Big Brown Looking At A Stakes Winner
Big Brown, a Classic winner himself having won two Derbies, is now on the fringe of siring his first Classic winner in Australia, when Dawnie Perfect steps out in the Oaks in just under three weeks.
She was bred, and is raced by John Singleton, trained by Clarrie Connors at Warwick Farm and ridden by Jim Cassidy, a proven winning trio.
Clarrie was on the missing list on Saturday, son Mark did the honours, however, you can take short odds, positions will be reversed on Oaks day.
Besides his Caulfield winner in Dawnie Perfect, Big Brown was also responsible for siring Frank Heavens at Murray Bridge, he scored pretty well over 1600 metres.
Dawnie Perfect appears as if she will get the of 2400 metres of the Oaks, she came from a fair way back in the Ethereal Stakes, the win was a strong pointer for the Classic.

Her sire, Big Brown, who stands at Vinery in the Hunter Valley, had a field day, at Randwick on Saturday, when the stud’s sires were represented with four winners on the nine race card.
More Than Ready, one of those remarkable sires that goes from strength to strength, he sired the second winner of the day, Montauk, and completed a double with Nayeli in the last race.
Dothraki completed a good win for the Snowden partnership, Peter and Paul, following on the success rate for Mossman; he is having another good season proving a very reliable sire.
Husson, the unbeaten South American champion, has been on a winning streak of late, the third of Vinery’sires to get a winner at Randwick when Moral Victory scored for Tim Martin.
