A horse named after his lot number at the Karaka sales delivered a black type win for his connections in Saturday’s Listed Galilee Series Final (2400m) at Caulfield.
Won Won Too, a son of Tavistock who went through the 2016 Ready to Run Sale at Karaka as Lot 112 for $200,000, beat his stablemate Rezealient (Sebring) by a long neck in a 1-2 finiosh for the Lindsay Park team.
David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig train Won Won Too (Tavistock x Celtic Dream by Casual Lies) for Hong Kong owner Eric Wong. He has now had seven starts for two wins and $111,915 prize-money.Won Won Too, who was offered by Riversley Park at the Ready to Run Sale, is the 16th stakes winner by Tavistock, the son of Montjeu standing at Cambridge Stud.
Tom Dabernig said the gelding could be aimed at either the Queensland Derby or South Australian Derby."The sire Tavistock seems to get them over a trip and gets plenty of three-year-old classic winners so I think he could be an ideal Derby horse for one of those races,” said Tom Dabernig.
