The
well-known colours of the Esplin family were carried to victory in impressive
fashion at Scone on Friday by a half-sister to their Group I winning mare Plucky
Belle by Aquis Farm's Dream Ahead (USA).
Three year-old filly Dreamy Belle had been well educated with a series of
barrier trials by Kris Lees and looked a class above when scooting clear to win
the 900 metre scamper by two and a quarter lengths on debut.
Dreamy Belle is a half-sister to Group I ATC Coolmore Classic winner Plucky
Belle and Group I place-getters Rawnaq and Light Brigade.
She is the fifth winner from six foals to race from former high class Group II
winning Zabeel mare Winning Belle.
Winning Belle has a yearling colt by Plucky Belle's sire Mossman and sadly
missed to Dream Ahead last spring.
The leading Australian Second Crop Sire last season by stakes-winners, Dream
Ahead stands at Aquis Farm at Murrurrundi at a fee of $19,800.
