Outstanding mare aimed at Breeders’ Crown
OUTSTANDING mare Amazing Dream will enjoy “a couple of light days” before embarking on her next feature campaign.
Registering her 10th Group One victory by capturing last night’s Queen of the Pacific at Tabcorp Park Melton, Amazing Dream will be kept fresh ahead of the Breeders’ Crown.
Trainer Nathan Purdon confirmed the daughter of Bettors Delight has been aimed the futurity, beginning with the Breeders’ Crown Graduate Mares’ Free-For-All on November 13.
The $50,000 Breeders’ Crown Championship a week later is also part of Amazing Dream’s agenda.
“She will go around in a Breeders’ Crown race in about two weeks time,” Purdon said. “There is another one for her the following week as well.
“I’ll give her a couple of light days after last night’s run and then get her wound up again.
“After the Crown she will have a week or so off before getting ready for the Hunter Cup.
“She does so well in the paddock and gets really fat really fast, so no more than 10 days off for her!”
Driven by Anthony Butt during her latest triumph, Amazing Dream worked to the lead from barrier three before cruising to a four-metre win from her stablemate, Spellbound.
Rating 1:57.1 over 2760 metres, the four-year-old took her record to 24 wins and 14 placings from 43 starts for earnings of $1,379,010.
Although four-and-a-half metres away third, The Panthiest ended the night a winner!
Thanks to her second and first during the first two legs, The Panthiest was declared the ‘Triple Crown Champion’ for trainer David Miles, earning connections a $10,000 bonus.
