Under-rated
sire Duporth has the favourite in the Group I VRC Australian Guineas this
Saturday at Flemington in Hey Doc and also sired a debut winner at Sandown on
Wednesday that won in the colours of Gilgai Farm's Rick Jamieson.
Three year-old filly Good Oh has been given plenty of time to mature by Mick
Kent and produced a stylish effort to take the 1200 metre maiden by half a
neck.
She took a sit behind the leaders for Craig Williams to travel in fifth before
powering to the line to win in a competitive finish.
Good Oh was a $220,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Dermot Farrington Bloodstock
from the Kitchwin Hills draft and runs in the distinctive black colours of Rick
Jamieson, who was making headlines earlier this week as a breeder when his I Am
Invincible colt from Soorena fetched $1.4 million at the Inglis Premier
Yearling sale.
Good Oh was the most expensive Duporth sold in 2015 and is the second winner
for stakes-winning Snitzel mare Zelsnitz, a grand-daughter of celebrated
producer L'On Vite (USA).
A daughter of Fanfreluche, L'On Vite is the dam of Group I winner and sire Holy
Roman Emperor (USA) and Group III winner Milanova, who was sold at auction in Sydney
back in 2008 for $5million.
Originally standing at Kitchwin Hills, Duporth is looking for a home following
the sale of Jindera Park where he stood last year.
