The LA-bred and raced Sugar Schnapps produced a stirring performance at Rotorua to open her winning account in style.
Trained by Guy Lowry and Leah Zydenbos, the daughter of Per Incanto and the Pins mare Shandream had finished a debut runner-up on the course before Christmas and had no trouble going one better in Matt Cameron’s hands.
“It was a very good win, she’s quite cantankerous and likes things her own way so she’s happy in front,” stable representative Nick Downs said.
Sugar Schnapps’ dam Shandream, who has a Time Test yearling filly, was a gifted performer who won on eight occasions including victory in the Listed Counties Bowl and was a multiple stakes placegetter.
