Originally trained in Victoria by Mick Price, Threeood was switched to Joe Pride in 2019 and he has done a great job nurturing her through her classes with this assignment her first attempt at a Black Type race since joining his stable.

Threeood enjoyed a good run from barrier one with Rachel King in the saddle and cruised clear to win by a length taking her overall record to six wins and nine placings from 28 starts with prizemoney topping $343,000.



Bred by Gilgai Farm, Threeood is a half-sister to stakes-placed Infinite Wisdom and is the best of three winners from Sencircles, an unraced half-sister by Street Sense (USA) to Group III winner Decircles from the family of champions Elvstroem, Haradasun, Starspangledbanner and Highland Reel (IRE).

Sencircles was on-sold by Gilgai Farm in 2019 for just $16,000 and has missed  the past three seasons in a row.

Threeood is the 16th stakes-winner for Widden Stud’s ever reliable sire Star Witness, who has 10 entries for Magic Millions 2021.
