Overreach more than a labour of love for owner George Altomonte Overreach and jockey Tommy Berry leave their rivals behind in the Golden Slipper. OVERREACH is the culmination of nearly four decades of studying, experimenting and perfecting thoroughbred breeding - so it is little wonder owner George Altomonte has no plans to sell his superstar filly. Since her runaway Golden Slipper win last week, Altomonte has had numerous offers for the two-year-old he bred and races. With the thoroughbred breeding industry awash in cash, as evidenced by the extraordinary record-breaking results at the Inglis Easter Sales this week, Overreach would command huge money as a superbly-bred Slipper-winning filly. But it seems she is not for sale - at any price. "I've had people wanting to buy her but I will keep her to breed from when she retires from racing," he said. You don't often get a filly as good as her. Overreach has emerged from her Golden Slipper triumph in great order and is $1.60 favourite with TAB Fixed Odds to continue her winning momentum in the Group 1 $500,000 Inglis ATC Sires Produce Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick tomorrow. Waterhouse, jockey Tommy Berry and Overreach herself received plenty of kudos for the Golden Slipper win but perhaps not enough was made of Altomonte's rare achievement to breed and own the winner. Overreach is by Darley's champion sire Exceed And Excel and is the first foal to race out of the Snippets' mare Bahia, an unbeaten winner of four races. Altomonte revealed Bahia has a yearling colt by Flying Spur and a foal at foot that is a full brother to Overreach. The broodmare is in foal to super stallion Redoute's Choice. Bahia is one of 35 broodmares Altomonte has at his boutique Corumbene Stud near Dunedoo and she helped provide the owner with the Golden Slipper trophy he longed for. Altomonte had raced two Golden Slipper placegetters with Paris Opera who was second to Courtza in 1989 and Hasna, a third placegetter behind Polar Success in 2003. He also bred and sold the 2008 Golden Slipper winner Sebring for $130,000 at the Magic Millions Sales. "I've been involved with breeding for 35 years and I've had some very good horses but to win a Golden Slipper with a filly you own and bred is pretty hard to beat," said Altomonte. I do put a fair amount of time into it. I take my matings very seriously. If you put the effort in, do the research and get it right, these results can happen. For as long as I can remember, I have been a student of breeding. I loved the breeding side of the business, the genetics. I'm always checking bloodlines and breeding, it's marvellous what you can pick up from doing some research. Overreach is attempting to become the 14th horse to complete the Golden Slipper-ATC Sires Produce Stakes double. The last three juveniles to win both races were trained by Gai Waterhouse - Dance Hero (2004), Sebring (2008) and Pierro (2012). Altomonte maintains it is no fluke that Waterhouse has consistent success with her two-year-old teams season after season. "You have got to give that lady tremendous credit," Altomonte said. A lot of people don't realise she gets up at 2.30am every day. She is so dedicated but very accessible. I can call her at any time and she always tells me what is going on. Gai is a remarkable person. The only Golden Slipper-winning fillies to back up and win the Sires were the freakish Toy Show (1975), Burst (1992) and Merlene (1996). Both Toy Show and Merlene did not stay in training for the Champagne Stakes but Burst remains the only filly to make a clean sweep of the juvenile triple crown. Altomonte believes Overreach can stretch her brilliance to 1400m in the Sires and has not ruled out starting the filly in the Champagne Stakes at 1600m in two weeks, particularly if she has a chance to complete the triple crown. "I think she will run the 1400m," Altomonte said. I had a look at her on Sunday after the Golden Slipper and you would not have thought she had had a run. She recovers pretty well, eats up everything, which are all good signs. She's a very smart filly. She can jump a length in front of them at the start and in a big field that is a huge advantage. If she is a chance to win the triple crown, we would press on. If she pulls up like she did after the Golden Slipper I see no reason why she wouldn't. She can then have a good break over winter.
