Sweet RedemptionClassy mare Sweet Redemption (pictured Steve Hart) claimed her first Black Type win in the Group III ATC Festival Stakes at Rosehill over 1500 metres last Saturday.

Sweet Redemption is no speedy squib.

She’s strong, sound and versatile with five wins and eight placings from 18 starts with prizemoney nearing $300,000.

She is the 46th stakes-winner for double Danehill and has a 3x4 double cross being by Snitzel from a daughter of Group I winner Danglissa, who is sired by Danzero.
