Genuine Spin Lobs Home At Flemington

24 June 2012

Genuine Spin comfortably graduated to metropolitan class in Melbourne yesterday when she distanced his age group rivals at Flemington. The Pins three-year-old gave a strong performance over 2000 metres to score by a widening four lengths.

While her brother Stickpin was a Gr 3 winning sprinter of the Victoria Handicap and also placed in the Gr 1 Sir Rupert Clark Stakes, this filly has more than hinted at a bright middle distance future. She is prepared at Caulfield by Peter Moody, who bought her out of WS’s Premier Sale line-up at Karaka in 2010 for $65,000.

The winner of one of her previous four starts, Genuine Spin is out of the unraced Quest For Fame mare Reputedly who has a perfect record at stud with all three of her foals to have having been successful. Her last two Pins foals sold at Karaka were snapped up by Australian interests for $160,000 and $175,000 respectively.
