Pretty Baby Wins Listed Oaklands Plate

Tara Madgwick - Saturday Jun 27

The $120,000 Listed SAJC David Peacock Oaklands Plate (1400m) at Morphettville on Saturday featured a big field of 14 and the winner was a maiden going in and Pretty Baby has come out of it a stakes-winner!

Trained by Gordon Richards and Damien Moyle, Pretty Baby had placed at her two previous runs following a debut fourth in the Listed SAJC Cinderella Stakes back in February on debut.

Grey in colour like her sire Barbados, she chimed in with a good finish for Caitlin Tootell to score a half length win over the well fancied Doubtland filly Brevitas.

Bred and retained to race by the McKinnon family, Pretty Baby is the third winner from three foals to race from metro winning Southern Image USA) mare Louisiana, who was also bred and raced by the McKinnons.

Pretty Baby has some pedigree to back up her Black Type win as her third dam is stakes-winner Lady Knockout, who produced stakes-winner Missy Cummings, the dam of Group I winner Mizzy and Group II winner She’s Got Pizzazz, who would have run as favourite in the Group I Tatts Tiara today had she not been ruled out with an issue.

Pretty Baby is the fourth stakes-winner for blueblood Redoute’s Choice stallion Barbados, a son of Group I winner Virage de Fortune.

Louisiana is only covered every second year and she produced a filly last spring by Newhaven Park based sire Cool Aza Beel.
