My Pendant as a yearlingThe Danny O'Brien trained filly was second at her first two starts and showed the benefit of race experience and fitness to charge home and witn the 1200 metre contest by a length and a quarter for Craig Williams.

"She's a lovely filly, that's three starts for two seconds and a dominant win today," Williams said.

"I like the way she let down. She's a nice progressive filly."

A $100,000 NZB Premier purchase from the Waikato stud draft for Phil Cataldo Bloodstock, My Pendant runs for a big syndicate of stable clients and runs in the colours of part-owner Mark Chittick of Waikato Stud.
