Racehorse TALK

Gai Waterhouse is already coping brickbats for going overboard with the win of Pierro, but by gee by gingo by crikey I think she is entitled to.

I doubt there as been a stouter pedigree win an early season 2yo race in Australia. For him to do that at this time of year is incredible. His 3rd dam Criquette by Shirley Heights won a 2yo listed race in October 92 over 7 furlongs.

Incredible pedigree.
