On Sunday, Casino Seventeen became the 23rd stakes-winner for his sire when taking out the $125,000 Listed Premeirs Cup (2200m) at Pinjarra for Grant and Alana Williams.

The five year-old gelding was a hot favourite and won by more than five lengths taking his overall record to seven wins and 14 placings from 28 starts with prizemoney topping $380,000.

Casino Seventeen was a $45,000 Magic Millions 2YO’s in Training purchase after selling for just $9,000 from the Widden Stud draft at Inglis Classic as a yearling.

Bred by Grant Briscoe, Casino Seventeen is the best of three winners from Denman mare Tikal, who comes from the family of multiple Group winner Ferragamo.
