Another Stakes Winner for Ocean Park and You May Be Able To Buy This One Shortly

Mark Smith - Saturday May 9

Runner-up to stablemate Youngstar in the Group 1 Queensland Oaks and Group II The Roses at three, the five-year-old Ocean Park mare Another Dollar scored a belated stakes win in Saturday’s Listed Gosford Gold Cup (2000m) at Randwick, which should add another dollar or two to her value as she heads to the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale.  Another Dollar image Steve Hart

Ridden by Glen Boss, the Chris Waller-trained mare was made to battle for a long-head win over a stubborn Ilwendo (GER) (Lando) with Best Of Days (GB) (Azamour) one and three-quarter lengths back in third.

“She been around the money in some really good races, she lost her way a little bit but her last run was good over much shorter so it was good to see Bossy get her home today,” Waller said.

"I think she is in the mares' sale coming up soon so she might be someone else's after that but her price tag might be a bit better for the owners.

"It was a good race to watch and well done to Racing NSW, not only for keeping racing going responsibly but moving some of these provincial Cups to places like Randwick where accessibility is a little bit easier and thanks to the Gosford Club for putting the race on."

Prominent owner Frank Cook said it had been an exciting week.

"She has been a wonderful mare. She always put in," Cook told AAPs Caryl Williamson.

"It was good to see her finally win a stakes race rather than just get beaten in a photo.

"Any Wish (Savabeel), her half-sister, won her maiden earlier this week (at Kembla Grange) so this is very exciting."

Purchased by her trainer for $190,000 at the 2016 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, Another Dollar advances her record to 4 wins, 6 seconds and 5 thirds from 24 starts with earnings of $610,250.Another Dollar a $190,000 Inglis Easter Yearling

The daughter of Ocean Park comes from one of Waikato Stud’s great families.

She is the best of three winners from five to race out of the winning Pins mare Make A Wish who is a three-quarter-sister to stakes-placegetters Golden Sand Steed and Eclectus and half-sister to Ambitious (dam of Group II Gloaming Stakes winner and Group 1 Australian Guineas runner-up Strike The Stars) out of the beautifully related Centaine mare Starcent.

At the 2019 NZB Yearling Sale at Karaka, David Ellis went to $1.4 million for a Sabeel colt out of Make A Wish.

After missing to Savabeel in 2018, Make a Wish was covered by the champion Waikato Stud stallion again last season.

Another Dollar becomes the ninth stakes-winner for Ocean Park and his fifth in Australia this season, which includes the Group 1 winners Kolding and Tofane.
