More Group Success for Artistry

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday November 1
WA based owner/breeder Neven Botica has been enjoying success of late through his young New Zealand based stallion Dalghar (Fr), but was in the winner's circle at Flemington on Cup Day with classy mare Artistry, winner of the Group III VRC Hong Kong Jockey Club Stakes.

Artistry - Grant CourtneyThe Peter and Paul Snowden trained daughter of Shamardal (USA) was a good second at her first run back from a spell at Randwick last month and went right on with the job in this 1400 metre contest.

She powered home from back in the field to win by half a length taking her overall record to seven wins from 19 starts with prizemoney topping $450,000.

It was the second Group III win for Artistry, who is the best of two winners from unraced Belong to Me (USA) mare Lady Peony, who comes from the family of Champion 3YO Filly Samantha Miss and Group I winner Cronus.

Artistry was foaled and raised at Amarina Farm in the Hunter Valley as was Saturday's Group III winner Sheidel, so it's been a good week for Craig Anderson and his team.

Lady Peony is now at stud in New Zealand for Neven Botica and had a yearling filly by Azamour (Fr) fetch $300,000 at the NZB Premier Yearling Sale this year.
