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.
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.
