Further success for top family

A potent Waikato Stud family made its presence felt at Goulburn on Tuesday afternoon.

Matamata farm WS-graduate Stand In Line was successful over 2100 metres on his home track for trainer and part-owner Danielle Seib and rider Jean Van Overmeire.

The son of Tivaci coasted along in front and, after surging clear at the top of the straight, held a strong gallop to win by two lengths and crown a run of six placings from his previous ten appearances.

Purchased by Seib for A$120,000 at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Stand In Line is a son of the unraced Danasinga mare Chorus.

She is a half-sister to the G1 Ellerslie Sires’ Produce Stakes winner Good Faith whose daughters Tully Dane and Mygoodgrace were also stakes winners.

Group 1 winners Daffodil, Atishu and Aegon feature on the pedigree page as does Mazzolino, who carried Waikato Stud’s colours to victory in the G3 Deset Gold Stakes.

Chorus, who is due to foal to Noverre, has also produced the O’Reilly mares Symphonic and Glee, the respective dams of the dual top-flight winner Orchestral and the recent G2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas hero Savaglee.
