February was a red-letter month for Allwood Stud with no less than 12 individual bred/owned winners!

Undoubtedly the highlight was a double at Gloucester Park on February 8 with Lord Willoughby 1:58.1 (ex Amongst Royalty), who took his stake earnings over the $150,000 plateau, and Back To The Beach (ex Jessica Clare), who won in a career-best 1:56.6.

The half-brothers Aristocratic Star, a two-year-old colt by FOLLOW THE STARS, and the three-year-old Back In Twenty both saluted the judge in February, the former winning twice at Northam in 1:59.5 and 1:59.7 and the latter in 1:59.4 at Pinjarra. They are the first two foals of the 1:55 Northern Luck mare Aristocratic Glow.

Other Allwood Stud winners included Quick Stride (1:55.6, Bunbury), Maybelline Fox (1:57.6, Geelong), Marilyn Said 1:57.9 (who won twice at Albany), Veiled Secret (1:59.3, Pinjarra), Allwoods Rocknroll (Albany), Life To The Max (Albany), Joe With The Flow (Williams) and Compact Rocket (Collie).

Our resident sire TINTED CLOUD left winners in three different States in Veiled Secret 1:59.3 (Pinjarra, WA), Skyfella Cam 1:57.2 (Redcliffe, QLD) and Tinted Lass 1:58.2 (Newcastle, NSW).
