Presto Powers Home At Sha Tin (January
11 2010)
WS-bred and sold Presto furthered his Hong Kong record
at Sha Tin last night when he was successful over 1400
metres. Trained by John Size and ridden by champion
jockey Douglas Whyte, the six-year-old has five wins
and nine placings from his 25 starts and earned more
than NZ$720,000.
By former stud resident Danasinga, Presto was bought
from WS's 2005 Premier Sale draft at Karaka in 2006
for $60,000. He is out of the stakes-winning mare Rampage
Queen, who was also Gr 1 placed in the New Zealand Oaks,
from the family of Gr 1 winners Eva Grace (Avondale
Cup) and Deebee Belle (New Zealand Stakes).
The feared combination of Size and Whyte had earlier
struck at the meeting with Pins' promising son National
Treasure. The three-year-old had placed in both his
previous starts before breaking his maiden over 1400
metres last night.
