Greg Hickman has trained plenty of good horses over the years with the highest earner of them all being his Group I winning sprinter Pierata, who banked over $4.5million and the stallion delivered a lucrative winner for the trainer at Hawkesbury on Thursday.
Four year-old gelding Superata has had a frustrating run of minor placings in his career to date, but with a $100,000 Inglis bonus up for grabs today he put the best foot forward for Nash Rawiller.
Superata ran the 1400m out strongly and stuck to his task to win by half a length to the delight of his owners.
Superata was bought by Hickman for $75,000 from the Vinery Stud draft at the Inglis Classic Highway Session and is the first winner for Spice Isle, a half-sister by Hinchinbrook to Group II placed Press Report.
Superata is the 49th Australian winner this season for Pierata, who has been given an amazing opportunity since transferring to Yulong and has covered many of their best mares in recent years.
His foals born in 2025 include youngsters from household names like Away Game, Chain of Lightning, Duais, Espiona,Foxplay, Greysful Glamour, Icebath, Imperatriz, In Her Time, Prowess, Viddora and Winning Ways.
