Tivaci Winners Keep Coming

Media Release - Thursday August 26

Young Waikato Stud stallion Tivaci continued on his upward spiral when his son Celevacci struck again at Belmont in Perth on Wednesday, this time over 1700m.

The three-year-old had made a winning debut on the course earlier this month and he was untroubled to keep his unbeaten record intact for trainer Adam Durrant.

Celevacci started a short-priced favourite and he had easily justified his support with rider Clint Johnston-Porter taking him straight to the front and they sailed home untouched to score by two-and-three quarter lengths.

In his brief career, he has also showed he is no one trick pony with his consecutive victories posted on wet and dry ground.

“He has showed good potential,” Durrant said.

“He fell over the line first-up on the heavy track but I liked the way he won today, he was nice and strong. He is going to be a better horse with a bum to follow and something to chase.

“He is big and raw. I like the way he handles pressure and I like the way he finished off.

“He is a beautiful big strapping horse and you’d like to think he’d keep improving as he gets over further.”

Celevacci has won two from two and is pictured as a yearling at Perth MM.

Celevacci, who was Tivaci’s first winner, is out of the unraced Savabeel mare Celebrate, who hails from the famed Waikato Stud family of the dual Group One winner and Champion sire O’Reilly.

He was initially purchased off the gavelhouse.com online platform as a weanling for $14,000 by Western Australian owner Peter Caporn.

Celevacci was subsequently offered through the Western Breeders Alliance’s draft at the Perth Sale where he was purchased by part-owner Durrant for A$60,000. -NZ RAcing Desk
