Justanexcuse gave Any Suggestion another winning update for his second crop at the 2012 NZB Karaka yearling sale at Awapanui on Saturday.

A brilliant winner of the G3 Harcourts Challenge Stakes (1400m), Justanexcuse has an Any Suggestion half-brother catalogued for Karaka in February.
 
Justanexcuse (5g No Excuse Needed – Aggressive by Val Dansant) came from midfield to cruise past Antonio Lombardo for a hands and heels win under Darryl Bradley.  He holds a nomination for the G1 Thorndon Mile.

Trainer Lisa Latta and owners Lincoln Farms have enjoyed a winning year together with Fort Lincoln (Karaka Million), Platinum Princess (G2 Coupland Mile) and President Lincoln (G2 Wellington Guineas).

Justanexcuse has won 9 races from 35 starts.  He was sold by Waikato Stud for $105,000 at the NZB 2008 Karaka Premier Sale and has now won over $240,000.

He is a half-brother to the stakes winner On Call (Ironclad) who is the dam of the G1 winning filly Scarlett Lady (Savabeel).  Their younger half-brother at Karaka is by Rich Hill Stud’s exciting young sire Any Suggestion.  

A former top-flight sprinter in Australia, Any Suggestion has already struck twice with the early season winners Killa Question (Counties) and Taoist Master (Trentham).

Any Suggestion (Lion Hunter) was a stakes winner of 9 races up to 1200 metres and was also runner-up to Miss Andretti in the G1 MVRC Australia Stakes.  He’s out of a sister to the dam of Group 1 racehorse and sire Show A Heart,

Any Suggestion will be represented at Karaka by 16 Select Sale yearlings and a further 17 in the Festival Sale.  His half-brother to Justanexcuse has been catalogued as Lot 558 by Esker Lodge at the Select Sale.
