Son of Oratorio, 8 yo Mourinho, won the 1800m Gr 1 Hyland Race Colours Underwood Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday, seeing off the favourites and thrilling his fans!
This win is also significant for Avontuur Estate, where super sire Oratorio stands to stud, and with his first SA Yearlings up for sale at the January 2016 Cape Premiere Yearling Sale, Avontuur GM Pippa Mickleburgh is looking forward to seeing them perform on tracks around the country soon thereafter.
Comments in the racing press highlight the fact that his offspring seem to produce the goods especially well around 2000m, which makes them exciting additions to the industry in this country.
A full book is keeping Oratorio busy at the moment, and Avontuur Estate is proud to be associated with this classy performer.
