First Aussie Stakes-Winner for Smart Missile

Tara Madgwick - Friday April 14
Smart Missile has been desperately seeking an Australian stakes-winner for some time and got the job done at last on Good Friday when promising colt Debellatio took out the Group III WATC Sires Produce Stakes at Ascot.

A fast finishing last start third in the Group II WATC Karrakatta Plate when he settled back in the field after missing the start, the Fred Kersely trained Debellatio tried very different tactics for his first attempt at 1400 metres.

Deballatio as a yearlingSent out favourite, Debellatio went straight to the front and raced away to win by two and a half lengths taking his overall record to two wins and two placings from five starts with prizemoney of $189,800.

A $30,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Chevaux Bloodstock from the Yarraman Park draft, Debellatio was re-offered at the Inglis Star Ready to Run Sale as a two year-old where he made $110,000.

Bred by Harry Mitchell and foaled and raised at Yarraman,  Debellatio is a half-brother to stakes-winner Devoirs and is the best of four winners from Group II winner Velasco, who produced a colt by Hinchinbrook last spring.

Deballatio is the second stakes-winner for Arrowfield Stud's Smart Missile and is his first in Australia.
