Our promising young sire Deep Field produced his fourth winner for the season with an impressive debutante at Bunbury.
Trained by Daniel and Ben Pearce, and ridden by Jarrod Noske, Dig Deep was ridden patiently early, settling rearwards but made a quick-fire move rounding the home turn and keep going impressively to get away from the opposition in the final 100 metres and win by over a length.
Dig Deep is a gelding by Deep Field out of the NZ bred Lucky Ana, a half-sister by Lucky Unicorn to Group III winner Estelle Collection, dam of champion sprinter and Australian Horse of the Year Lankan Rupee.
It’s a famous New Zealand family which goes back to the likes of Grosvenor, National Gallery, Mahaya and Lonhro.
He was a $100,000 purchase for Pearce Racing from the Gold Front Thoroughbreds draft at the Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale.
Dig Deep becomes the fourth winner for Deep Field who also has the stakes placed duo of Hawker Hurricane and Cosmic Force.
