Mare pens another winning chapter

Progressive mare Sea Poem advanced her record in style at Sale with another quality performance.

The Ben, Will and JD Hayes-trained four-year-old gave her rivals a healthy start before putting them away with ease at the end of 1100 metres.

“She came from a long way back and that’s her pattern, it was a great win and she was just too strong,” rider Blake Shinn said.

Sea Poem drifted back to second last from a wide barrier before picking up ground across the top and stormed home in the straight to win going away by a length and a-half.

“She really had to work for it, and it was a great ride by Blake,” stable representative Annabel Adams said.

“She’s got great manners and was in fantastic order, she’s absolutely flying.”

Our homebred daughter of Pierata has fashioned the tidy record of three wins and a placing from six appearances.

Sea Poem was bought out of our Inglis Easter Yearling Sale draft for A$160,000 by Lindsay Park and Jamie McCalmont and is a daughter of the imported Street Cry mare Prose Poem.

She is a sister to multiple stakes winner Fencing with their dam the G1 French Oaks winner Latice, whose half-brother Lawman won twice at the highest level ahead of a successful stud career.

Prose Poem’s colt by Sword Of State sold to Te Akau for $50,000 at Karaka earlier this year and she produced another son of our resident sire last season before visiting Chaldean.
