Pretty Perfect

Tara Madgwick - Thursday April 5
Exceptional producer Pretty Penny kept her record perfect at Benalla on Thursday when leaving her sixth winner from six foals to race.

Lot 297 is a Brazen Beau filly from Pretty PennySebring gelding Rezealient has been working up to something and the Hayes / Dabernig trained three year-old was able to break the ice at Benalla on Thursday when scoring over 2046 metres as favourite.

He is a half-brother to Group II winner and $1.2 million earner Sertorius, Group III winners Dollar for Dollar and Clifton Red and stakes-placed I Am Titanium and Fortune of War.

A Group III placed daughter of champion sire Encosta de Lago, Pretty Penny will be represented at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale with Coolmore set to offer her yearling filly by Brazen Beau as Lot 297.

A filly with considerable residual value as one of only two living fillies from Pretty Penny, she may receive further upside in the future as her dam was covered last spring by American Pharoah (USA).
