Fillies by The Autumn Sun have really proven their worth at a high level and Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman produced a debut two year-old winner by him at Ballarat on Sunday that really caught the eye.
Vivid Sun was a short priced favourite for the 1200m maiden and required little more than a shake up from Blake Shinn to kick away and win by a couple of lengths in a dominant display.
Vivid Sun was a $200,000 Inglis Easter purchase from Arrowfield for Dalziel Racing / Moody Racing and looks a bright prospect for the future with her pedigree suggesting Oaks potential next season.
She is the fourth winner from four to race from winning Zenno Rob Roy mare Rainbow Song (Jpn), a sibling to Japanese Group I winner Rainbow Line and Group II winner Animate Bio.
It’s always a good indication if the same purchasers come back to buy the next foal from the mare and that happened at Inglis Easter this year when Dalziel Bloodstock / Moody Racing paid $300,000 for the full sister to Vivid Sun.
Rainbow Song had no foal last year after missing to The Autumn Sun and is now in foal to Castelvecchio.
