Deep Impact filly triumphs in Australasian Oaks

Deep Impact filly triumphs in Australasian Oaks

The only time the royally-bred Deep Impact (JPN) filly Glint Of Hope (JPN) missed a place came in the VRC Oaks last spring. That was a distant memory when a Daniel Moor special paved the way for a maiden stakes win in Saturday’s $502,000 Group 1 Grand Syndications Australasian Oaks (2000m) at Morphettville.

From an inside barrier, Moor never went around a horse on the Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained filly.

The daughter of Deep Impact (IRE) kept up a relentless gallop to defeat the admirably brave Rebel Raider filly Barb Raider by a head, with the favoured Frankel filly My Wisper a further long-head back in third.

“She is a Deep Impact, so she has great residual value after winning a Group 1 Oaks.

“She can be a bit temperamental at home. She has her moments and is sometimes is a little hard to catch  

“It is fantastic to Mr Hosaka and her Japanese connections who entrusted us after Tagaloa, another Japanese bred Group 1 winner.

Consigned by Bhima Thoroughbreds to the 2020 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, Glint Of Hope (JPN) was purchased by Asrun for $250,000.

Bred in Japan to southern hemisphere time. Glint Of Hope (USA) has a serious Oaks pedigree and is the best of two winners from as many to race out of the imported Fastnet Rock mare Sacred Sight, a half-sister to Group 1 Prix de Cadran and Group II Goodwood Cup winner Colour Vision (Rainbow Quest).

Glint Of Hope is the 185th black-type winner for the late, great Deep Impact (JPN).

Novara Park's Staphanos by Deep Impact oldest progeny were sought after as yearlings at Sales in New Zealand and Australia.

He represents incredible value at $7,000+GST.
