A domestic Group II winner with a galloper LA bred in partnership and a second placing in a Group III event in Sydney with a son of Per Incanto (USA) that the farm also bred highlighted a very successful Saturday afternoon of racing.
All Roads (Road To Rock-Dancing Daze by Dance Floor), victorious in the 1600m G2 Windsor Park Japan New Zealand Trophy at Tauranga, was part of a winning double for the partnership of LA and long-time client and friend Don Gordon. Earlier in the afternoon, the NZ Derby 4th place-getter of his year, Saint Kitt (Keeper-Southern Cry by Kaapstad) had taken out the $30,000 1800m Hororata Gold Cup at Riccarton.
Tony and
Lou Cole's Argonaut Racing and Breeding purchased All Roads from the LA draft at the 2013 Karaka Select Yearling Sale for $40,000.
LA enjoyed a very successful day at the Canterbury Racing Clubs meeting with former Hong Kong galloper Flying Ibis ( Nadeem -Fiery Sunset) landing the $30,000 open sprint and the exciting Don Carlo ( Per Incanto -Turf Fire by O'Reilly) making it four wins from just seven starts with a tough win in the 3YO handicap event over 1000m, despite the impost of 59.5kgs.
Meanwhile at Rosehill, the LA bred Per Incanto 4YO Dal Cielo ( Per Incanto-Cent From Heaven by Centaine) gained further Australian black-type with his second placing in the 1200m G3 Star Kingdom Stakes.
It's fair to say it was a Super Saturday!
