Mare completes top Te Rapa day for WS

Rayet completed a grand day at Te Rapa for Waikato Stud when she successfully opened
her four-year-old season.

Produced in tip-top order by trainers Ben and Ryan Foote, the daughter of Tivaci bounced
well to lead and slipped clear at the top of the straight.

She gamely responded to every call from rider Courtney Barnes for a gallant victory at the
expense of her Rating 65 opposition over 1200 metres.

Rayet hadn’t raced since she was unplaced after missing the jump in the G3 Cambridge
Breeders’ Stakes and has now won three of her eight starts.

It was the second success on the card for the Matamata farm, whose familiar stylized
colours had earlier been carried to victory by Savacat while Mark Chittick shares in the
ownership of open class sprint winner Wewillrock.

Rayet is out of the Savabeel mare Save The Stars, a sister to the dual Group 1 winner
Savvy Coup and the G2 Awapuni Gold Cup winners Nereus.

The pedigree page also boasts the four-time elite level winner Probabeel and Never Been
Kissed, who won the G1 Flight Stakes for Waikato Stud.

Save The Stars also has an unraced Tivaci three-year-old named Hamner Springs while her
Super Seth filly was sold at Karaka earlier this year to Enigma Farm for $70,000 and she is
again due to foal to the son of Dundeel.
