When angled into the clear by Tommy Berry, she zoomed home to win the Benchmark 72 event over 1250m by three-quarters of a length running away and has now won three of six starts earning over $100,000 in prizemoney with the promise of more to come as she works through her grades.
Bred by Dorrington Farm’s Robert Crabtree, who also raced her mother Catchy, Dakota Vroom was snapped up by Waller Racing/ Hermitage Thoroughbreds for $1.2million from the Bhima Thoroughbreds draft at Inglis Easter.
She is the first foal from Fastnet Rock’s $1.9million earner Catchy, whose second foal is promising Zoustar three year-old filly Floozie, who was retained and is a winner for the Price and Kent training partnership.
Catchy has a two year-old filly by Too Darn Hot (GB) that sold last year for $550,000 at Inglis Easter to Anthony Cummings and is named Catonahotinroof. After missing to Extreme Choice the following year, she produced a filly by Champion European 2YO Colt Pinatubo (IRE) last year and is now in foal to Blue Point (IRE).
