US Gr.3 Winner for Pins

US Group success was landed by the WS Stallion Pins on Saturday, when his Jerry Hollendorfer-trained son Our Nautique dished out a pillar to post victory in the Gr.3 San Franciso Mile at Golden Gate.

Ridden confidently from the get go, jockey Keven Krigger was delighted with the engine underneath throughout.

“I had a lot of horse under me and we had a perfect trip being the lone speed. It worked out perfectly. He was pretty confident all the way around there. Turning for home I wound him up and he gave me all he had. He ran huge” Krigger told bloodhorse.com.

Our Nautique is bred and co-owned by Rob Tunnicliffe, who races the horse in partnership with trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.

Prior to his US export in 2010, Our Nautique was raced in New Zealand.

Known as Nautique, he registered two wins here for Richard and Chris Otto.

Since US arrival, the six-year-old has raced in consistently strong fashion, with 11 starts unearthing five wins and five placings.
