Trained by the Lindsay Park team, Power Scheme was a last start winner at Caulfield and kept up the good work to make it back to back wins when scoring by a short neck in a driving finish for Melbourne Cup winning jockey Jye McNeil.


Bred and retained to race by Sun Bloodstock, Power Scheme was a Listed winner at two and has the overall record of four wins, two seconds and three thirds from 18 starts with earnings in excess of $450,000.

A brother to the top-class Hawkshot, the winner of the Group II MRC Autumn Stakes and runner up in the Group 1 Australian Guineas, Power Scheme is the third winner from as many to race from the Encosta de Lago mare Rosa Perlato, a daughter of stakes-placed Fiammarosa from the family of Group I winners Shindig and Shinzig.

Purchased for $41,000 from a Patinack Farm reduction in 2012, Rosa Perlato has a yearling colt by Thronum and foaled a full-sister to Power Scheme and Hawkshot on August 26 and has since been covered by Snitzel.

The Group 1 Melbourne Cup and Australian Cup hero Fiorente stands at Sun Stud for a fee of $17,600.
