Dial A Prayer (NZ)

The Robert Heathcote stable have had a lot of success with the progeny of top producer Funtantes and the best of her four winners is Group I Tatts Tiara winner Startantes, who was snapped up by Widden Stud for $1.15million at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale on Thursday.

Classic trials continued overnight in the UK with the Group III Chester Vase and Listed Cheshire Oaks producing two exciting new stakes-winners, but for one of them the glory of victory was short lived.
