Holdontoyahorses maintained her unbeaten record with an effortless victory in the Thomas North Plate (1100m) at Caulfield on Saturday.  The Mick Price trained sprinted to a winning lead at the furlong to defeat Flor Do Mar (Dash For Cash) and Redangelo (Testa Rossa).

Holdontoyahorses (2f Dane Shadow – Dorothy Dinosaur by Canny Lad) had won on debut at Seymour last month and improved again on her home track second-up.  “I was expecting a big run after she worked really well on Tuesday,” winning jockey Damien Oliver said.  “She showed a nice turn of foot and might be a chance for the Blue Diamond.”

Holdontoyahorses was passed-in for $47,500 at the 2010 Inglis Classic yearling sale.  Dane Shadow upgraded the bottom half of her pedigree.  Her dam Dorothy Dinosaur retired a maiden after 17 starts and there’s no black-type to speak of in her immediate family.

Dorothy Dinosaur’s first foal to race is the Barb Joseph trained Fill The Page (Dane Shadow) who was an unlucky runner-up at Queanbeyan when last seen in October.  The mare has a yearling filly by Dane Shadow and she foaled a colt by Myboycharlie in September.

Kitchwin Hills sire Dane Shadow has two yearlings catalogued for the Magic Millions and another nine for the Inglis Classic starting on January 23.
