\u201cIt was a huge effort,\u201d James said. \u201cShe was three wide facing the breeze the whole way outside the leaders. If she\u2019d fallen in the ground at the 300m, you wouldn\u2019t have blamed her.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a mare that could be worthy of sitting tight and setting for some of the better sprints in the summertime.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe owner said he\u2019s not solid on mating her again if she can perform, and she\u2019s certainly done that, so we might have a bit of fun in the spring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grinzinger Moon is out of Redoute\u2019s Choice mare Taqdees, a daughter of stakes performer Later Gator and a three-quarter sister to Group 2 winner Wee Nessy, Group 2 performer Snapback and Group 3 performer Adios.<\/p>\n
She has now won six of her 10 starts and earned $102,000 in prizemoney.<\/p>\n
Her victory capped a pleasing day for the stable, which started on a bad note when it was forced to scratch race favourite Excite out of the Listed Champagne Stakes (1600m) following a spike in his temperature.<\/p>\n
Incandescent avenged his stablemate when taking out the juvenile feature and Grinzinger Moon secured a stable double with her victory later on the card, while Arwen and Cosmic Dream also pleased with their placings.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, across the Tasman, stablemate Solid Gold got her Group1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) campaign off to a pleasing start at Doomben when running fifth in the Group 3 Rough Habit Plate (2000m).<\/p>\n
