📣 QUIET ACHIEVER FOR THE JET

What a job Quaker Jet Fra gelding Night Whisperer has done.

Among the early foals bred by Yabby Dam Farms set up at Cardigan in Victoria, the now nine-year-old had been a genuine bread and butter campaigner throughout his career.

He brought up his 15th win at Stawell on June 1 and has now earned $100,000 for the Ainsworth family.

Quaker Jet has produced some outstanding trotters in Australasia among his 34 winners from 45 Australian-bred starters.

Interesting Night Whisperer is his fourth highest earner behind Im Ready Jet ($811,750), Revelstoke ($210,075) and Gunner ($121,149).

GREAT start to the career of 2yo filly Remembrance Time - a daughter of Classic Connection Fra and Ima Bourbon Girl.

She spaced her older rivals in winning on debut by 14m.

Ima Bourbon Girl was a fine mare with eight wins and after years of trying this is her first only foal.

🥇REMEMBRANCE TIME (Classic Connection Fra-Ima Bourbon Girl NZ) 2yo filly Victoria - bred

Yabby Dam Sires Sweep Nutrien Trotting Classics at Wagga.

The trotting ranks at Saturday night's $1 million Nutrien Sales Classic meeting at Wagga were dominated by the progeny of stallions that have stood on the renowned Yabby Dam Farms sire roster at Ballarat.

Yabby Dam graduates completed a clean sweep of the four trotting feature finals, underlining the strength and depth of the breeding operation.

Leading the charge was the unbeaten Verbici, a son of Orlando Vici, who maintained his perfect record with victory in the $75,000 Nutrien Sales Classic Final for two-year-old colts and geldings.
Fellow two-year-old Bumper Crop, a daughter of On A Streak, captured the fillies' division, further enhancing the stallion's growing reputation.

The three-year-old trotting fillies' final worth $125,000 went to Aldebaran Ada, a talented daughter of French sire Brillantissime, who unleashed a strong finishing burst to defeat her rivals.

Completing the quartet of victories was Munny The Munster, a son of champion French stallion Love You, who proved too strong in the final for three-year-old colts and geldings.

The remarkable clean sweep highlighted the influence Yabby Dam Farms stallions continue to have on Australian trotting, with their progeny excelling on one of the richest nights of the season for young squaregaiters.
