Promising stayer Shotover River (Savabeel-Rivertaine by Centaine) resumed with a very encouraging second placing over a distance well short of his best, when second in the 1600m Listed Recognition Stakes at Doomben on Saturday.
The LA bred who was an $85,000 purchase from the 2011 Ready To Run Sale, was coming off a three month spell after winning his last three starts of his last preparation, all at 2200m.
It came as little surprise then that Shotover River’s co-trainer Dan Meagher purchased his Per Incanto half brother at last week’s Ready To Run Sale, paying $100,000.
