First Stakes winner for Reset

Rebel Raider is impressive winner of G3 Darley Sires' Produce Stakes, Sugar Babe (Exceed And Excel) books her place in the Golden Slipper with a gutsy second in G2 Magic Night Stakes

On another successful Saturday for the Darley stallions, first-season sire Reset recorded his first Stakes winner when Rebel Raider (pictured) ran out the convincing winner of the G3 Darley Sires’ Produce Stakes at Morphettville.

Bursting out of the gates and sent straight to the front, the two-year-old colt was hard pressed by Offsider (Exceed And Excel) in the straight but fought hard and took the one-mile contest by just under half a length.

12 April was Darley day at Rosehill and appropriately, two Darley-sired fillies secured their places in next Saturday’s Golden Slipper when Portillo (Red Ransom) and Sugar Babe (Exceed And Excel) took the first two places in the G2 Magic Night Stakes.

Sugar Babe jumped superbly and sent straight to the front under Damien Oliver, put up yet another magnificent performance and was just caught in the dying strides by Portillo to miss out by a short head.

Meanwhile, Dubai To Sydney (Dubai Destination) added further Black type to his CV when third in the G2 Darley Stakes, also at Rosehill.
