Double delight for stud

WS graduates flexed their muscles in Australia yesterday to credit the farm with a winning inter-state double. In Sydney, the Bjorn Baker-trained Bonny O’Reilly was successful at Canterbury while in Melbourne it was Movie who took centre stage at Moonee Valley.
Bonny O’Reilly has made a terrific start to her career and the lightly-race four-year-old has now won three of her five starts. A $100,000 Karaka yearling, she is out of the Pins mare Pretty who is a half-sister to the stud’s multiple Group One winner’s Glamour Puss and Vision And Power.
Movie is a four-year-old daughter of Savabeel and the Group Three winning Pins mare Tootsie. Raced by WS, she has won three of her 13 starts from the stable of David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig.
