Second Stakes Winner for Press Statement

Mark Smith - Saturday April 24

The most expensive yearling by her sire Press Statement, the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained filly Incredulous Dream went a long way in recouping the outlay when she captured Saturday’s Listed H C Nitschke Stakes (1400m) at Morphettville.

Bartend Vorster took the shortest way home on Incredulous Dream to defeat the Nostradamus filly Way To Go Paula by a neck with the favoured Reliable Man filly Annavisto a length back in third.

Purchased by Spicer Thoroughbreds for $340,000 out of the Aquis draft at the 2019 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Incredulous Dream advances her record to four wins and a third from nine starts with earnings of $206,460.
