Out of the Guillotine mare Tricoteuse he was sold at the 2025 @KarakaChat Ready To Run sale though the draft of @KBBloodstock.

Ready to Run Sale Trifecta in Rotorua Cup

NZB Ready to Run Sale graduates finished first, second and third in Saturday’s $100,000 Listed Campbell Infrastructure Rotorua Cup (2200m), headed by an underrated gelding who is taking his career to new heights.🎉

#Pacifico (NZ) (Ardrossan) went through the 2022 Ready to Run Sale at Karaka as a member of the KB Bloodstock draft, but did not meet his $75,000 reserve. He has had 26 starts for seven wins and eight placings, earning $249,665 for his owner-breeders Jomara Bloodstock👏🏻

Forsman has been proud of Pacifico’s progress.

“He is a neat horse and just so honest,” he said.

“He is a horse that keeps surprising, keeps stepping up and is getting better and better with age. Now that he’s won over ground, it opens up a lot more options for him.

Stylish Secret (NZ) (Sweet Orange) snatched the DCE Handicap (2000m) at Caulfield in a thrilling start to the day. Jockey Luke Cartwright needed every metre of the trip to land the victory right on the line aboard the New Zealand-bred gelding, who is trained by Mick Nolan.

It was the four-year-old’s fifth win from 25 starts. Stylish Secret was purchased in New Zealand as a weanling for just $2,300 on @gavelhouse .com from the draft of @WindsorParkStud.
