Galactic Destiny’s third litter timing was just right

The whelping of Galactic Destiny’s third litter last week of three dogs and two bitches by Tommy Shelby worked out pretty well as far as Worrolong breeder Steve Bartholomew was concerned.

A few days after the whelping, the Lee Bartholomew trained Dug’s Sister – by Ando’s Mac and from Galactic Destiny’s second litter – led all the way at Tara Raceway in the Cadillac Racing TG1-4W Stake (400 m) when defeating Rough Girl Slim in a personal best time of 23.19 seconds.

Dug’s Sister (No. 4) defeats Rough Girl Slim at Tara Raceway last week.

And following up at Sunday’s meeting was the Elysia Bartholomew trained Devilish Child in the Trackside Pet Meats Pick 6 Stake (400 m). Settling in third spot, the white and black bitch finished strongly down the middle of the track for a neck win over Wild Milly in 23.65 seconds.

By Blue Moon Rising, Devilish Child is out of Galactic Destiny’s first litter and has now won 10 races at Mount Gambier and Murray Bridge. And litter brother Divine Nature is a 12-race winner at Mount Gambier, Murray Bridge, Warrnambool, Geelong and Sandown Park.

Another member of the Blue Moon Rising litter is Unique Destiny, who has won nine races at Bendigo, Ballarat, Healesville, Geelong, Warrnambool and Horsham.

Six-race Mount Gambier winner Galactic Destiny is a daughter of Paddy Whacker and Galactic Rumball and a litter sister to Galactic Athena, winner of the 2019 Mount Gambier Cup.

Tommy Shelby, a three-time Group 1 winning son of Fernando Bale and a winner of more than $1 million in prize money, includes among his wins the Australian Cup, Golden Easter Egg and Hobart 1000.
