Per Incanto, already recognised as one of the major contributors amongst New Zealand stallion ranks over the past decade, entered rarified territory when his son Little Brose won last Saturday’s Gr. 1 Blue Diamond Stakes at Sandown.
Little Brose became just the second New Zealand-sired horse to win Victoria’s premier two-year-old race after Pompeii Court filly Courtza way back in 1989. Waikato Stud-bred Courtza, who was to become the dam of Hall of Fame stallion O’Reilly, went on to seal champion juvenile honours by adding the Golden Slipper Stakes in Sydney.
