TSR Weekly Wrap | 23 May 2022
Four starters for four winners.
That was the story on our home track in Ballarat on Friday night.
Four-year-old mare Mosaic Art saluted at her first Australian start after arriving from New Zealand.
The daughter of Art Major had won two of 15 starts in NZ and this was her first run since the end of March.
She led and gave Mark Pitt an easy drive.
Keayang Kamikaze also made all the running to make it two wins from as many starts for us.
The 4yo is a real looker too, with a striking big blaze making him a stand-out.
He’s only lightly raced, with these runs his first in a year.
Von Art and Heavenly Sign completed the quartet of victories.
Von Art has had three starts for use for three wins, including being part of that extraordinary night we had at Launceston on April 16.
With Heavenly Sign, it is always fun to have success with a foal of a mare which we won with.
Heavenly Sign is the first foal out of the world record breaking Heavens Trend, which won 21 times and went 1:52.1 as a 2yo at Menangle in 2015.
Already a group 1 winner as a 2yo, the now 4yo Treachery landed the group 3 Richmond Lass at Melton on Saturday night.
She’s building an imposing record, which now stands at nine wins from 22 starts and $200,000 in earnings.
Treachery has had two starts this season for two wins at Melton.
