STAR 3YOS MAINTAIN TOP FORM

FEBRUARY 2008: Two talented 3-year-old sons of Secret Savings (USA) were again to the fore on the latest weekend of racing staged either side of the Murray.

Cent Per Cent (3g, Secret Savings-Minnie Me) and Viatorian (3g, Secret Savings-Viator) have already made a good impression in stakes events staged for the Classic division since the beginning of the year and once again acquitted themselves well at their latest engagements.

Cent Per Cent, a last start winner of the Listed Gosford Guineas (1200m), scored a determined victory in the Magic Millions Wyong Stakes (1300m) under a confident ride by Danny Nikolic. The 3-year-old‘s program now involves a tilt at the prestigious STC Golden Rose (1400m) at Rosehill Gardens and GCTC Magic Millions 3YO Classic (1400m) at Southport in the second half of March.

Viatorian backed-up his highly creditable minor placing in the Group 3 VRC C.S. Hayes Stakes (1400m) with an equally respectable third in the Group 2 MRC Perri Cutten Cup (1400m). Yet to finish out of the first three in eight starts to date, the 3-year-old son of Secret Savings holds a $15 quote for the Group 1 VRC Australian Guineas, to be staged on March 8 at Flemington.
