The next in our Horses in Racing series is Indian Pacific (5yo Echoes of Heaven x Rhyme). Known by his friends as Bibble, Dobby and a host of other names, this friendly gelding has taken some time but the penny is starting to drop.
Out of Rhyme (Spinning World x Limerick), a mare we sourced from Rod and Gina at Windsor Park as part of a dispersal they were having, she is a half sister to Gr.2 Eight Carat winner Capella. Rhyme, a winner of 3 races herself with 4 x 2nds and 4 x 3rds, has had 6 to the races, for 5 winners, most winning multiple races.
Indian Pacific has continued to improve each race, and broke maidens over the mile at Whanganui, then 2 races later saluted the judge again in his first time over ground at Otaki 2100m. His half sibling Master Poet won over 3400m and another half sibling Bruno Stars won over 3800m in Australia, so we know he can stay.
Currently on a short spell, he will be back in the very capable hands of trainer Geoff Haigh (Levin) shortly with an eye toward some spring racing over ground, and hopefully up to 2 miles! His current stats are 9 starts, 2 wins and a 3rd with prizemoney of $37k.
