Not that he was ever off the radar but during a week when it was announced Per Incanto would return to serving duties, the outstanding sire son of Street Cry has served up a timely reminder of his standing amongst Australasia’s elite stallions, siring six winners in two days across Australasia and bringing up his tenth winner in the last five days.
Allapercanto (Per Incanto-Allawara by Von Costa De Hero) and Miss Galore (Per Incanto-Shonda Rhymes by Volksraad ) were successful at Newcastle and Geelong respectively on Friday, followed on Saturday by Imagination (Per Incanto-Fabaz by O’Reilly) and Charlotte Amalie (Per Incanto-Virgin Islands by O’Reilly) both winning at New Plymouth, and rounded out by the wins of Luscious Lover (Per Incanto-Luscious Lass by Al Akbar) at Riccarton and the P Hart and R MacDonald bred Mighty Feat (Per Incanto- On Yer Feet by Snitzel) in New South Wales.
Blenheim’s Stephanie Hole, the breeder of last season’s VRC Derby winner Manzoice, hadtwebty four hours to remember. After Pushy’s (Time Test-Sweet Child by Annaba) outstanding win at Newcastle on Friday, Charlotte Amalie, also bred by Stephanie, capped off two runners-up performances to record a deserved win over 1200m at New Plymouth.
Time Test is building an impressive record across the Tasman, and he looks to have yet another progressive type in the form of the Michael Hickmott trained Braveman's Game (Time Test-Sampi by Per Incanto). The Helen Phinney bred four-year old ran second on debut at Morphettville last month and has followed that up with two wins at the city track, the latest on Saturday over 1200m.
