Western Australian Flyer Makes Her Mark in the East

Mark Smith - Sunday March 1

As the winner of her last two starts at Listed level in Perth Fabergino crossed the Nullarbor with a big reputation, which was enhanced when she led all the way under Jordon Childs in Saturday’s Listed Bob Hoysted Stakes (1000m) at Flemington.

The 5yo daughter of Maschino stopped the clock at 56.55 in defeating Embrace Me (Shamexpress) by one and a quarter lengths with Haunted (Lonhro) a short-head back in third.Fabergino is too slick for the locals - image Grant Courtney

Fabergino’s 29-year-old trainer Tiarrna Robertson said it was a thrill of a lifetime.

"Just to get a runner here is amazing but to come over and get a winner is just an absolute thrill, for the stable and all the connections," Robertson told AAP.

"She's a free-rolling horse who has always jumped and led. But to see her do it here at racing headquarters was just amazing.

"It's hard to measure them up until she has competed against them, but she's beaten what she had to at home and we came here thinking hopefully we had the right horse. And she measured up today.

"Now that we know we can bring her over here and be competitive hopefully we might be able to try something a bit harder next time."

Fabergino advances her record to 8 wins and 2 thirds from 11 starts with earnings of $434,000

She is a first-crop daughter of Alwyn Park’s Encosta De Lago stallion Maschino and is raced by a partnership that includes her breeder Jim Anderson.

Anderson also raced Maschino and bought Fabergino’s dam Miss Razyana (Danzero) through Michael Flannery Bloodstock for $36,000 at the 2013 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale.

John Chalmers Bloodstock outlaid $50,000 for a full-sister to Fabergino at the recent Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale.

Miss Razyana won her first two starts at Canterbury but when she bled in the 2008 Listed Nivison Stakes at Randwick she was sent to North America where she won in Canada before being repatriated.

The daughter of Danzero slipped to Maschino in 2018 and was covered by him again last spring.

Maschino enjoyed further stakes success later in the day when his 3yo daughter Lonsdale Lady won the Listed Ascot 1000 Guineas at Ascot to credit her sire with his fourth stakes-winner.
