Perth's celebrated owner-breeders Bob and Sandra Peters capped an astonishing season when they won three races at Belmont in Perth on Saturday.
Their treble included wins in the Listed Belmont Oaks with Mystery Miss and Listed Aquanita Stakes with True Attraction, giving the Peters team a WA record 27 black type wins this season including two of Perth's three Group One races.
"It's what we aim for," said Bob Peters. "It's what our business is all about and we've just made it harder for ourselves to beat it next year."
Peters Investments bred nearly all of their stakes winners placing them second behind Godolphin/Darley as Australia's leading black type breeders this season.
Mystery Miss and True Attraction are trained by Grant and Alana Williams. The couple have prepared 20 of the Peters-owned black type wins this season.
