A stakes-winner at two with form last spring behind top class fillies Amphitrite and Mystic Journey, the Mick Price trained Krone has always had a touch of class despite having won only one of her previous 11 starts.
Having her second run back from a spell, she finished hard for Damien Oliver to
score a neck win in the 1200 metre sprint over Wild Planet with Classique
Legend a brave third."She was finishing well and when they started to tire I thought she could win," Oliver said.
"The fact she can handle wet tracks is a big plus in Sydney at this time of year."
A $120,000 Magic Millions 2YO's in Training purchase for Roll the Dice Racing, Krone has been a great success for her big team of owners and has won over $250,000 in prizemoney with The Championships next month offering her further opportunities for success.
She's been a financial success for all who have had any connection to her as she made $30,000 as a weanling at Magic Millions when offered by her breeders Bell View Park and then $60,000 as a yearling when bought by Rosemont Stud at Magic Millions from the Widden Stud draft.
Krone is the best of two winners from Soft Landing, a half-sister by Al Maher to Group I winner Universal Prince and Universal Queen. She has a yearling colt by Kermadec that made $40,000 at the Adelaide Magic Millions and a weanling filly by Fighting Sun.
Krone is the best offspring to date for Northern Meteor's high class Group I placed son Eurozone, who stands at Newgate Farm.
