Reigning champion first season sire PIERRO served notice to his Second Season Sire peers on Wednesday with three (3) Metropolitan winners highlighted by a resounding win in the $50,000 VRC Kennedy Oaks Trial for
superbly bred filly Pinot.
The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained filly who has been racing in Victoria and has shown steady progress in three previous starts finishing second at both Geelong and Bendigo at recent runs.
Ridden by Steve Baster, Pinot relished the extra trip to 1800 metres and dashed away to win as eased down by nearly four lengths.
"Look at her breeding, that's what she's made to do," said Steve Baster, when asked if she was serious Oaks material.
"Today she was good. She still did a little bit wrong, but as you saw, when I zigged I should have zagged, but I eventually got the run and really launched to the line.
"I think she's quite a good filly. She hasn't realised she's a racehorse yet, so there's improvement to come."
A $200,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Coolmore draft, Pinot runs for a partnership that includes Newgate Farm and Kate Waterhouse.
She is certainly bred to win an Oaks being a half-sister to stakes-winner Dizlago and Group 2 placed Lucky Lago from Group 1 AJC Australian Oaks winner Dizelle, a full sister to HK Horse of the Year Vengeance of Rain.
Earlier on the day, the
exciting colt Octabello trained by Mick Price kept his unbeaten record intact when charging home to score over 1400 metres at his second start.
Ridden by Dwayne Dunn, Octabello was a long way back in the run but let down impressively to score a determined win and is entered for the Group I MRC Caulfield Guineas and Victoria Derby.
A $190,000 Inglis Premier purchase Octabello is the third winner for Charlotte de Belle, a full sister to dual Group 1 winner and $1.9 million earner Dash for Cash.
Pierro continued on his winning run in Perth where the Bob and Sandra Peters trained
Action scored a commanding win on debut at Belmont.
The Grant and Alana Williams trained gelding powered clear out to win over 1300 metres by a widening two lengths.
Action is the second winner for Broadway Belle, a stakes-winning Redoute's Choice full sister to stakes-winner Antique Belle.
PIERRO at Stud
A superstar at two and three, Pierro has a pedigree that would suggest his three year-olds should be well suited for classic success at three and in Pinot, Octabello and Action three new contenders for the Blue Riband events have announced their arrival.
Pierro the best son of champion sire Lonhro, stands at Coolmore Stud at a fee of $49,500.
