Moonee Valley, January 3 - Scoring another dominant win at Moonee Valley on Saturday evening was talented Testa Rossa gelding Reldas, an $82,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Cameron Cooke Bloodstock from the draft of Mill Park, who will offer his half-sister at MM Adelaide this year.
Prepared by Robert Smerdon, Reldas was having his third run back from a spell after being gelded and powered to the line to win over 1200 metres in Benchmark 78 company by two and a half lengths.
With four wins and four placings from 10 starts and earnings topping $108,000, Reldas looks set for a good campaign over the summer months.
Bred by Mill Park in partnership, Reldas is a half-brother to brilliant stakes-winner Victory Chant and is the second winner from Classic Status, a half-sister by Marscay to Group I MRC Thousand Guineas winner Serious Speed and to the dam of Group II winner Majestic Music.
Mill Park will offer his half-sister by Magic Albert as Lot 38 at the 2015 Magic Millions in Adelaide.
Mill Park will also offer two youngsters from this family at the 2015 Magic Millions.
