Bold showing from Ocean Park’s son

Ocean Park

Bold Contender added another victory to his CV when he scored with authority over 2150 metres at Coffs Harbour on Sunday afternoon.

Trained by Andrew Parramore, the genuine son of Ocean Park was allowed plenty of time to find his feet by rider Ben Looker.

They settled at the tail of the field before making a move 700 metres from home and the 5-year-old produced a stirring finish down the outside of the track to win going away by 2.2l.

He now has three victories to his credit along with 12 placings from 22 appearances.

Waikato Stud bred and a $12,000 New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale purchase, Bold Contender is out of the stakes performed Danasinga mare Striptease, a half-sister to the black type winners Seize The Moment and Savour The Moment.

From the family of Group 1 winners Anacheeva, Headturner and O’Marilyn, Striptease delivered a colt by Tivaci last season.
