Fifth Winner for Beneteau

Tara Madgwick - Thursday January 22
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.

BeneteauPrepared 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.
