Two Winners in Three Days for Portland Sky

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Sep 15

Widden Stud’s young sire Portland Sky has made a strong start to the new season with two winners in the past three days adding to his tally.

A Group I winning sprinter by Deep Field, Portland Sky has had comparatively few runners, but with four winners from 14 starters this season is making his presence felt.

Restless Beauty scored at Moruya on Tuesday and has now two of his past three starts, while the Robbie Griffiths trained filly Portland Rose won at Kilmore on Sunday.

She was having just her third start and took the 1100m maiden by more than two lengths.

Portland Sky is priced at an affordable $8,800 this spring.
