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

And so, another Melbourne Cup has been run. Regretfully, Mary and I were not there. I have no idea how many we attended up until COVID, and I miss the Cup week. Victoria prides itself as the sporting capital of Australia; it may be, they certainly know how to create an event.
