On pedigree, this winner at Goulburn on Monday stood out like the proverbial 'lighthouse on a lillypond'.
The
Torryburn Stud colours found their way to the winner's circle at Goulburn on
Monday when lightly raced Redoute's Choice five year-old Without Peer resumed
from a long spell to score a stylish win.
The Hawkes Racing trained gelding broke his maiden back in January and has had
two barrier trials to prepare for his return.
He surged clear at the finish to win the 1200 Class Two event by a length and
has now won two of four starts, so if he stays sound may well progress to a metropolitan meeting.
Without Peer was bred and retained to race by the Cornish family of Torryburn Stud and was raised at the their picturesque East Gresford farm (pictured).
He is the first
foal of their former star mare Crimson Reign, who shot to fame when beating
Alinghi in the $1million Inglis Heroic Championship Stakes at two, before going
on to claim several stakes wins as an older mare before retiring with five wins
and prizemoney just shy of $1million.
A daughter of top class sire Red Ransom (USA), Crimson Reign has been a tricky breeder in recent years, but was covered by
Fastnet Rock last spring, so fingers crossed!
Class: Class 2. Track: Good. Time: 1:09.09. Sectional Time: 0:35.12 at 600m. Prizemoney: $15,000 - 1st: $8,200 2nd: $2,900 3rd: $1,425. |
