Tivaci filly retains unbeaten record
Tivaci’s exciting daughter Never Been Kissed retained her perfect record with further success over 1300 metres this afternoon at Newcastle.
The Waikato Stud-bred and owned 3-year-old was a smart debut winner at Hawkesbury last month and handled a rise in class with aplomb to make it two on the bounce and the promise of more to come.
Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Never Been Kissed is the first foal of the Savabeel mare Movie, who won three races up to 1500 metres.
She is a half-sister to the three-time Group 2 winner Ocean Emperor and they are out of the G3 Mannerism S. winner Tootsie.
It’s also the family of the farm-bred multiple Group 1-winning Savabeel mares Probabeel and Savvy Coup.
Movie, who has a 2-year-old colt by Sacred Foals and is currently in foal to Ocean Park, is the fifth winner this season for High Chaparral’s son Tivaci.
