Nick Moraitis believes Power Of Destiny can make the grade at stud and the Danehill stallion took that first step at Moonee Valley on Friday night.

Destiny’s Kiss carried the famous white, grey and pink silks to his first victory at the same circuit where Nick’s champion galloper Might And Power won the 1998 Cox Plate.

Destiny’s Kiss (3g Power Of Destiny – A Fairy’s Kiss by Stravinsky) won by a nose after placings at Geelong earlier this season.

Power of Destiny (Danehill) was a five length Randwick juvenile winner on Boxing Day, 2004 and followed up with a second to Stratum in the G2 Pago Pago Stakes at Rosehill.  

He split Pendragon and Duelled as a spring three year-old in the G3 Gloaming Stakes at Rosehill but only made two more appearances the following autumn before Moraitis retired him to Macquarie Stud at Wellington in NSW.

Power of Destiny is a brother to 2010-11 Champion WA first-season sire Saxon and he stands for a $4,400 (inc gst) service fee.
