Smart sprinter in Trentham romp

Ima Brazen One was in a league of her own at Trentham where she made light of her 58.5kg impost to run her rivals into the deck.

The speedy daughter of Brazen Beau was quickly into stride to dispute the pace and when rider Erin Leighton slipped her more rein into the straight, she powered clear to be out on her own by three and a-half lengths at the end of 1200 metres.

The Mike Breslin-prepared five-year-old has now won her last two on the bounce and seven in total from 21 appearances.

The Awapuni trainer secured Ima Brazen One out of our draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale for $100,000 and earlier this year with InToWin Syndication bought her half-sister by Sword Of State for $120,000.

They are daughters of the winning More Than Ready mare Imanana, who is back in foal to Sword Of State, and she is out of the G1 Railway Handicap winner Imananabaa.
