The Chris Waller trained Yes Yes Yes gelding Pretty Powerful was a last start maiden winner at Newcastle on Boxing Day at his second start and kept up the good work when dashing home for Zac Lloyd to win the Benchmark 64 event over 1550m.

ty Powerful has two wins from three starts with prizemoney of $81,000 and certainly appeals as a horse that has more to offer as he matures which has been a hallmark of many of his family members.

Pretty Powerful as a foal at Coolmore in 2021.

A homebred for Dr Denis and Claire O’Brien’s Clairden Racing, Pretty Powerful is the ninth winner from nine foals to race from blue hen Pretty Penny, whose star offspring are headed by Group winners Sertorious, Pretty Brazen and Dollar for Dollar, who were all second in G1 races, as well as Group winners Pretty Amazing and Clifton Red, not to mention three more stakes-placed horses in Rezealient, I Am Titanium and Fortune of War, the dam of rising star HK Group III winner Patch of Theta.

Foaled and raised at Coolmore, Pretty Powerful is the last foal for Pretty Penny, who has now been retired, and it will be no surprise if he progresses into Black Type company as have all of his siblings that have raced!
