Super win by Sethito

A Group 1 pedigree was to the fore at Rotorua on Tuesday where well-bred Super Seth three-year-old Sethito (ex Suavito) ran her rivals into the deck with a commanding frontrunning display over 1400 metres.

Bred and owned by Garry Chittick of Waikato Stud, out of his dual Group 1-winning mare Suavito (Thorn Park), winner of the Gr.1 Futurity Stakes and Gr.1 CF Orr Stakes, the promising filly never missed a beat over the 1400m journey.

At just her third start, Sethito adds to her sire Super Seth’s impressive winning tally. Already the sire of Group 3 winner Linebacker, who too was Group 1-placed in the ATC Champagne Stakes along with this year’s Caulfield Guineas second placegetter in Feroce, Super Seth sits in fifth position on the Australian second-season sires’ premiership – an impressive feat for a sire with lesser numbers in Australia.

Suavito is due to foal to Super Seth this season.

The Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott-trained representative was making her third appearance and the addition of blinkers agreed with the filly, who was sharp from the outset.

The Waikato Stud-bred and raced Sethito jumped cleanly to take up the running set a strong tempo to the home turn.

Rider Craig Grylls kicked her clear at the top of the straight and they sailed clear to have six and a-half lengths on their closest rival.

Sethito, who has an unraced juvenile brother named Stratford, is a son of the Matamata farm’s Group 1-winning son of Dundeel and the two-time elite-level winner Suavito.

The high-class daughter of Thorn Park also has a yearling colt by Savabeel and returned to Super Seth.
