Super Seth three-year-old impresses
Centennial Park showed he was a quick learner with a commanding second-up performance at Geelong this afternoon to break his maiden.
The son of young Waikato Stud stallion Super Seth was green on debut last month when runner-up at Donald and, with the benefit of that experience, ran straight and true to romp home over 1412 metres.
He jumped well from to sit on the leader’s quarters and when rider John Allen asked him for an effort at the top of the straight, he quickly put paid to his rivals to saunter home by four lengths.
“That was a lovely performance and it was nice to see him break through, he was very professional,” co-trainer Calvin McEvoy said who co-trains him in partnership with his father, Tony.
“We’ll just take him through his grades now, he’s a really nice horse.”
Bred by Stephanie Hole, Centennial Park was purchased out of Wentwood Grange’s draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale by Queensland’s KPW Bloodstock for $260,000 and races for Ron and Judy Wanless.
He is out of the Charge Forward mare Savoia and her stakes-winning half-sister is the Waikato Stud-owned broodmare Starvoia, dam of the G1 Tarzino Trophy winner Skew Wiff.
