Promising filly Il Regalo looked good in a recent seven length barrier trial win and took that form to race day when she scored by a length and a half over 800 metres.
In winning, the John Blacker trained filly earned for her breeder-owner Max Pearce a $10,000 bonus that was offered by Armidale Stud as an incentive to breeders to book their mares into their exciting young sire Needs Further.
A Gooree Stud homebred, Needs Further won the Group III ATC Carbine Club Stakes and is a sibling to dual Group I winner Hallowed Crown, who stands at Darley in the Hunter Valley.
Il Regalo is the first winner for winning King of Kings (IRE) mare Your Call, who comes from a European family featuring dual Group I winner La Collina.
Your Call was one of 70 mares covered by Needs Further in his first season, the powerful bay standing at a fee of $3,300.
