Silver for Oliveira

Promising Tintin In America two-year-old filly Oliveira brought up her first success at only her third start when she led throughout in harness racing’s Bathurst Gold Tiara Silver Consolation on Wednesday night (March 23).

She won effortlessly by 11.3 metres, rating 1:58.7 for 1730 metres.

Tintin In America was also represented by two ‘new’ New Zealand winners in Grinning Again (Addington) and Paradise Valley (Forbury Park).

Warrawee Needy, the former world champion, left winners in both hemispheres last week. Esther Rising, a three-year-old filly, won her second race at Junee, while High Flyin Jamie scored in 1:55.4 at Woodbine Mohawk Park, Canada.

Fear The Dragon, the North America Cup winner, produced another winner from his first American crop when the three-year-old The Fear Is Real emerged successful in 1:53.6 at Northfield Park, Ohio.

Million Dollar Cam sired repeat winners in Whatta Conk (Penrith) and Kay Nora Shannon (Marburg), while the Renaissance Man mare Dynamite Dolly won her second race at Bunbury.

Tintin In America, Warrawee Needy, Fear The Dragon, Million Dollar Cam and Renaissance Man are members of the Yirribee Pacing Stud sire roster.
