The best of his 401 live foals to date has been Epsom dead-heater. Spill The Beans stood at stud for just four seasons before passing away aged seven in 2019. The trio make up three of the limited number of offspring of Spill The Beans whose five wins (from 11 starts) included the Group 2 BRC QTC Cup, Eskimo Prince and Hawkesbury Guineas in 2016. “She has been a bit like the other two, they’re knocking on the door and one day it will happen.”Ĭoincidentally - or not - all three of Shelton’s Lismore runners on Friday are paternal half-siblings. “She will sit up the speed somewhere and hopefully she can into prizemoney. Her last two runs have been 1700m and she just tended to whittle out of it late so I just brought her back to the 1500m,” Shelton explained. “She can get a mile but I just don’t think she can get much further than that. They keep a straight line there for quite a while.”Īs for Enterprise Fuse, she has a far more favourable barrier and is well served coming back in trip. “He has drawn wide but it’s not a bad run at Lismore from the 1500m.

“He’s not a superstar but is a pretty honest little fellow. “He’ll put himself up there and with a couple of kilos off his back, he’ll stick on.
