A homebred for Bob and Sandra Peters prepared by Grant and Alana Williams, three year-old gelding Regal Power has always promised to enjoy a staying trip and powered clear to win the Listed WATC Melvista Stakes over 2200 metres at Ascot by two and a quarter lengths.
It was his second Black Type win and took his overall record to three wins and five placings from 12 starts with prizemoney over $216,000.
Regal Power is the third winner from stakes-winning Redoute’s Choice mare Broadway Belle and is a full brother to Group II WATC Derby winner Action.
He is also a brother-in-blood to the Peters homebreds Arcadia Queen, winner of the Group I WATC Kingston Town Classic and Arcadia Prince, winner of the Group III WATC Scahill Stakes.
Broadway Belle has been a regular visitor to Coolmore and has a yearling colt by Vancouver, a weanling filly by American Pharoah (USA) and is now back in foal to Pierro, who covered 228 mares last spring at a fee of $88,000.
The yearling Vancouver colt has been entered for Inglis Easter and will be consigned by Holbrook Thoroughbreds as Lot 388.
