Siren Call (NZ) Completes Pencarrow Treble

12 October 2018

Beautifully bred mare Siren Call (NZ) (New Approach) completed a treble for the Pencarrow Racing team this week when she won the $10,000 Liquourland Masterton 1400 at Tauherenikau on Thursday.

Ridden by Rosie Myers for trainers Steven Ramsay and Julia Ritchie, Siren Call trailed the early leaders before switching to the outside to make her run. The five-year-old stretched out stylishly in the last 150 metres, taking the lead and winning by a length.

Siren Call has now had eight starts for two wins, two placings and $16,300 in prizemoney.

Thursday’s win followed a victory at Taupo by Terra Firma (NZ) (Reliable Man), and a win earlier on the Tauherenikau programme by Wild Child (NZ) (Darci Brahma).

Siren Call was bred by Pencarrow Thoroughbreds Ltd and is raced by Sir Peter Vela.

Her sire New Approach (Galileo) won the Epsom Derby and has sired 40 stakes winners including the Derby winner Masar and 2000 Guineas winner Dawn Approach. Dam Banchee (NZ) (Oratorio) is a half-sister to the multiple Group 1 winner Katie Lee (Pins) and from the family of Group 1 winner Gee I Jane (NZ) (Jahafil).

Carrying Pencarrow’s blue and white hoops, Banchee won six races including the Group 1 Diamond Stakes, Group 2 Matamata Breeders’ Stakes and the race now known as the Karaka Million 3YO Classic. Siren Call is her first foal to race.

With a maiden victory at Otaki on Monday, three-year-old filly Uplifting (NZ) became the fifth winner sired by former high-class Pencarrow racehorse Eminent. More significantly, she became the first Eminent winner to race in those same blue and white hooped colours of Sir Peter Vela.

Uplifting is trained by Steven Ramsay and Julia Ritchie and cleared maiden ranks at her fourth career start in Monday’s $18,500 The Tele Otaki Maiden (2100m). She had recorded a second and a fifth among her three previous appearances and was sent out as a $3.10 favourite for Monday’s race.

Part-owned by Pencarrow principal Sir Peter Vela, blue-blooded colt Kandinsky Abstract (Zoustar) collected the second win of his short career in Monday’s A$65,000 Kia Ora Prague Handicap (1200m) at Warwick Farm.

A smart winner on debut over the same distance at Canterbury last May, Kandinsky Abstract finished a close sixth in the Group Three San Domenico Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill in his second career start. He also took on the Listed Poseidon Stakes (1100m) and Group Two Danehill Stakes (1100m) later in the spring of his three-year-old season.
