Per Incanto's 24th Stakes Winner

With a resume that includes second placings to rising star Duais and Amarelinha in Group 1 Oaks events last season, Charms Star (Per Incanto-Anniesstar by Zed) was a deserved winner of the Group 3 JAPAC Homes Manawatu Breeders Stakes at Awapuni on Friday, giving Per Incanto his 24th individual stakes winner.

Bred by LA and Pete and Chrissie Algie, Charms Star was a $65k purchase by Lisa Latta from LA’s 2019 Karaka Book 2 draft.

Charms Star is the 4th individual stakes winner from LA’s 2019 Karaka draft, which has also included three further stakes performers.

First and foremost, stockman and people whose interest in the animal translates into an innate ability to read how a horse will develop. I’ll see a foal at LA and Sam or Buzz will tell me how they expect it to develop. I’ll see it during my Karaka inspections 12 months later, and you could blow me over with a feather
