Three
year-old filly Oscietra, the first foal of undefeated world champion sprinter
Black Caviar, is a winner on Friday after saluting at Geelong on the synthetic
track.
Prepared by the Hayes Dabernig training partnership, Oscietra was third on
debut to subsequent stakes-winner Limestone when making her debut on New Year's
Day.
Sent to the paddock immediately after, Oscietra has had a good break and obviously
taken physical benefit from her time away from the track.
The daughter of Exceed and Excel showed the pace expected of her from the jump
to take up the lead for Regan Bayliss and when asked for a change of gear over
the final furlong, she delivered to kick clear and win the 1000 metre maiden by
a length and three-quarters.
"It was a great relief for her to win today. David's got her in great
order," co-owner Neil Werrett told racing.com
"She came out and did what we expected.
"I expect over the spring that she'll develop. I'm sure David's going to
take her easily, through her grades."
Oscietra was retained to race by the original ownership group that raced Black
Caviar, but runs in different colours carrying emerald green with black spots.
Black Caviar has a two year-old colt by Sebring called Prince of Caviar that is
going into work with Team Hawkes and has a yearling filly by Snitzel to follow.
She is due to foal to More Than Ready (USA) in September.
