The John O'Shea-trained Mascherata breaks her maiden at Scone
Waikato Stud stallion Tivaci (High Chaparral) sired his first winner on Wednesday when his son Celevacci (3 g ex Celebrate by Savabeel) broke his maiden over 1400 metres at Belmont Park and on Thursday the son of High Chaparral (Sadler's Wells) bought up winner number two when Mascherata (3 f ex Fancy Dress by Savabeel) broke her maiden over 1200 metres at Scone.
Trained by John O'Shea Mascherata, who was bought by her trainer for NZ$150,000 from the draft of her breeder, Waikato Stud, at Book 1 of the New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale in 2020, scored a length and a half victory over Loversfield (Deep Field).
"She's always been a filly that we have thought quite highly of. She's come back well and I thought her trial was fantastic the other day," he said.
"I'm very, very happy with her and really looking forward to watching the progeny of Tivaci over the next 12 months."
