Deep Field is the sire of Dig DeepTrained by Daniel and Ben Pearce and ridden by Jarrod Noske, Dig Deep improved off his last start fourth in the Listed WATC Perth Stakes to arrive with a well timed run and claim victory.

"You go to the sales to buy a horse and get a group of people together… this is what you dream about," said Daniel Pearce.
