The
powerful Ciaron Maher and David Eustace stable delivered an exciting new winner
for Caulfield Guineas winning sire Shooting to Win on Monday.
Niewand jumped fast and tracked the lead for Dean Holland and powered to the
line to win the 1000 metre maiden by more than three lengths in a dominant display as favourite.
A $175,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Kia Ora Stud draft for Merrynvale
Thoroughbreds, Niewand is the second winner from stakes-winning Fastnet Rock
mare She's a Fox, a full sister to Group I winner and leading sire Foxwedge.
Niewand is the 11th winner from 32 starters for Shooting to Win,
whose best offspring are Group I placed Kubrick and stakes-placed Shotmaker.
The Group I winning son of Northern Meteor stands at Darley NSW this spring at
a fee of $22,000.
