Line Seeker Makes it two from two since return

23 February 2016

The Paul O’Sullivan-trained O’Reilly gelding extended his successful racing resumption to two from two in Hong Kong on Sunday.

The four-year-old was successful over 1200 metres at Sha Tin – his fourth victory of a seven start career.

Line Seeker has been patiently handled and had returned from a six month break to score at his previous appearance in January.

Line Seeker is bred by Waikato Stud and is out of the stud’s well-bred mare Hooked Ona Feeling.

Hooked Ona Feeling is a daughter of Zabeel and the multiple Group Two winner Ugachaka. She has a 100 per cent record in the breeding barn for WS and is currently in-foal to Sacred Falls.

Interestingly, all four of her foals by the late O’Reilly have been successful and include

Bishops Castle 09g – winner of six races in Australia
Blue Swede 10g – who has won seven times in Singapore
Line Seeker 11g – 4 wins in Hong Kong
O’What a Feeling 12g – winner at 1400m in 2015 in Singapore

David Hayes’ Absolute Awakened wins at Sha Tin

With Hong Kong’s new season just two weeks in, it wasn’t long before the progeny of Ardrossan stepped into the winners’ circle and at the second Sha Tin race meeting of the season, it was David Hayes’ Absolute Awakened who won by a length over 1400m.
