Promising Two year Old filly, DARCI’S DREAM turned her owner’s dreams into reality when producing a strong tough win in a 1000 metre event at Te Aroha on Friday 14th . Drawn at barrier three in a field of seven, DARCI’S DREAM was ridden on the speed by leading jockey, Matt Cameron. Turning for home, Cameron sat tight but then released the breaks as challenges were mounted by other runners. In a finish described by Fortuna Director, John Galvin, as a “real dogfight”, DARCI’S DREAM prevailed in a four way finish. ” Full credit to Matt Cameron for his vigour in the finish,” said Galvin, ” that made all of the difference.” Click HERE to watch Race Replay
Owned by the Fortuna Darci’s Dream Syndicate, (an ownership group of 30 individuals) and acquired by Fortuna Syndications at the 2013 Karaka Select Sale for $45,000, DARCI’S DREAM ( Darci Brahma-Sweet Dreams Baby), nicknamed “Baby” by her owners, has always show early promise, winning a trial in August 2013 before making a race day debut at Ellerslie at the end of October. She was given a break after her solid but unplaced performance that day and commenced a new preparation pre Christmas before winning another trial on 4th February ahead of tackling the Te Aroha event. “From here, we will keep pressing on to the better quality races,” said John Galvin, “she deserves an opportunity to be tested against the best 2yo’s and subject to her coming through Friday’s race in good shape, she will get her opportunities.”
DARCI’S DREAM is trained by NZ’s leading Trainer, Jason Bridgman of Te Akau Racing.
Fortuna acquired the full sister to DARCI’S DREAM at the Karaka 2014 Select Sale; shares still available in her @ $8,000 per 5% share.
