Onwards to SA Derby for Hioctdane

27th Apr 2013

In Adelaide the Richard Jolly purchased and trained three-year-old Hioctdane ($46,000 2011 Classic, 3g Strada-Autobahn) continued his march towards the Group 1 SA Derby next week with a super impressive five length victory in the Group 2 SAJC Chairman’s Stakes over 2000m at Morphettville.

The Inglis Classic purchase has been set for the Derby since recording his first black-type victory in the Listed Hill Smith Stakes over 1800m last October. Today’s win proves he will be the one to beat in the $500,000 2500m Group 1 classic on 4 May.

By Strada from a daughter of Octagonal, Hioctdane (pictured as yearling) was bred by Forgotten Valley Stud and sold from their draft to Richard Jolly for $46,000 at the 2011 Inglis Sydney Classic Yearling Sale.

The dark brown three-year-old has now earned $145,000 for his connections thanks to three wins and two placings from just eight career starts.
