Godolphin 2YO Wins Elvstroem Classic

Tara Madgwick - Friday June 10

The $100,000 Gold Elvstroem Classic at Swan Hill on Friday was won by the Godolphin entry Dissolute, whose dam was on-sold last year by Darley.

Finishing midfield at his past two runs in stakes company, the John O'Shea trained son of New Approach (IRE) appreciated a drop in class to power clear and win the lucrative 1200 metre sprint by a length and three-quarters.

Dissolute is a half-brother to stakes-winner Quidnunc and stakes-placed Segolene and is the fourth winner for Group II placed Grand Lodge (USA) mare Dorky.

Dorky was on-sold last year at the Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale, snapped up by Supreme Thoroughbreds for $38,000.

She produced a filly by Epaulette last year for her new owners and will foal this spring to Helmet.
