Further success for Ocean Park

5 November 2017

Exciting young WS stallion Ocean Park produced his eighth individual winner at the weekend when Ocean Deep was successful in Victoria. The well-related filly was on debut at Kilmore on Sunday and produced a smart performance to win at the first time of asking.

Trained at Euroa by David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig, the three-year-old was ridden to a comfortable victory over 1212m by Linda Meech. Making her effort all the more noteworthy was that she was up against older horses.

Ocean Deep is part-owned by former top trainer Peter Moody, who purchased her for $65,000 from WS’s 2016 draft to Karaka. She is a daughter of the Pins mare Haberdashery, also the dam of the Listed winner Sewreel (Pins).

Among Ocean Park’s list of winners is Ocean’s Fourteen, runner-up in the Listed Geelong Classic. Despite finishing out of the money, he ran creditably in Saturday’s Gr.1 VRC Derby in just his fourth race day appearance.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

It would appear I now have to continue my weekly Corner with the amount of rumblings at the start of our new racing season. I have been around long enough to know we can never please all; my tenure as Chairman of the Racing Board was subjected to as much vitriol as subsequent Boards have had to bear, so what’s different this time, or is it different.
