Divine Prophet Off The Mark

Mark Smith - Saturday December 26

Beaten into second place at her first two starts, the Will Clarken-trained Bleriot would not be denied in her third over 1050m at Morphettville on Boxing Day to claim the honour as the first winner for Aquis Farm’s Divine Prophet.

Bleriot a $160,000 Magic Millions Yearling

Ridden by Karl Zechner, Bleriot tracked Elteecee in the run before overpowering the Pierro filly in the closing stages to win by three-quarters of a length with the Stratum Star filly Cassowary two and a half lengths back in third.

A $160,000 purchase by J S Bloodstock Consultancy/Will Clarken Racing out of the Aquis Farm draft at the 2020 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Bleriot is the first foal of the stakes-placed Jet Spur mare Jetting To London.

Purchased by Aquis for $160,000 at the 2017 Inglis Chairmans Sale, Jetting To London was purchased by Mark Wooldridge for just $2,000 at this years National Broodmare Sale.

The son of Choisir stands at Aquis Farm in the Hunter Valley for a fee of $22,000.
