Patinack Farm-owned filly Pretty Pins (3 f Pins – Luna Tudor, by Military Plume) is a promising filly and she showed with a strong win in the $50,000 Whitehouse Investments 3yo Handicap over 1400m at Eagle Farm last Saturday that she has a future in better races. Jockey Jim Byrne believes the chestnut has the scope to be a Group 1 prospect at Eagle Farm during next year’s Brisbane winter carnival.

“She’ll definitely get 2400 metres but she needs to mature,” he said. “At her last run she was never comfortable but it was a different story out there today. It’s difficult for any horse on a heavy track like that, but she was quite comfortable and got a good run. I was able to cut the corner and get onto the back of Our Design and she showed she’s got a big ticker.”

Pretty Pins has only raced three times, winning twice and being placed in the other and there appears more in store according to Patinack Farm’s stable manager in Queensland, Brett Killion. “She’s got a lot of ability and is looking for 1600 metres and further, but there’s not a lot of races around for her at the moment. ‘The way she won today you’d think she should measure up to the better fillies races next winter.”
