Currently
leading the Australian first season sires division by winners and earnings is
ill-fated Beneteau, who added a new winner to his tally at Wyong on Thursday.
Prepared on the track by Jeff Englebrecht, two year-old filly Lady Jivago won a
trial on her home track on January 5 and was able to repeat the effort under
race conditions.
She did best in a competitive finish to win the 1000 metre maiden by a neck.
A $14,000 Inglis Classic Winter Book purchase from the Luskin Park draft, Lady
Jivago was bred by Arrowfield and partners and sold initially as a weanling for
$20,000.
She is the first foal of Hussterics, a winning three-quarter sister-in-blood to
stakes-placed Breakfast in Bed from the Singles Bar branch of the Easy Date family
featuring leading sire Not a Single Doubt.
Hussterics has a yearling filly by Beneteau, a colt foal by Snitzel and was
covered last year by All American.
Lady Jivago is the fifth winner from 13 runners for Group III winning Redoute's
Choice son Beneteau, who stood for two seasons at Arrowfield Stud before his
premature death in 2013.
Beneteau has half a dozen entries for the 2015 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale and
one for Inglis Premier.
