Black Caviar Relation Wins in Town

Tara Madgwick - Saturday January 31
The Black Caviar family was responsible for our One to Watch from Sale a couple of weeks ago when three year-old filly Sistonic blitzed her rivals on debut and she remained unbeaten after scoring at Moonee Valley on Friday night.

Sistonic - Grant CourtneyA full sister to stakes-winner Iconic and three-quarter sister-in-blood to Black Caviar, the David Hayes and Tom Dabernig trained daughter of Bel Esprit saluted by the best part of a length over 1200 metres as a short priced favourite after leading throughout.

A homebred for Dorrington Farm's Robert Crabtree, Sistonic is the fifth winner from five to race from Danavia, a placed three-quarter sister by Danehill to Group I winner Magnus, Group II winners Wilander and Scandiva and stakes-winner Arctic Flight.

Another sibling to Danavia is Helsinge, the dam of superstars Black Caviar and All Too Hard.

Sistonic is the last foal of Danavia, who died in 2011.

She will be looking to gain Black Type in the autumn and if what we saw tonight is any indication Sistonic might be well up to the task.
