Pins 4YO Adds Stakes Success

20 November 2011

Undisclosed coped admirably with a major rise in class at Pukekohe to credit his WS sire Pins with another stakes success. The four-year-old made his open class debut in the Listed Counties Bowl and proved too good for his better-performed opposition.

The victory also came as a pleasant surprise to the gelding’s Matamata trainer Peter McKay. “I thought he might be able to run second or third and I tried to market him at the end of his three-year-old season but nobody wanted him – if they want him now the price has gone up.”

Undisclosed, who had won three of his previous 12 starts, is a brother to the Listed Northland Breeders’ Stakes winner Pin Up Boy. They are out of the Centaine mare Dare To Win who won four races and is a half-sister to the Australian stakes winner and Gr 1 Stradbroke Handicap placegetter Double Dare.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

It is not the easiest role, that of Chairman of our Thoroughbred Racing Board. Like all chairmanships, one’s mind is rarely not occupied with the responsibility. To our Chairman, I say thanks. A lifetime in the industry, Chairman of our largest club, it is difficult to identify someone more suited to the role.
