Black Heart Bart Captures Carbine Club Stakes

Mark Smith - Saturday November 22

The Vaughn Sigley-trained Black Heart Bart had just a win in a maiden at Bunbury to show for his 10 starts but he primed for Saturday's Listed Carbine Club Of W.A. Stakes (1400m) with a third in the Group III Asian Beau Stakes and a luckless fourth in the Group III R.J. Peters Stakes.

Ridden by Patrick Carbery, Black Heart Bart had the job ahead to reel in New Time, Miss Rose de Lago and Crown Layer but no sooner had he edged passed that trio he faced a new threat in the fast finishing Real Love (Desert King).

The 4yo son Of Blackfriars held on by a half-length to earn his first stakes win.

Black Heart Bart in the ninth and final foal of the At Talaq mare Sister Theresa who was acquired by Durham Lodge for $50,000 at the 2008 Great southern Bloodstock sale.

A 6-time winner in Brisbane, Sister Theresa is a half-sister to dual group 1 winner Savannah Success (Success Express) the dam of Group 1 WS Cox Plate winner and top sire Savabeel.

Sister Theresa's daughter Rebel Sister (Falbrav) is the dam of 2-time Listed stakes-winner Rebelson (Snippetson).

Black Heart Bart becomes the 28^th stakes-winner for local legend Blackfriars who is covering his 14^th book of mares at Scenic Lodge Thoroughbred Stud at a fee of $17,600.
