Bowness Stud based D’Argento has been churning out the winners this season with 45 in Australia and he featured last night at Happy Valley where the Danny Shum trained three year-old Leading Agility opened his account.
Leading Agility has been working towards a win with fourth placings at his past two starts and found conditions to suit in the 1200m Class four event with Lyle Hewitson guiding him to a length and a half win at his sixth race start.
A $50,000 Magic Millions National Yearling Sale purchase for Headline Bloodstock Pty Ltd from the Bowness Stud draft, Leading Agility is the best of four winners from Sarawak, a winning Hussonet (USA) mare tracing back to the family of Group I winner and sire Charge Forward.
D’Argento has had just five runners in Hong Kong and three of them have won with Leading Agility joining Lucky Twin Stars and Argento Ocean as smart winners in this highly competitive region.
A Group I winning son of So You Think from a daughter of champion sire Redoute’s Choice , D’Argento is one of the few grey stallions available to breeders and is a proven source of winners and stakes horses.
Bowness Stud will offer a dozen yearlings by D’Argento at the MM National Yearling Sale, click here to see them.
