Australian race goers are set to see many more horses by top class sire Super Seth in years to come since his acquisition by Coolmore Australia and he featured at Sandown on Wednesday with a very promising new winner.
Trained by Grahame Begg and ridden by Daniel Stackhouse, three year-old filly Dirty Look was having her second race start in the $100,000 MRC Up and Coming Series Heat 3 Maiden (1300m).
Third on debut last month at Seymour, she took benefit from that outing and was able to slice through a narrow gap to seize a neck victory over older rivals in a thrilling finish.
“We had a few tense moments there at the 200m, but it was a beautiful ride from Daniel and he rode her perfectly to instruction. He he has a good understanding of her,” said stable representative Rebeca Shanks.
“She’s a really lovely filly and we’ve always had a good opinion of her and it’s great to see her do that today for wonderful connections in Matt Bracchi and his team.”
Dirty Look is a homebred for Matt Bracchi and is the third winner from five foals to race from Pearly Whites, a metro winning half-sister by Sharkbite to stakes-winner Travino from the family of Group I VRC Newmarket Handicap and Salinger Stakes winner Rubitano.
Grahame Begg has already enjoyed success with Super Seth as he prepares three year-old filly Ruska Roma, who won the Listed MRC Twilight Glow Stakes back in the spring.
Super Seth is currently settling into his new home at Coolmore after starting his stud career at Waikato Stud in New Zealand.
