Full Speed was a versatile horse and was at one time,
rated the best miler in the country. He reeled off a
number of wins before claiming the Mysore Derby and
then winning the Guineas in Bangalore in taking style,
beating the likes of Berlioz, since racing in Dubai
and Elite Zone, winner of Gr 1 Golconda Derby and Gr 1
Deccan Derby. Though Full Speed was campaigned over
longer trips that were beyond his compass and his
sharpness was blunted. Full Sped even had the honour
of being invited to race during the Dubai Racing
Carnival.
Speedy Beauty who was the dam of Full Speed, raced a
few times at three but her contribution was at the
paddock. Apart from Full Speed, Speed Beauty also
foaled multiple race winners like Space Craft
(Tejano), San Carios (Bold Russian). Her two other
foals, Soviet Run (Bold Russian) and Arroganto
(Tejano) also recorded one win at three. In all, she
had five foals in India, which incidentally were all
winners. Unfortunately, she did not foal any filly
that could have continued her legacy at the stud farm.
Speedy Beauty (GB), b 1989, was by Rousillon out of
Rye Tops, by Ille de Bourbon out of Topsy, by Habitat,
out of Furioso, by Ballymoss. |
