| There was no
surprise when the locally bred and owned gelding Gold Guru was unanimously chosen as
Australia’s Champion Three-Year-Old in 1998. During
his three-year-old season Gold Guru was nothing short of sensational. Wins in the
Australian Derby, Australian Guineas, Ranvet Stakes, AAMI Classic and AAMI Vase were all
basically a cakewalk for the star son of Geiger Counter.
Gold Guru went through the Adelaide Sales Complex as a
yearling and so will lot 186, also a colt, also by Geiger Counter and from a sister to
Proud Halo.
Proud Halo is of course the dam of Gold Guru as well as
Group One placed Glitzy Guru and recent city winner Gorgeous Guru. The latest addition to
the Proud Halo family is Gucci Guru – a daughter of Danehill her recent debut run was
full of merit.
The three quarter brother to Gold Guru, who was crowned as
South Australia’s Horse of the Year in 1998, is SABIS and VOBIS qualified, thus
giving connections the chance to race for thousands of extra dollars during his two and
three-year-old seasons on the track. |
