Gringotts should probably have been called ATM, although it's unlikely that even the biggest ATM machine would have enough cash reserves to resemble anything like the payouts that the high-class son of Per Incanto has managed over the last 12 months.
In defending his title in last Saturdays 1600m $1 million-dollar The Illawarra Mercury Gong at Kembla Grange the Totara Park stud bred Per Incanto 6-year-old has won five $1 million-dollar races in the last 12 months, including two editions of the $3 million the Big Dance, plus the most prestigious victory of his short career in the $1 million Group 1 George Ryder Stakes.
Gringotts likely next assignment is the $2 million Group 2 ATC The Ingham on December 13.
Gringotts exploits have perfectly supported the Group 1 winning deeds of Jimmysstar and the high-class black -type performances of Evaporate, lifting Per Incanto to the unheralded heights of 3rd on the Australasian General Sires Premiership.
Per Incanto had a new stakes performer last weekend courtesy of the Haunui Farm bred Spellbound who ran 3rd in the 1100m Listed Counties Challenge Stakes at Pukekohe. The 2-year-old gelding was a $260,000 purchase from Karaka Book 1 earlier this year.
