One to Watch – Pakenham

Tara Madgwick - Thursday February 16
So You Think has been churning out the winners this month and gave us a One to Watch from Pakenham on Thursday with a maiden win for the half-sister to a much loved sprinting star.

Miss Siska as a yearlingGiant sprinter Hay List had the misfortune to be racing in the Black Caviar era and consequently saw a lot of her back end, but when he was able to escape the champion mare managed to land Group I victories in the ATC All Aged Stakes, VRC Newmarket Handicap and MVRC Manikato Stakes.

His three year-old half-sister Miss Siska opened her account with a tenacious neck win over 1200 metres at her second start.

A certainty beaten on debut at Sale earlier this month, the Tony Noonan trained filly made no mistakes this time in leading throughout and fighting on to score.

Passed in at Inglis Easter and retained to race by the Davenport family, who also bred and raced Hay List, Miss Siska is the sixth winner from Sing Hallelujah.

Vinery Stud as agent will offer the current yearling from Sing Hallelujah, a colt by More Than Ready (USA) at Inglis Easter this year as Lot 457.
