Dating does it again for stud

Dating was a fine performer in the Waikato Stud colours and she continues to do a fine job for the farm with a 100 per cent record as a broodmare.

The daughter of O’Reilly was a two-time Group 3 winner and placed in the G1 Captain Cook S. before time was called on her career.

All three of her progeny to race have been successful with her first foal Date Night, a daughter of Savabeel, a stakes performer while her brothers Lincoln Sky and Lincoln Star are also winners.

The latter posted the fourth victory of his career at Awapuni this afternoon with the Lisa Latta representative victorious over 2100 metres.

Rider Hazel Schofer had Lincoln Star, a $180,000 Karaka purchase for Lincoln Farms, travelling sweetly in midfield before improving wide 400 metres from home and finished off determinedly to score comfortably.
