Another winning debut

VOLANDO DENARIO became the second winner from Panspacificflight’s three-year-old crop when, just like Naholo three weeks earlier, she won on debut.

The filly’s win came at the Cambridge meeting on 06 December. Trained by Arna Donnelly, she was given a nice run by Scott Phelan before swooping on the leaders on the turn and holding out the favourite Kingsman by a neck in 2:46 for the mobile 2200 metres.

Bred by Mark and Pauline O’Connor from the Bettor’s Delight mare Ergo Denario, Volando Denario is a full sister to the two-win mare Schwartz Denario. The well-performed Panspacificflight mare Last Flight In (11 wins) is out of Ergo Denario’s dam, Orse M Denario.

Naholo and Volando Denario are two of just 14 surviving progeny from Panspacificflight’s three-year-old crop.

 

 

 

And then there were 101 wins

ARDEN’S CONCORD raised the first 100 wins for Panspacificflight’s first New Zealand-bred crop and then quickly scored the 101st win as well.

Two weeks after posting his first Australian win, the six-year-old gelding won his next start at Maryborough in Victoria on 30 November. This time connections advised stewards he would be driven less aggressively. He was taken back off the gate from his wide draw but was taken to the front mid-race by driver Greg Sugars and held on to win by half a head. He ran the 2190 metres in a 1:58.6 mile rate with the last quarter in 27.8.

Arden’s Concord, previously with Otago trainer Graeme Anderson, has now won eight times from 24 starts with five seconds and two thirds.
