Opacity Continues Winning March
Opacity has continued his rapid progress through the grades in Sydney with success at Canterbury Park.
The Ocean Park three-year-old completed a hat-trick of wins when he triumphed over 1900 metres.
Trained by John O’Shea, he was ridden by James McDonald and cruised home by two lengths.
Opacity, whose only defeat was a runner-up finish on debut, was a $70,000 Karaka graduate.
He is raced by Champion Thoroughbreds with a large syndicate of owners.
Opacity is the first foal to race for the stakes winner and Group One placegetter Twilight Granita.
It is the family of the two-time Group One winner Viadana and the top-flight winner Sakana.
