Making his first start in over three months, the Kelso Wood-trained
Into The Red pulled off a $17 upset with surprising ease in Saturdays' $100,000
Listed Landfill Logistics Ascot Handicap (1200m) at Doomben.
Under a rails hugging ride by Ryan Wiggins, Into The Red
came away to defeat the rank outsider Bymonashee (Monashee Mountain) by two and
a half lengths with the favourite
Delectation (Shamardal) a half-length back in third.
It was the second stakes win for the son of Not A Single
Doubt coming nearly 18 months after his first in the Listed Gold Edition Plate at
Doomben back in 2013.
The 4yo gelding advances his overall record to 3 wins and 4
seconds from 19 starts for earnings of $237,250.
Consigned to the 2011 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling
sale by Goodwood Farm, Into The Red (pictured as a yearling) was knocked down to bloodstock agent John
Foote for $100,000.
He is the seventh foal and seventh winner out of the unraced
Clay Hero mare Red Sequin a sister to Listed Kilmore Cup winner and Group 1
Goodwood Handicap second Czar Hero and to the dams of 4-time Hong Kong Group 1
winner Beauty Flash (Golan) and New Zealand triple Group 1 winner Maroofity
(Maroof).
Red Sequin died in August last year. She has a 2yo Duke Of Marmalade
(IRE) colt named Jon Dear and her final foal is a yearling filly by Myboycharlie
(IRE).
