In the build up to the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale at Karaka, we will pick out three yearlings each day who have had substantial pedigree updates in the past couple of months.
Today, we take a closer look at youngsters whose profiles have been substantially lifted by the recent deeds on the track of close relatives.
Lot 391 Shooting To Win x Secret Scent (NZ) – Offered by Inglewood Stud
Half-sister Secret Allure (NZ) (Zacinto {GB}) drew further attention to this colt when she was successful in last Saturday’s G3 Desert Gold S. to cap off a run of form that included minor placings in both the G2 Royal S. and the G1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas.
They are out of an O’Reilly (NZ) mare, who is a sister to the multiple stakes winner and Group 1 performer Ombre Rose. Also featuring on the pedigree page is the G2 Herbert Power H. winner and G1 BMW S. runner-up Aquidity (NZ) (Avaray {FR}) and his half-brother The Sportsman (NZ) (Kilimanjaro {GB}) who won a G2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup.
