Cranbourne trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr will prepare the 3-year-old gelding Bring Forth (NZ) (Turn Me Loose {NZ}) looking for deserved maiden success at Bendigo’s Friday meeting
Bring Forth has been very consistent in his career so far managing five placings, he very much deserves maiden success, and with luck from the wide draw he looks hard to beat.

Bring Forth is by Windsor Park Stud’s stallion Turn Me Loose (NZ) out of the Darci Brahma (NZ) mare Deedee Panache (NZ), she was a useful filly winning twice and placing in the Listed Inglewood Stakes.
Deedee Panache is a half-sister to the talented stayer Sully (NZ) (Reliable Man {GB}), he only managed two wins but was a top level performer managing placings in the G1 Victoria Derby and the G1 Spring Champion Stakes.
Bring Forth was a $150,000 purchase by Mick Price Racing and Breeding from the draft of Windsor Park Stud at the 2023 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale.
Since producing Bring Forth, Deedee Panache has produced a 2-year-old filly by Circus Maximus (Ire) named Millie Grams (NZ), a weanling colt by Profondo, and was served again by Windsor Park Stud’s exciting young sire Profondo earlier this spring.

Glamour Ana, 3-year-old filly (Spirit Of Boom x Ana’s Mail {Anabaa {USA}})
The well-bred Glamour Ana (Spirit Of Boom) is set to chase maiden success at Bendigo on Friday for trainers Ben, Will and JD Hayes.
She has been very consistent in her career so far placing in six of her starts, and she deserves to break through for her first victory.
Glamour Ana is a daughter of Spirit Of Boom and is out of the Anabaa (USA) mare Ana’s Mail. She was a speedy filly winning three times over 900 metres and 1000 metres.

She has already made her mark at stud leaving six individual winners including the talented mare She’s Ideel (Dundeel {NZ}) who was successful in the G3 Kingston Town Stakes and managed placings in the G1 Tancred Stakes, G1 Chipping Norton Stakes, and the G1 Winx Stakes, and the four-time winner and Group 1-placed Elusive Treasure (Northern Meteor).
Ana’s Mail, since producing Glamour Ana, has left a 2-year-old colt by Toronado (Ire), a yearling filly by Dundeel (NZ), a weanling filly by So You Think (NZ), and was most recently served by Don Corleone last spring.
Glamour Ana was purchased by Lindsay Park Racing for $300,000 from the draft of Eureka Stud at the 2023 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
Looking Back
Knobelas (NZ) (Belardo {Ire}) - won with ease at Pakenham, she was very impressive.
