Seasons was a tragedy beaten when going down narrowly on May 2 at Canterbury when
resuming from a spell, but quickly bounced back to win her next start in a
maiden event at Warwick Farm at the end of last month.Stepped up to a Benchmark 74 for this 1250 metre assignment, Seasons led all the way for Blake Shinn and bolted in to win by more than three lengths with daylight back to the third horse.
"She’s a lovely filly,” said Bridge, who is seldom without a good horse in his Randwick stable.
"She’ll be on a float this Friday headed out for a spell and we’ll see what she can do when she comes back.”
Blake Shinn confessed Seasons had surprised him with the ease of her win.
"We were going to ride her quiet, but she jumped so well I decided to go to Plan C and take up the lead and control the race,” Shinn said.
"She did it so easy. Very nice filly.”
A $110,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Holbrook Thoroughbreds draft for Les Bridge stable client Kim Harding, she runs for a big group of owners and has already banked over $80,000 in prizemoney with two wins and two seconds from four starts.
Seasons is the second winner from stakes-placed Al Maher mare Acouplamas, who comes from the family of Group I winners Blackfriars and Larrocha.
She looks a bright prospect for her sire Sebring, who has had a great season with over 130 winners of nearly $10million in prizemoney including 12 stakes-winners.
The Widden Stud stalwart stands at a fee of $66,000.
