Hissing Sid a 5 year old son of Golden Snake was gallant in diving home for 3rd in the Group 3 Easter Cup over 2000m today at Caulfield. He was blocked for a run in the home strait and when a gap opened up he just ran out of ground and time as he picked himself up and got into stride , it was just too late to pick the winner up . A most impressive run second up from a spell which shows that the gelding is just starting to hit his straps this time in.

“I cannot think of a more affordable option in the search of a possible Cups horse,” said William Inglis & Son’s Peter Heagney.

“Not many stallions can claim to have sired two Australian Champions in Makybe Diva and Desert War. Not to forget outstanding Gr.1 European stayers Mr Dinos, Chelsea Rose and Darsalam.”
