Caminetto (AUS)

With the theory that a Great sire is an influential broodmare sire, we were keen to add a Fastnet Rock mare to our breeding barn.

By Fastnet Rock and a winner over the mile, 6 year old Caminetto has joined PT Thoroughbreds with a colt foal at foot by Scintillo (multiple Group 1, 2 & 3 winner & the highest rated son of Fantastic Light standing at stud). 

Fastnet Rock has been Champion Australian Sire twice, having won the Lightning Stakes (Gr1) & Oakleigh Plate (Gr1) in addition to 2x Gr2's and 2x Gr3's wins; his progeny win at the impressive rate of 67% winners from runner and over 12% of those winners performing at Stakes Level.

Mares by Fastnet Rock include Atlantic Jewel, Sea Siren, Planet Rock, Mosheen, Driefontein and First Seal just to name a few....

Yearling

Bred by Widden Stud - the same breeder as our 2 year old filly Soudi (Star Witness x Dasoudi), Caminetto was presented for sale at the 2012 Magic Millions sale on the Gold Coast and purchased by Mark Kavanah for $240,000.

Race Career 10:1-1-0

2nd in her 1st start at Ballarat in Feb 2013, it was not until Caminetto went to the stables of mother and daughter training partnership Lyn Tolson and Leonie Proctor that Caminetto broke her maiden status at her 7th career start at Kilmore over 1607m on 29th September 2014.

At her 10th start on 2nd November 2014, Caminetto was pulled from the race by jockey Michael Walker who felt something had gone amiss & it had. She was retired to stud and the cover by Scintillo produced a brown filly on 1 December 2015.

We could see why Ridgeview Park returned Caminetto to Scintillo, given the quality and movement of the bay colt, foaled 27th November 2016.

Caminetto will have a rest until July 2017 when she will take her place under lights with Aultone and Bleach to prepare for the 2017 breeding season.
