The Storm Inside sired his first winner in the very first Victorian 2YO race and to make it even sweeter, he sired the quinella!
Viva Storm produced a strong effort to win and hold off a fast finishing Stormy Woods.
Bred by Jane Hearn and John Nalder, Viva Storm is the second foal of the Falcon Seelster mare Viva La Nina.
She was offered at the 2023 Nutrien Equine Melbourne Sale where she was purchased by trainer Joe Fenech for just $6,000.
The Storm Inside is certainly creating an impression as a sire. The former Australian 2YO Pacing Colt of the Year has already sired 4 2YO qualifiers from just 58 live foals.
The reports on his debut crop have been nothing short of sensational, so we are certain that it won’t be long until he sires his next winner.
