Trained by Matt Laurie and ridden by Jamie Mott, he was sent out favourite and repaid connections for their patience.

“It’s been a long time coming as he’s had a few issues to overcome, an eye issue actually which put him out for a while and he’s probably lucky to be here,” revealed Matt Laurie.

“We had to geld him, he was a bit of a painful colt, so it’s good to get him to a race. He responded well under pressure and will be better for the outing. I think he will be a nice horse when he gets out over ground.”

Mariota is the first foal of multiple Group winning mare Oregon‘s Day, a half-sister to Group II winner Talent Show and stakes-winner Oregon Spirit from Group III winner Oregon Seal.

Oregon’s Day was also offered at the 2021 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale where she sold for $1million to Mitchell Bloodstock (FBAA)/Segenhoe Stud.

Segenhoe sold an I Am Invincible yearling filly from her at Inglis Easter this year for $525,000 to Toking / Stephen Gray Racing / Wattle Bloodstock and she is in foal to Snitzel after missing the previous year.
