Bright Future for Pins Filly

Tara Madgwick - Sunday December 2
A last start midweek maiden winner, talented Pins filly My Pendant took another step forward when downing $1,8 million filly Al Naifa to win at Moonee Valley on Saturday bringing an important update for her Karaka bound half-brother.

My Pendant - Grant CourtneyThe Danny O'Brien filly made it two wins and two seconds from just four starts when showing a neat turn of foot to motor home and win the 1200 metre dash by more than a length over Al Naifa, the half-sister by Redoute's Choice to Group I winner English.

"She took up from where she left off at Sandown last week," O'Brien said.

"She produced a really paralysing last furlong.

"She's still doing a bit wrong, running in late, but she's got that ability to really quicken."

A $100,000 NZB Premier purchase from the Waikato stud draft for Phil Cataldo Bloodstock, My Pendant runs for a big syndicate of stable clients and runs in the colours of part-owner Mark Chittick of Waikato Stud.

My Pendant is the first winner for My Locket, a half-sister to Group I Queensland Oaks winner Miss Keepsake and Group II winner Villifye and claims legendary matriarch My Tricia as her fourth dam. This family features champions Lonhro and Lankan Rupee as well as numerous Group I stars including Grosvenor, Mahaya and Tavago.

Waikato Stud will offer the half-brother by Ocean Park to My Pendant as Lot 244in Book One at Karaka 2019.
