One to Watch - Cranbourne

Breednet - Tuesday October 25
Former top flight filly Ballet Society gave her trainer Pat Hyland plenty of highlights so he would have gained plenty of pleasure when he trained Ballet Master to an impressive win at Cranbourne on Tuesday.

StravinskyBallet Master was having just his second career start after a solid fourth on debut, curiously starting at the big odds of 20-1 despite blinkers being added to his gear which did the trick in seeing him score a one length win.

The three-year-old is a three-quarter brother-in-blood to Ballet Society being by her sire Stravinsky out of her half-sister (Lady) Perpetuate.

Ballet Society won six races for Hyland in 2004/2005 including the Gr.2 Kewney Stakes and Gr.2 Angus Armanasco Stakes, and also finished third behind Alinghi in the Gr.1 Thousand Guineas in 2004.

Ballet Society's dam, Centuria also left Cent Home, a dual Group One winner of 12 races which saw him crowned New Zealand's Champion older stayer in 2002.

Hyland purchased Ballet Master at the NZB Premier Yeareling Sale for $100,000 from the draft of Ardsley Stud.

Perpetuate sadly died in 2014 when foaling a filly by Reliable Man.
