Hinchinbrook Filly Wins Again

Tara Madgwick - Friday January 23

Promising Hinchinbrook filly Moment of Music scored her second victory when saluting in good style at Scone on Friday.

Moment of Music

Prepared by Kris Lees, Moment of Music was sent out a well backed favourite and took the 1100 metre event by half a length, her second win from three starts, the two victories coming after a debut second at Scone in October.

Moment of Music was a $30,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the draft of Rosemont Stud and is the first foal of Escalotte, a placed half-sister by Encosta de Lago to Group I winner Barkada.

The current yearling from Escalotte, a colt by Dream Ahead (USA), will be offered by Sefton Park Thoroughbreds as Lot 77 at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale next month.

A three-quarter brother by Fastnet Rock to Snitzel, Yarraman Park based Hinchinbrook has made a bright start to his career at stud with stakes-winning filly Carriages his best performer to date.

Hinchinbrook has 17 entries for Inglis Classic, so is sure to be popular.
