Beauty Supremo Fittingly Shines on Debut

14 September 2011

The O’Reilly 3YO colt Beauty Supremo fittingly shone on debut in the Paco Boy at Waikato Stud 3YO Maiden 1200m at Taupo today.

Trained by Lance Noble, Beauty Supremoshowed plenty of pluck in the run to the line, fighting out the finish with Brela Bella and Keep the Peace’s sister Whosyourmaster for a nose/1/2 head win.

Bred with Wayne and Vicki Pike, Beauty Supremo is out of the winning Grosvenor mare, Bittersweet, who to date has produced 2 winners from 2 to race – one of which being the now Singapore based stakes performed galloper Sherbert (Bertolini).

Beauty Supremo is raced by T W Tung and was originally purchased by his trainer from the Pikes’ Longlands 2010 Select Yearling Sale draft for $140,000.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

It is difficult to maintain momentum when sitting in judgment of racing’s governance. After all, I get no pleasure in searching for non-credible decisions, but one is perpetually bewildered by the rationale behind many of the positions that make little sense.
