Where only perfection will do.

The A$60,000 Kia Western Region Dealer of the Year Handicap (1800m) was the second win of a five-start career for Chispa, who has finished second, third and fourth in her other three appearances. She has earned A$63,700 in stakes for her owner and breeder Sir Peter Vela.

Trainer Chris Waller has nominated Chispa for the Group One Queensland Oaks (2200m) at Eagle Farm on June 6, and Wednesday’s performance more than justified continuing in that direction.

Chispa was ridden by James McDonald.

With a seven-figure price tag and superb bloodlines, exciting prospect Condone (Justify) opened his winning account at Warwick Farm on Wednesday for a Coolmore syndicate that includes Pencarrow principal Sir Peter Vela.

More than three months after starting her career with a pair of promising summer placings, Pencarrow filly Biding My Time (NZ) (Circus Maximus) made a bold return to racing in the $25,000 Trackside.co.nz 1200 at Ellerslie on Monday.

The David Greene-trained three-year-old made her debut with a second at Taupo on December 28, then filled the same placing again at Te Rapa on January 16.

The Pencarrow brand was carried to victory in one of the South Island’s richest races when Toa Haka (NZ) (Iffraaj) took out the $350,000 TAB Southern Alps Challenge (1600m) at Riccarton on Saturday.

Toa Haka was bred by Pencarrow Thoroughbreds Ltd and offered in the Pencarrow draft in Book 1 of Karaka 2021, where he was bought by Greene Racing for $40,000
