastnet Rock, Foxwedge stands at Newgate Farm at a fee of $22,000 this spring.
