The Peter Moody-trained Pit Lane (NZ) (Van Nistelrooy) continued on his winning way this past Saturday with an easy victory over 1400m at Sandown.
Lining up for the first time on a Saturday, the two-year-old colt made light work of his top weight of 58kg skipping past race leader Kinugawa (Aus) (Street Cry) at the 200m to go clear by 1 ¾ lengths under jockey Luke Nolen.
Bred by Judi Wanless, Pit Lane was born and raised at Trelawney Stud before heading across the Tasman to embark on a racing career. “He just keeps getting better and better,” said Peter Moody. “We’ll have to start seriously thinking about where we’re going with him,” he said.
Van Nistelrooy has notched up eight winners in recent weeks, four in the USA, two in England, one in Australia and one in Singapore. This weekend, Vanny Fair (NZ), his first ever winner, will line up in the Listed Northland Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) at Ruakaka where she’ll come up against another Trelawney graduate in the form of Martini Red (NZ) (Red Ransom).
