Smashing is a good adjective to describe the dominant 2.5 lengths win at the Newcastle trials on June 27 of  juvenile filly Hot ‘n’ Leica and then her smart 1.5 lengths debut win as favourite at Tamworth on July 16.

They were efforts which suggested she could be a very worthy younger sibling of her lamented queen of the turf sister Hot Danish and that she could be competitive in Sydney tomorrow July 30.

Put down at seven earlier this year because of a debilitating illness, the Les Bridge, Randwick trained Hot Danish followed a very smart trial win late at two with a debut success at Kembla Grange as an early 3-year-old.

She went on to win 16 races, including the BRC Doomben 10,000, AJC All Aged Stakes,The Shorts, Breeders’ Classic. STC Emancipation Stakes and VRC Linlithgow Stakes, and earn $2.3millon.

Both Hot Danish ($32,000) and her older brother Prince Frederik ($11,000), a Sydney winner and placegetter in a restricted career, were sold at the Scone yearling sales to Les Bridge, but the new prospect, Hot ‘n’ Leica, has been retained by their breeder, David Parker, Port Macquarie, and is with one of the top country trainers, Greg Bennett, Scone

All three were raised for Parker on the Holbrook Thoroughbreds agistment farm close by Arrowfield stud at the northern end of the Segenhoe valley, Scone. It is home for a family, one represented at the farm by Alan and Madge Harris and their daughter Julie, who have been breeding and preparing good horses for more than a hundred years.

David Parker bred the three horses using one of Danehill’s best racing sons, Nothin’ Leica Dane, and was also responsible for the first  two dams, Hot ‘n’ Breezy (by Zephyr Zip)  and Only Make Believe (Kaoru Star).

A Sydney winner inbred 4x3 to Star Kingdom, Hot ‘n’ Breezy has as her latest foal an Encosta de Lago colt who predictably will be one of the big prizes at 2012 yearling sales. He was bred on the share system with Coolmore and David Parker had to go to $150,000 to get full ownership when Julie Harris presented the youngster at last month’s Inglis weanling sale in Sydney.

The Parker bred Hot Danish and Prince Frederik are among more than 200 winners and earners of $13.5 million by Nothin’ Leica Dane (fee $4,950), one of four sires at Jamie Mackay’s Cangon stud at Dungog, Hunter Valley.
