First stakes winner for I'm All The Talk .
Watch Me Dance (2 f ex Coventry To Rio by Oratorio) captured Saturday's WA Sires' Produce Stakes (Gr 3, 1400m) to provide his Mungrup Stud-based first season sire I'm All The Talk (Stratum) with his first winner.
The filly defeated Dom To Shoot (Shooting To Win) by a neck with a half-length back to Em Tee Aye (I Am All The Talk) in third.
"At the 500 metres I thought she might have been in trouble if she didn't get out, but it was a very good ride by Shaun," said winning trainer Steve Wolfe.
"She did everything right and it's just wonderful to be able to train these types of horses.
"Now I can put her in the paddock and I can go into relax mode for a few weeks."
Watch Me Dance was bought for $34,000 by Commercial Bloodstock Services from the 2019 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale from the draft of Mungrup Stud. In winning Saturday's race, Watch Me Dance took her record to three wins and three placings, all at stakes level, from six starts with her earnings totalling $361,100.
She is the only winner out of the stakes placed Oratorio (Stravinsky) mare Coventry To Rio who is a half-sister to three winners being out of the unraced Sent To Coventry (Bellotto). Her third dam produced the Group 3 winner West End (Zephyr Bay).
I'm All The Talk is one of two winners for her sire, with the stakes-placed gelding Em Tee Aye the other.
