Breeder Ray Willis is relishing the "when you're hot, you're hot" philosophy. Willis breeds his small team out of his Rheinwood operation at Mittagong and his recent purple patch continued last week. At the Scone Cup meeting last Friday the Willis bred So Anyway won the Dark Jewel Stakes for Patinack Farm and at Doomben the following day the Rheinwood - raised Albert the Fat won the group 1 BTC Cup, having been sold at the Magic Millions in 2006.

Ten days ago Willis also had the first starter from the Gai Waterhouse stable, Polar Eclipse, narrowly beaten on his debut at Randwick.

These successes followed on from the breeder enjoying his best return from the Inglis Easter Sales in April where he had five yearlings fetch $842,500. at a average of $168,500.

And his offerings weren't by the super-stallions, they were by Testa Rossa, Choisir and three by freshman sire Nadeem.
