Dream Win For Filly

18 July 2011

Centaine mare Pyjamas has a perfect record at stud and her promising daughter Shandream added to the family roll of honour at Ruakaka.

The Pins three-year-old was a runaway winner over 1400 metres to take her career statistics to two wins and five placings from nine starts.

Shandream is a sister to the multiple winner Marahau and half-sister to Doubly Sure (O’Reilly), Dashing Saveel (Savabeel) and Silk Negligee (No Excuse Needed).

A $280,000 Karaka buy for trainer Richard Collett, her dam is a sister to the multiple Listed Zeditave Stakes winner Catainer.

It is also the international family of the Gr 1 Yorkshire Oaks winner Catchascatchcan and Gr 2 Railway Stakes winner and sire Antonious Pius.

Trans-Tasman stakes double for Sav

Savabeel reaffirmed his remarkable longevity and influence with a commanding trans-Tasman stakes double, as Force Of Nature claimed the Legacy Lodge Sprint and Captain Pluto powered home in the Luckygray Stakes, further cementing the NZ Hall of Fame stallion’s enduring impact across Australasian racing.
