Quintuple TwinsIn just five months racing for her new connections she has earnt a pleasing $50,995 courtesy of one placing and four wins with Saturday’s win on the quick back up just seven days after her last win.

The daughter of Sebring was patiently ridden by Tina Comignaghi over Riccarton’s 1400m trip to settle early with cover. A gap then opened off the rail when turning into the home straight and with 400m left to go, Quintuple Twins dashed through a to win by a head.

“She’s a smart horse who we haven’t done much with, she is just a handy horse,” mused Karen Parsons.

Originally a $120,000 yearling, Quintuple Twins is a full sister to the Group placed Oink with their dam Coogee Coozifa a three-quarter sister to Gr.1 Hong Kong Mile hero The Duke. The addition of black type to her progressive race record would be a welcome addition to bolster her residual value with Parsons looking to attempt this next month.
