15th Stakes-Winner for Pierro

Media Release - Sunday March 3

Well known WA based owner breeders Bob and Sandra Peters have had a lot of success so far with Coolmore's star young sire Pierro and it continued at Ascot on Saturday when Regal Power broke through for his first Black type win in the Listed WATC Lex Piper Stakes bringing a timely pedigree update for his Inglis Easter bound half-brother.

Pierro

Stakes-placed three times previously, the Grant and Alana Williams trained three year-old gelding finally came home a winner, taking out the 1600 metre feature by a short head as a hot favourite.

He has the overall record of two wins and four placings from 10 starts with prizemoney over $117,000.

Regal Power is the third winner from stakes-winning Redoute's Choice mare Broadway Belle and is a full brother to Group II WATC Derby winner Action, so longer trips should hold no fears for him.

He is also a brother-in-blood to the Peters homebreds Arcadia Queen, winner of the Group I WATC Kingston Town Classic and Arcadia Prince, winner of the Group III WATC Scahill Stakes.

Broadway Belle has been a regular visitor to Coolmore and has a yearling colt by Vancouver, a weanling filly by American Pharoah (USA) and is now back in foal to Pierro, who covered 228 mares last spring at a fee of $88,000.

The yearling Vancouver colt has been entered for Inglis Easter and will be consigned by Holbrook Thoroughbreds as Lot 388.

Regal Power is the 15^th stakes-winner for Pierro and is his sixth in Australia this season.
