Smart 3YO strikes again in HK
Promising three-year-old Patch Of Cosmo (ex Thee) has continued his winning run of form in Hong Kong.
The son of Super Seth had returned from a break last month at Sha Tin to open his account over 1,200 metres at his third appearance.
On Sunday evening, the Manfred Man-trained representative produced a repeat performance over the course and distance and again in the hands of Luke Ferraris.
Patch Of Cosmo was bred by Waikato Stud and purchased by Richard Racing for $70,000 at last year’s New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale and then realised $230,000 when offered by Riversley Park at the Ready to Run Sale.
He is the first foal of the Savabeel mare Thee whose dam, the dual stakes winner Thy is a three-quarter sister to the two-time Group 1 winner The Jewel and a half-sister to the G1 10,00 Guineas winner La Diosa.
John Foote secured Thee’s Super Seth colt sold for $170,000 at Karaka earlier this year and the mare has an Ardrossan yearling colt and is due to foal again to the son of Redoute’s Choice.
