When Dwayne Dunn came with a barnstorming finish on the South Australian-trained gelding Garner to defeat a field chockful of promising three-year-olds over 1000 metres at Caulfield on Saturday his mind may have drifted back to the day when he won on Garner's mother a decade earlier.
It happened on the same track over 1100 metres in a fillies and mares race in 2009 when Jaalippy, like Garner trained by Gordon Richards, defeated Velocitea with Take All Of Me, Anne Song, Red Flair, Cerberus Gal and Believe'N'succeed in the beaten division.
Recognise a few of those names?
Velocitea won four stakes races highlighted by the 2010 Group 1 SAJC Goodwood Handicap.
Take All Of Me is the dam of Group II SAJC Euclase Stakes winner I'll Have A Bit.
Annesong won the Group III MRC Hyderabad Stakes.
Red Flair won the Group III MRC Mannerism Stakes.
Cerberus Gal is the dam of Dundeel's Group III ATC The Schweppervescence Stakes winner Irukandji.
But they all have to bow to Believe'N'succeed who is the dam of Group 1 Epsom Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck and the Group 1 ARC Railway Stakes winner Bounding who hit the headlines recently as the dam of the US$4.1 million Curlin colt at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
A daughter of Foxhound, Jaalippy, who Dunn described as mad, has not reached the heights of the vanquished at Caulfield but she was a hard-knocking mare who was a stakes-paced winner of six races from 30 starts with earnings of $235,330.
Garner (image Grant Courtney ) is her fifth foal and fifth winner and judging on his win at Caulfield on Saturday a stakes win is well within his reach.
He comes from the third crop of the lightly used Barbados a royally-bred son of Redoute's Choice out of the dual Group 1 winner Virage De Fortune (Anabaa).
