Bob
and Sandra Peters enjoy spectacular success with their stable of homebreds, but
it was one of their Karaka purchases that had them in the winner's circle at Ascot
on Good Friday when Celebrity Dream took
out the Listed WATC Sheila Gwynne Classic.
Already a Group III winner and multiple stakes-winner, the Adam Durrant trained
daughter of Thorn Park racked up her 11th win when forging clear to
win the 1400 metre contest by a length and a half.
A $260,000 NZB Premier purchase from the Haunui Farm draft for John Chalmers
Bloodstock, Celebrity Dream has won over $600,000 in prizemoney.
She has become a valuable broodmare prospect being a sibling to Group winners Vavasour
and Catalonia as well as Group I placed Rondinella from the great producing Group
III winner Valpolicella.
Completely free of Danehill blood, six year-old Celebrity Dream will be an easy
horse to mate this spring if connections elect to finish her racing career this year.
