Smart 2yo DARCI’S DREAM ( Darci Brahma-Sweet Dreams Baby) takes the first steps toward making her owners’ dreams come true, when she makes her race day debut over 880 metres at Ellerslie on Saturday. A smart trials winner at Te Teko in August, ” Baby” as she is nicknamed, has continued to impress trainer Jason Bridgman with her natural speed and ability since. ” We certainly have the Karaka Million in our sights for her, so this debut run at Ellerslie is very much a first step toward that target,” he says.
Fortuna Director, John Galvin, acquired DARCI’S DREAM at Karaka 2013 Select Sale and is raced by the Fortuna Darci’s Dream Syndicate, an ownership group of 30 people. She will be ridden on Saturday by Te Akau Racing’s Apprentice, Michael Dee, who claims 3kgs.
