The Breednet ‘One to Watch’ Teramia was not the only smart three year-old winner on Sunday for Deep Field, who also featured at Sha Tin where True Legend opened his account.
Trained by Frankie Lor, True Legend was easy in the market at just his third race start but led all the way to score a short head win over the favourite
A $530,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Segenhoe draft for Lucky Owners Pty Ltd, True Legend was the most expensive yearling by his sire sold at that sale.
True Legend is a half-brother to Group II placed God of Thunder and is the second winner from Group I placed Fastnet Rock mare Jolie Bay, a full sister to dual Group I winner and Royal Ascot hero Merchant Navy.
He is the third winner in Hong Kong for Deep Field from just seven starters.
