Having sired two Derby winners and an Oaks winner last season from his first
crop of three year-olds, Pierro is a real 'watch sire' as we move towards
spring so any debut winner by him that wins like this one did at Geelong on
Friday is worth further investigation.
On a day when the Lindsay Park racing team were in hot form reeling off the
first five winners at Geelong, one of their most interesting winners was three
year-old Pierro filly Gaelic Dream.
Making her debut with Regan Bayliss on board she led all the way to win the
1300 metre maiden by two and three-quarter lengths running away… as we know
with many of the Pierro breed they only get better as they go a bit further, so
it was a very encouraging win!
A modest $110,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Segenhoe Stud draft for
Vinery Stud, Gaelic Dream runs in the Vinery colours for Vinery and partners
and is the second stakes-winner for stakes-winning Falbrav (IRE) mare Irish
Dream.
Gaelic Dream is the fifth winner since the start of the season for Pierro, who
will be looking to build on his already imposing 6% stakes-winner to runners as
the spring unfolds.
The Champion First Season Sire in 2016/2017 and Champion Second Season Sire in
2017/208, Golden Slipper winner Pierro stands at Coolmore at a fee of $88,000.
