The
Group I ATC Golden Rose winner of 2014, Hallowed Crown retired to Darley at the
end of his career and produced a smart debut winner at Warrnambool on Thursday.
Trained on the track by Daniel Bowman, Crowned Lizzie was well fancied and ran
right up to expectation when scoring a three-quarter length win in the 1100
metre maiden.
She settled last in the field of five but unwound a big finish and was doing
her best work on the line.
A $45,000 Inglis Premier purchase for her trainer from the Mill Park draft,
Crowned Lizzie was bred by Mill Park and is a half-sister to Group I placed Platinum
Balos.
She is the third winner from More Than Ready (USA) mare Lassie MacTavish, a full
sister to stakes-placed Ready to Mombo and Yatala.
Crowned Lizzie is the eighth first crop winner for Hallowed crown and is his
second this season.
The dual Group I winning son of Street Sense (USA) stands at Darley NSW at a
fee of $11,000.
