An
eye-catching copper chestnut with a silvery mane and tail, well named mare I've
Got the Looks made it an early stakes double for her sire Choisir at the Gold
Coast on ANZAC Day when she dashed away to score her first Black Type success
in the Listed Silk Stocking Stakes.
Tuned up with two recent trials wins in Sydney by Peter and Paul Snowden, I've
Got the Looks was fit and ready to fire at her first run back from a spell and
delivered the goods as a well backed favourite.
She enjoyed a soft run in transit for Glen Boss just behind the leaders and was
able to slide through along the fence after turning for home to take the 1200 metre
sprint by more than a length.
"Under the weights she was very well in and raced accordingly," said Peter
Snowden.
"She's very quick and very honest. She came to us from the late Guy Walter and
was in great shape, so I'm glad that I've been able to carry it on for her."
Retained to race by her breeder Kevin Randell, I've Got the Looks has the overall
record of seven wins and five placings from 18 starts with prizemoney topping
$340,000.
She is the best of two winners from metropolitan winning Zeditave mare Revived,
who was also bred and raced by Mr Randell.
I've Got the Looks is the first stakes-winner in five generations of her female
family, so Choisir has done a fine job in upgrading the pedigree.
She is his 66th stakes-winner following on from Worthy Cause, who
won the Group III Gunsynd Classic earlier in the day to be stakes-winner 65. Click here to read about him.
Choisir stands at Coolmore this spring at a fee of $29,700.
