Hinchinbrook
was in winning form at Geelong on Tuesday with an impressive victory for
Shining Brooke, who carried the Prime Thoroughbreds colours to victory.
Prepared by David Hayes and Tom Dabernig, Shining Brooke improved sharply on
her first two unplaced runs in good company to dash away and win the 1300 metre
maiden by more than two lengths.
Foaled and raised at Yarraman Park, Shining Brooke is the second foal and
second winner for Melbourne metropolitan winning Anabaa (USA) mare Shine on
Anna, who was also raced by Prime Thoroughbreds and trained by David Hayes.
Shine on Anna comes from an international family that features current star
import and dual Group I winner Contributer (IRE).
Yarraman Park sold the current yearling from Shine on Anna, another filly by
Hinchinbrook, at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale this year for $85,000 to
James Bester Bloodstock.
Shining Brooke is the fifth winner for Hinchinbrook, whose service fee for 2015
remains at $16,500.
