May 7, 2012Newhaven Park bred ‘Harpers’ Scores Again
Scoring at her second start on the Geelong synthetic track was the Peter Snowden trained Exceed and Excel filly Harpers, who was a market drifter, but still won the 1100 metre juvenile maiden easily by two and three-quarter lengths.
A $430,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Darley from the Newhaven Park draft, Harpers (pictured as a yearling) is the second winner for Group II winner Media, a half-sister to another Group II winner Timbourina.
Harpers was the most expensive filly by Exceed and Excel sold in 2011 and is his ninth Australian two year-old winner this season.
