Where only perfection will do.

Pencarrow mare Unequivocal (NZ) (Eminent) collected the third win of her promising staying career in Wednesday’s $17,000 Cambridge Equine Hospital (2000m) on the Polytrack at Cambridge.

The four-year-old has now had 15 starts for three wins, four placings and $70,050 in stakes.

The royally bred Central Coast (Wootton Bassett), part-owned by Sir Peter Vela, stamped himself as a black-type contender of the future with a stylish maiden win in Wednesday’s A$60,000 Myplates Handicap (1250m) at Canterbury.

Pencarrow Stud has bred and sold the winners of two Group One classics for three-year-olds in Australia this season – Feroce (NZ) (Super Seth) in the A$1m Australian Guineas (1600m) at Flemington in March, and now Maison Louis (NZ) (Super Seth) in the A$1m Queensland Derby (2400m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Maison Louis was offered by Pencarrow in Book 1 of Karaka 2023, where syndicators Go Racing bought him for $250,000. He has had seven starts for four wins, a placing and A$679,750 in stakes.

“He came off Pencarrow Stud in New Zealand. We always rush to New Zealand each year to participate in their sales, and we've been well-rewarded, because the second horse comes out of one of their sales as well.”

Pencarrow reached a century of winners for the 2024-25 season when Dresse’ Par Joli (NZ) (Tavistock) took out the $35,000 Wanganui Insurance Brokers (2040m) at Wanganui on Saturday.

The 100 wins by Pencarrow-bred horses this season include no fewer than 10 at Group or Listed level.

Two of those stakes successes have come with homebreds racing in the Pencarrow colours – three-year-old filly Island Life (NZ) (Vadamos) in the $250,000 Group Three Sunline Vase (2100m) at Ellerslie in March and four-year-old mare Tomodachi (NZ) (Tarzino) in the $100,000 Group Three Rotorua Stakes (1400m) in May.
