Winners Highlight Per Incanto Book

Two LA bred overseas winners last week serve to highlight the quality of mare served by Per Incanto to date.

Shotover River (Savabeel-Rivertaine) who recorded his second win from his last three starts when successful over 1670m in Queensland last Friday, has a cracking Per Incanto yearling half brother in our Karaka draft this summer.

Rivertaine, whose progeny have consistently sold at Karaka Premiser, is from the family of Legs, Arletty and He’s Remarkable. She has been a successful broodmare producing six individual winners including the Gr.1 placed Hong Kong galloper Regency Horse.

The LA, Don and Jamie Gordon bred Over Easy (Darci Brahma-Southern Cry), a winner in Singapore on Friday, is the first foal of his Kaapstad dam. The mare’s second foal is last season’s Gr.1 New Zealand Derby fourth place-getter Saint Kitt who was passed in when part of our 2011 Karaka Premier Sale draft.

Southern Cry also has a Per Incanto yearling colt this season and is being aimed at the Karaka Ready To Run Sale.

Dark Angel (Nadeem-Opaline by Jade Robbery by Mr Prospector) was rewarded for some good recent form, recording his fifth career win when successful over 1400m in Queensland last Thursday.

Faithful Warrior (Zed – Maranello Miss) gave Zed his first Singapore winner when successful over 1600m at Kranji on Sunday. He did it in style too, winning by nine and a half lengths.

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
