The powerful Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable were in the winner’s circle at Scone on Monday when promising American Pharoah (USA) filly Wenet scored her second win.
A last start winner at Scone on October 22, Wenet lugged 60kg to victory in the 1300m fillies and mares event leading all the way to win by three-quarters of a length as favourite.

Wenet is on an upswing this preparation and with two wins from five starts there should be more to come.
A $100,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Rothwell Park Thoroughbreds draft for her trainers, Wenet is the first winner for Whitula, a placed half-sister to Group I winner Headway and this season’s stakes-winning three year-old Mazu.
American Pharoah is finishing off his fifth season at Coolmore Australia standing at a fee of $49,500.
American Pharoah has been in hot form this year siring 15 stakes-winners since January 1 headed by his Japanese Group I winner Café Pharoah and including his Australian Group III winner Head of State..
