G3 Manawatu Breeders' S., NZ$85,000, 2000m
Justifying favouritism with this easy win off a nice run, Aromatic (NZ) (Sacred Falls {NZ}) did a good job recording the fifth win of her 26-start career and her second at stakes level on the back of her G3 Counties Cup success last spring.
One of the seven stakes winners for her late sire, she is one of the three winners produced by the G3 Taranaki Cup winner Vickezzchardonnay (NZ) (Don Eduardo {NZ}), also dam of the stakes-placed Splendido (NZ) (O'Reilly {NZ}).
Served last spring by Sneaking To Win having had the previous season off, Vickezzchardonnay is one of the eight winners for her unplaced dam Our Rosalee (NZ) (Conquistarose {USA}) - also dam of the Listed winner Fifty Fifty (NZ) (Justice Prevails) and The Mighty Finn (NZ) (McGinty {NZ}).
She also has ayet to be named fillies by Eminent (Ire) (a 2-year-old) and Wrote (Ire) (yearling).
Bred by T.V Rider, Aromatic was purchased by David Ellis for NZ$160,000 from the Milan Park draft at the 2018 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Premier Yearling Sale.
