Australian
bred two year-old filly Dylan's Promise landed a Black Type success overnight
taking out the Listed Devon Air Stakes at Clairwood.
The Charles Laird trained filly took out the 1450 metre event by half a length and
has the overall record of two wins ad a placing from just three starts.
A $35,000 purchase for Heritage Bloodstock from the Erinvale Thoroughbreds
draft at the 2011 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, Dylan's Promise is the fourth
winner from Group I placed Rigoletto mare Madonna, who is the grand-dam of this
season's smart three year-old filly Our Miss Jones, who finished second in the
Group I SAJC Australasian Oaks.
Dylan's Promise is the third Australian bred winner from the first Southern
Hemisphere bred crop of foals by champion racehorse Dylan Thomas and is his third
stakes-winner worldwide joining the ill-fated Furner's Green and Tannery.
A six-time Group I winning son of Danehill, Dylan Thomas (pictured) stands in Australia
this spring at the bargain fee of $13,750.
Other Aussie bred gallopers to go close in Black Type races were two year-old colt
Lionize and four year-old gelding Castlethorpe, both sons of Not a Single Doubt.
Castlethorpe finished second beaten a length and a quarter in the Group I Rising
Sun Gold Challenge Cup over 1600 metres, while Lionize was also second in the
Listed Gatecrasher Stakes beaten a length and three-quarters.
