Lynward Park mare Krysanova claimed her first victory since moving to Victoria when leading at every call in the Bet365 Hcp (1000m) at Seymour on Wednesday.
Krysanova is a first-crop daughter of Lynward Park stallion Bondi (Snitzel) and is also his first winner interstate. A 2yo debut winner at Ascot in March 2023, she transferred to Mornington trainer Cliff Brown earlier this season and had been unplaced in three 55 Second Challenges (955m) at Moonee Valley before the breakthrough on Wednesday.
“She can be tricky and we’ve had to be patient,” stable foreman Tony Lane said as Dan Stackhouse brought her back to scale. “She gives our track rider Clayton hell every morning but she’s improving all the time and so are her barrier manners. Dan gave her every chance in front today. He was able to give her a breather mid-race and she had a good kick on the home turn.”
Stackhouse revealed he learned a lot riding her for the first time in a Balnarring jump-out earlier this month. “She’s happy when you let her flow. I got the pony to lead her down to the start and I had a plan in the gates. That’s where she won it.
“She jumped and I was able to rate her. She did everything right and held on to get the job done.”
Krysanova is one of five winners from All Friared Up (Blackfriars) who won a LR Beaufine Stakes (1000m) at Belmont for Oakland Park in 2011. After commencing her stud career in NSW, she changed hands at the 2019 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale on the Gold Coast when agent John Chalmers bid $50,000 on behalf of Lynward Park.
Lynward Park has entered a Bondi full-brother to Krysanova at the Perth Magic Millions Yearling Sale next Friday, 21 February. The chestnut colt is catalogued as Lot 333 and is the last but not least of 8 yearlings being prepped at Bullsbrook by Troy van Heemst.
First to parade as Lot 51 is the Playing God half-brother to LR ATA Stakes (2200m) winner Queen Alina (Mahuta) closely followed by Lot 53, another well-bred colt by Bivouac from black-type mare How to Fly (Written Tycoon).
