Harper’s Choice Half-Sister a Classic Highlight

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday January 11
Progressive Street Cry (IRE) colt Harper's Choice gave his rivals a galloping lesson in the opening race at Canterbury on Wednesday providing a timely pedigree update for his half-sister headed to the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale next month.

Street CryA homebred for Bennelong Bloodstock trained by Gerald Ryan, Harper's Choice has made good improvement this preparation and relished his first try at 1900 metres.

He powered way to win by four and a half lengths as a short priced favourite and seems to be finding his forte over the longer trips.

With two wins and four placings from seven starts, Harper's Choice is on an upswing and is the third winner for Argentinean Group I winner Oxigenada (Arg).

Bennelong Bloodstock have entered the current yearling from Oxigenada, a filly by red hot first season sire Zoustar , for the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale where she is consigned by Vinery Stud as Lot 131.
