Cambridge Stud Purchase Interest in Star Filly Pivotal Ten

Media Release - Sunday March 2

Cambridge Stud principals Brendan and Jo Lindsay have announced the acquisition of a 50% stake in exciting three-year-old filly Pivotal Ten from her owner, Colin Wightman. The daughter of Ten Sovereigns will carry the stud’s black and gold colours in next Saturday’s $3.5m NZB Kiwi at Ellerslie.

“Jo and I are thrilled to be involved with Pivotal Ten,” Brendan Lindsay said.

“Like many people we were very taken by the record she has developed, particularly her win in the Southland Guineas.”

Pivotal Ten has strung together five consecutive wins for trainer Samantha Wynne. In her most recent victory, she posted an impressive 8.8-length margin in the Listed Southland Guineas on February 12.

Wightman is keen to see his star southern filly take on her northern rivals and hopes the partnership will benefit Pivotal Ten’s future on the racetrack and beyond.

“In discussion with Brendan, I was convinced that the partnership was good for the filly’s future as both a racehorse and broodmare given the international pedigree she has,” Wightman said.

“I am pleased to be associated with owners who are as passionate about racing as I am. All we need now is the luck of the Irish.”

Pivotal Ten, who will run in the Selangor Turf Club’s Kiwi slot, joins fellow Lindsay runner First Dance in the showpiece event on Barfoot & Thompson Champions Day.

 “The inaugural running of the NZB Kiwi is going to be part of a historic day for New Zealand racing and we are incredibly excited to have two runners representing us in the Kiwi,” Lindsay concluded.
