Champion Thoroughbreds | Champion Thoroughbreds News 64871 Crown Caps Carnival Double

Wear The Crown completed a winning double for the Champion silks at the Wagga Carnival, producing a determined performance to land Thursday's Class 3 1000m and follow up Spread The Love's Day 1 success.

The impeccably bred daughter of I Am Invincible continued her rapid rise, making it three wins from just four starts and underlining her status as a filly of real promise. With Alysha Collett aboard, she jumped cleanly from the inside alley and settled in the box seat in the 10-horse field.

The genuine early tempo over the sharp five furlongs didn’t entirely play to her strengths and she was asked for an effort approaching the home bend, but her class came to the fore when it mattered. Digging deep, she lengthened smartly to score by a narrow margin over the closing Cambar.

Collett was full of praise post-race.
“She’s come back a much stronger filly this time in,” she said. “She’s definitely heading the right way.”

Trainer Danielle Seib now looks toward the Listed Denise’s Joy Stakes (1100m) at Scone in search for some very valuable black-type. 

A $260,000 purchase from the 2024 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, Wear The Crown is already shaping as an attractive future broodmare. She is out of the multiple stakes-winning Snitzel mare Macroura, a three-quarter sister to Group 1 winner Sunshine In Paris, further enhancing an already deep page.
