Bred by Karnup Racing
Hez The Boss, Seaside Serenade and Ideal Beach, who captured rich Westbred Classic Finals at Gloucester Park on Friday night (September 4), were all sold in our 2026 WA Yearling Sale.
Hez The Boss, who was bred by Trevor Lindsay’s Karnup Racing, led throughout to win the Group 1 $215,000 Final for two-year-old colts and geldings to extend his winning skein to eight.
A $100,000 yearling, the Poster Boy gelding has banked a whopping $356,978. Earlier in the season he won the Group 1 $250,000 WA Pearl and the Listed $125,000 APG WA Sales Classic.
He is out of the grand Falcon Seelster producer Falcon’s Gem NZ, the dam also of the Westbred and Pearl victor Menemsha and the dual Listed winner Bettor’s Gem, who left A Precious Gem, the winner of the Group 2 $100,000 Westbred Classic for three-year-old fillies on the same night as Hez The Boss won.
Ideal Beach, an American Ideal colt bred by Karnup Racing and Steve Johnson, unleashed a long, probing run three-wide at the bell to swamp his rivals in the Group 2 $100,000 Final for three-year-old colts and geldings.
The second highest priced yearling at $130,000 at the 2024 sale, Ideal Beach has earned $333,115 from seven wins and three placings in 13 starts.
As a two-year-old he won the Group 1 $215,000 Westbred Classic , the Group 2 $100,000 Pearl and the Listed $125,000 APG Sales Classic.
Ideal Beach is from the unraced Coopers Beach NZ, a Somebeachsomewhere mare who has thrown four winners from five foals of racing age.
Seaside Serenade, the end-to-end winner of the Group 1 $215,000 Westbred Final for two-year-old fillies, was a graduate of last year’s APG Perth sale.
The winner of six of her eight starts, the Downbytheside filly has banked $212,409, a worthwhile result on the $35,000 paid for her as a yearling.
Bred by Kevin Charles and bought by Albert Walmsley, Seaside Serenade is the from the Group 1 APG Sales Classic winner Tenniele Erin, a Sportswriter mare from the American-bred mare Lilianna Beauty.
