The Gai Waterhouse trained Lucky Fish is a three-quarter brother to Group I ATC Spring Champion Stakes winner Hampton Court, now standing at Spendthrift Farm in Victoria.
While staying was the forte of his famous older brother, sprinting is much more
to the liking of Lucky Fish, who bounded away to win over 1100 metres by three
and a half lengths as favourite.Unplaced at his only three previous runs, Lucky Fish may have turned a corner.
A $225,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Milburn Creek draft for Gai Waterhouse/ James Harron Bloodstock, Lucky Fish is the second winner for stakes-winning import Roses 'n' Wine (Can), who comes from the family of Australian Horse of the Year Makybe Diva.
Roses 'n' Wine (Can) is proving a profitable producer for Milburn Creek, her current two year-old colt by Snitzel fetching $600,000 at Inglis Easter this year with another Snitzel colt to follow.
She has foaled this spring producing a filly by Fastnet Rock.
