Opening
her account with an easy win as favourite at Greyville on Sunday was three
year-old Charge Forward filly Roy's Stingray.
Fourth on debut last year, the Alyson
Wright trained filly improved at her second start to win the 1400 metre
maiden by a length.
A modest $16,000 Magic Millions Weanling purchase from the Glastonbury Farm
draft for World Wide Bloodstock, Roy's Stingray runs for prominent owner Roy
Moodley.
A full sister to stakes-placed Andromache (dam of stakes-placed Pageantry), she
is the sixth winner from NZ bred dual South African Group I winner Mythical
Play.
Three year-old Bernardini (USA) gelding Sir Bernardini made it a winning double
for Aussie breds when he won the next race, his third win from four starts.
Sir Bernardini (from Redesign) was a $52,500 Inglis Premier purchase from the
Bowness Stud draft for World Wide Bloodstock.
