Sepoy Filly Salutes

Tara Madgwick - Friday August 26
Team Hawkes produced an impressive winner for Sepoy on Friday with promising filly Larapineta breaking her maiden in good style at Geelong.

Larapineta as a yearlingBack in the autumn, Larapineta was thought good enough to contest the Group II ATC Magic Night Stakes on debut finishing midfield, just four and a half lengths away from the winner Calliope and runner-up Omei Sword.

Spelled immediately after, she was fifth when resuming at Gosford on August 11 and went to the post favourite at Geelong in the 1200 metre maiden.

She was always travelling like a winner and strode clear to win by nearly three lengths.

A $350,000 Magic Millions purchase for Hawkes Racing from the Glenlogan Park draft, Larapineta is the first winner for stakes-winning Stratum mare Spectrolite.

She is the 13th winner for Darley's Golden Slipper winner Sepoy in both hemispheres with six of those winners coming in Australia.
