One to Watch – Wodonga

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 10
Pierro is a good sire to follow at this time of year given the way his three year-olds jumped out of the ground last spring and this impressive winner from the Tony McEvoy stable at Wodonga on Monday is a name to note.

Pierro Belle as ayearlingPierro Belle finished last and pulled up lame when making her debut at Flemington back in February in a stakes race won by Prairie Fire, but put the memory of that inglorious outing behind her with a very impressive return to form.

She jumped well and stalked the leader before surging past to win the 1100 metre by more than two lengths as favourite.

Entered for the Group I MRC Thousand Guineas, Pierro Belle was a $300,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Newgate Farm draft for McEvoy Mitchell Racing and runs for PM Racing Enterprise.

Bred by SF Bloodstock and foaled and raised at Newgate Farm, Pierro Belle is the second winner from classy Group III winning Testa Rossa mare Pane in the Glass, who was also Group I placed.

Newgate sold a Deep Field yearling filly from Pane in the Glass at Inglis Easter this year with McEvoy Mitchell again signing the docket at $360,000.

Pane in the Glass has a yearling filly by Snitzel and was covered by Newgate Farm’s Golden Slipper winner Capitalist last spring.
