This
nicely bred daughter of champion sire Redoute’s Choice made a one act affair of
the 1000 metre maiden at Geelong on Friday.
Yet another promising three year-old from the powerful Hayes/ Daberbig training
team at Lindsay Park, Absaroka was a short priced favourite at her first run
back from a spell having only had two previous starts both of them in stakes
races back in March.
Not beaten far when fourth and sixth in either of those Black Type races, Absaroka
appreciated the drop in grade to win as she pleased.
She jumped fast from the inside gate and led all the way for Chris Parnham to
win eased down by six lengths.
A $375,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Davali Thoroughbreds draft for Echo
Beach Bloodstock, Absaroka was bred by the Towell family of GT Park and is the
second winner for Group II placed More Than Ready (USA) mare Montana Sunset.
A half-sister to Group II winner Montana Flyer, Montana Sunset has a yearling
colt by Pierro and is due to foal to American Pharaoh (USA).
