Third Winner for Tivaci

Tara Madgwick - Friday August 20

Tivaci filly Never Been Kissed made the perfect start to her career when winning on debut over 1000m at Hawkesbury on Thursday.

Tivaci is the sire of Never Been Kissed.

The Waikato Stud-bred and raced filly had been given two trials by trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott to fit her for her first trip to the races and she delivered in style.

Never Been Kissed was three wide in the body of the field and when rider Tim Clark asked her to lengthen stride in the straight she responded positively and was too strong over the concluding stages.

She is the first foal of the Savabeel mare Movie, who was successful on three occasions, and is a half-sister to the three-time Group Two winner Ocean Emperor.

This is also the family of the multiple Group One-winning Savabeel mares Probabeel and Savvy Coup.

Never been Kissed is the third winner for the Matamata farm’s emerging young stallion Tivaci. - NZ Racing Desk
