Soon after selling Greysful Glamour, Widden Stud played vendor and buyer on Humma Humma (Denman), a mare they co-owned and raced to Gr.3 success with trainer John McArdle in Victoria. Widden Stud principal Antony Thompson paid $1 million to buy out his partners in the rising 6YO, who won six of her 32 starts and $656,000 in prize-money.
Out of the four-time winner Humma Mumma (Bel Esprit), Humma Humma is a half-sister to this season’s McArdle-trained Listed-winning 2YO Tycoon Humma (Capitalist). “We have been involved in the ownership and racing her with John McArdle.
It’s been a great ride and we know how good she is as we are very close to her,” Thompson said. “So it was an honour to be able to sell her on behalf of the owners and I am even more thrilled to be able to buy her.” Thompson suggested Zoustar (Northern Meteor) would be high on the list of stallion candidates this year, but he was also keeping his options open.
“She's a complete outcross. I love the fact she is in-bred to Vain, like Black Caviar, and of course Vain is very dear to us at Widden, having stood there. “Honestly, when you look at her, she just suits so many stallions. Zoustar is front of mind but she can go to Trapeze Artist, or any of that line.
