Duality (AUS) 3 g Toorak Toff – Noisy Feet by Tapit
Promising three-year-old Duality (Toorak Toff) followed up his second on debut in a 3YO Maiden (1225m) at Geelong on 29 April with an eye-catching win at Sandown Hillside on Wednesday.
The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained gelding showed good pace from his wide barrier in 14 under jockey Stephen Baster and he was soon able to work across to the lead in the 14-runner field.
He then travelled well, got a break on his rivals at the 300 metres and held on bravely to win well despite working for most of the race, beating Mount Kilcoy (High Chaparral) by half a length into second.
Bred and raced by Rosemont Stud, the three-year-old son of Toorak Toff (Show A Heart) is the only foal to date out of the US stakes winner Noisy Feet (Tapit), herself a sister to Grade Three-winning filly Touching Beauty).
His second dam is the stakes-winning mare Victory Road (Ikari), who also produced Grade Two placegetter Tritap (Tapit) alongside Noisy Feet and Touching Beauty and is a half-sister to the stakes winner Tin Smithen (The Name’s Jimmy).
His fourth dam is the prolific, multiple stakes winner Talc Shaker (Talc), while this is also the same family as Grade Three winner Dewars Rocks (Big Mukora) and the stakes winners She’s A Shaker (Carr De Naskra), Shake Loose (Son Of Briartic), Fortified Effort (Ez Effort), Prospector’s Blues (Benton Creek) and Molly’s Honour (Etesaal).
Duality’s Rosemont Stud-based sire Toorak Toff has so far been represented by 58 winners, with his progeny headed by Group Three-placed Toffee Nose, and he will stand for a fee of $8,800 (inc GST) this year.
