Carrying the silks of the McAlpine's Eureka Stud, Red Dazzler colt Pardoe earned a maiden stakes success in Saturday's $100,000 Listed Oxlade Stakes (1200m) at Doomben.
Pardoe had broken his maiden at Warwick on April 17 before an easy win at Ipswich at his most recent start.

With his first stakes win, Pardoe advances his record to 3wins, 1second and 1 third from 6 starts with earnings of $109,800.
Passed in when he failed to make his $35,000 reserve at the 2016 Magic Millions March Yearling sale, the consistent son of Red Dazzler has attracted interest from Hong Kong.
"We have had an offer to sell him," Sears said.
"We will have to see what happens.
"I have always thought he was a nice horse but I think when I took him to Warwick people thought he wasn't much good.
"I think he will be a miler and he is progressing in the right way."
The 2yo colt is the fourth foal and third winner of the Rubiton mare
Pardees is a three-quarter sister to stakes winner Personal Ensign the dam of the brilliant Fontiton (Turffontein) the winner of the Group III Blue Diamond Prelude and Group III Blue Diamond Preview in addition to the valuable Inglis Banner.
