Exciting juvenile Bear Hero made it two runaway wins from as many starts when he thrashed his three rivals at Sha Tin in Hong Kong today.

A son of General Nediym, Bear Hero was sent out as the hot favourite after his brilliant four and three quarter lengths win earlier in the month.

This time around he cruised home under Weichong Marwing to win by a widening two and three quarter length margin.

A graduate of Baramul Stud, Bear Hero is trained by David Ferraris for Peter Fan, Dr Michael Mok Hing Hung and Montgomery Ho Sun Wah.

The colt was purchased on their behalf by leading bloodstock agent John Hutchinson for $140,000 at last year’s Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

“Through John Moore, I just happened to manage an inported US-bred broodmare (Bear Fan) here for Bear Hero’s principal owner Peter Fan,” Hutchinson said.

“That’s how we came in contact although I had not met him until the 2010 sale.”

“Bear Fan was a top class racemare in the states winning three Group Two races and setting a course record at Belmont.”

Hutchinson spotted Bear Hero prior to attending the 2010 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and kept a close eye on him thereafter.

“I first inspected him at Baramul in the December before the sale and I liked the colt – without him standing out in particular I must say,” he recalled.

“And so at the sale, once I had met Peter and we had spoken about his budget, the colt just kept staying on the short list until he was one of about five we had vetted.”

“Once you have looked at a yearling five times and get the green light from the vet, well, sometimes you just have to pin your ears back.”

“Bear Hero was a tall, leggy type but had a good correct walk and great scope for further physical development – he was the type of General Nediym I like.”

“He thrived during the sale week with all the inspections which is always a sign to look for and sold for just about what we thought – I was very relieved when David (Chester) knocked him down.”

“Anyway, we had him broken in at Muskoka and from day one he just looked a natural, so I am delighted that’s they way it has turned out.”

From his two runs, Bear Hero has already earned HK$855,000 (over A$100,000) and he looks to have an extremely bright future.

Bear Hero is one of five winners, from six to race, for the Last Tycoon mare Windfall.

That makes him a half brother to the Sydney stakes performer Spinning Boy – who was sold to Hong Kong and raced with success under the name of Cheerful Boy.

Windfall is a half sister to Gimcrack Stakes placegetter Pretty Buttons – the dam of stakes gallopers L’espalier and Butt I’m Ready.

Pretty Buttons has an Encosta de Lago colt catalogued for next month’s Magic Millions National Yearling Sale.
