High-priced Frankel (GB) colt Significance (Aus) produced the first winning strike of his career at Wyong on Thursday for trainer John O'Shea in a dominating seven-length winning performance. “A scopey, slow maturing colt that is finally putting it all together with racing and experience,” O'Shea tweeted after the victory.
Purchased at the 2018 Inglis Easter Sale, he was secured out of Arrowfield Stud's consignment for A$1.1-million by Domeland. Placed once in five previous appearances, Significance is the first foal of the unraced Oasis Dream (GB) mare Aqua Bella (GB), who was unraced and bought by Badgers Bloodstock for €230,000 at the 2014 Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale. Aqua Bella is a half-sister to the stakes-winner Ame Bleue (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). Their dam is the multiple Group 1 winner Aquarelliste (Fr) (Danehill {Ire}).
