Our Exceedance filly Dance To The Boom did us proud when she launched her career in perfect style at Kembla Grange.The three-year-old had placed in both of her most recent lead-up trials for trainer Bjorn Baker and produced a professional display on debut over 1200 metres. She cleared the gates quickly to sit on the leader’s quarters under rider Keagan Latham and put the issue beyond doubt 200 metres from home, striding clear to win by 1.3l.Dance To The Boom was bred by Rosemont Stud and we purchased her out of the Victorian operation’s draft at last year’s Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for A$250,000.She is the first foal of the unraced I Am Invincible mare Bim Bam Boom who is a half-sister to the G1 Easter Handicap winner Albany Reunion and the Listed Champagne Stakes winner Fast Dragon, also placed in the G1 Herbie Dyke Stakes.It’s not a family short of black type winners with Royal Discretion, Sun City, Roulettes, Parlophone and Vezalay all featuring on a decorated pedigree page.

Talented but temperamental mare Lovazou was on her best behaviour at Caulfield and she duly made it three wins on the bounce.Our daughter of Zoustar is unbeaten this preparation for trainer Danny O’Brien with her latest success another impressive performance over 1400 metres in the hands of Carleen Hefel.However, it hasn’t all been plain sailing with the four-year-old who can be a handful at the starting gates.Stable representative Jack Howard paid tribute to the parts played by Hefel and education and pre-training expert Julien Welsh.“Full credit to Carleen and Julien, it’s been well publicised that she can be a tricky mare,” he said.“It’s a nice time of the year for her to be in such a rich vein of form so we’ll see how she pulls up and try and find something else for her, potentially she might get out further.”Lovazou jumped well to keep the leaders within her sights and she rounded off strongly to take her record to four wins from eight starts and a debut second in the Listed Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes.We secured her out of Kia Ora Stud’s draft at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for A$400,000.She is a daughter of the Lonhro mare Lovani, a multiple winner and Group placegetter who is a half-sister to the Listed Lord Stakes winner Holbein and a sister to the G1 All-Aged Stakes runner-up Amenable.The second dam is the Irish-bred Danehill Dancer mare Caribbean Sunset, who was a three-time Group 3 winner and also placed three times at Group 1 level.

I’m All In showed his fighting qualities at Ruakaka where he gained a brave shared victory over 1100 metres.Trained for us by Stephen Marsh, the three-year-old son of Zoustar didn’t begin the best and settled second last in a small field.Rider Sam Spratt urged him forward three wide near the turn and he stuck grimly to his task to dead-heat for first.The well-related I’m All In has made a bright start to his career with a brace of wins and two placings from his five appearances.He is a son of the I Am Invincible mare Fuld’s Bet, a talented performer who won on four occasions, including the Listed WATC Gimcrack Stakes as a two-year-old.She is a half-sister to the RL Inglis Nursery winner Irish Bet and the multiple winner and G1 Queensland Derby runner-up Rockstar Rebel.Fuld’s Bet also has a juvenile daughter of Hello Youmzain named You Bet and has a yearling colt by Sword Of State and is back in foal to our Group 1-winning son of Snitzel.
