Within The Law (Aus) (Lucky Vega {Ire}) took her second race victory in the 1000m R. Listed Inglis Nursery in Randwick on Saturday. The daughter of Contract Signed (Aus) (Dundeel {NZ}), trained by Björn Baker, accelerated well in the final phase and held back Cobra Club (Aus) (Frigid Aza Beel {NZ}) by almost half a length (video).
“It was a good week and great work from Björn and Darby [Racing] and the team to find these races,” said Luke Hilton, Baker’s race director. Owner Darby Racing Syndications also owns runner-up Cobra Club, trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott. Former Darby Racing runner She Will Reign (Aus) (Manhattan Ran {Aus}) used Inglis Nursery as a springboard to win the 2017 G1 Golden Slipper.
“We sent her to Melbourne the first time and had to travel and she got off scot-free down there and did a really good job. Since coming home, she has done nothing but improve. It was a really tough win today because she’s not very high, but she showed a lot of heart.”
“We have to think about it carefully [the Golden Slipper]said Hilton of the filly who won the Listed Inglis Banner on her debut at Flemington on November 9th. “The world is her oyster at the moment. She is constantly developing and is an truthful mare. She took care of everything and was so professional.
“She’s not one to stand out at home, but she took everything we threw at her.”
Bred by Yulong Investments, who offered her at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, the bay was purchased by Darby Racing for A$30,000. The placed Contract Signed has a one-year-old colt by Tagaloa (Aus) and was bred back to Lucky Vega. Third dam So Gorgeous (Aus) (Brief Truce) was a four-time Group winner in Australia, producing Group 1 winner Sterling City (Aus) (Nadeem {Aus}) and G2 Tulloch Stakes hero Tipungwuti (Aus) (Fusaichi Pegasus). .
Yulong's Lucky Vega, who stands at the Irish National Stud in the Northern Hemisphere and commutes to Yulong in Australia, has his first runners in the Southern Hemisphere this year. The G1 Phoenix Stakes hero was represented by two winners of three races, with Vega For Luck (NZ) already listed in Fresh Zealand.
