Red Hot Sax notched the first black-type win for her sire Saxon in the LR Burgess Queen Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.  The victory made amends for her narrow defeat in the LR Supremacy Stakes earlier this year.

Red Hot Sax (3f Saxon – Lonicera by Chanteclair) is part-owned and trained by David Harrison and she cost a mere $11,000 from the Heytesbury Stud consignment at the 2010 Perth Magic Millions.

Saxon (Danehill) won the G2 Queensland Guineas and G3 Doomben Classic before retiring to Heytesbury.  He sired 7 winners of $385,600 to win the Sunspeed first-season sires’ premiership in 2010-11.

Red Hot Sax is a Heytesbury product through and through.  Her dam Lonicera was runner-up in the 2003 Burgess Queen and she is a sister to G2 Karrakatta Plate winner Climb The Vine.

Lonicera is by Heytesbury bred champion Chanteclair who claimed a Group 1 double in the 1986 AJC Epsom – VRC Ampol (Emirates) Stakes.

Chanteclair’s sire Haulpak was based at Heytesbury alongside Robert Holmes a Court’s Melbourne Cup winner Silver Knight.  Sunspeed breeders regard him as greatest sire to ever stand in Western Australia.

Haulpak sired 235 winners of 1071 races at an astounding 79% strike-rate.  He sired 33 stakes winners and they included G1 winners Starstruck, Chanteclair, Coal Pak, Miss Muffet, Highpak and Hold That Smile.
