A Very Showy Chloe

Maiden galloper, Showy Chloe (Mitchell Pateman), showed them a clean pair of heels to trounce the opposition in the  group III WA Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) by four and three quarter lengths.

 Saxophonist (Paul Harvey) worked home well from last position, for most of the race, to run second with Black Cuban (Jason Whiting) a paddling third.

Trainer Jason Pateman said this was his “best win by a long way,” as a trainer.

“To see her kick clear like that really took the pressure off because although this is her first win she was a strongly fancied,” Pateman said.

Showy Chloe has run third at all three of her previous starts but has attacked the line strongly and was not disgraced in her last start effort, behind boom colt Lucky Street in the Karrakatta Plate (1200m).

Showing her liking for more ground- this was her first run over 1400m- she quickly reeled in pacemaker, Senso, and put the race beyond doubt at the 200m mark.

Pateman became a little emotional recalling his late brother, trainer Michael Pateman, who lost a battle with cancer in July 2013.

The trainer said Showy Chloe would now go out for a spell and her mission, upon returning, would be the Champion Fillies Stakes, in November.

Showy Chloe’s sire , Alfred Nobel (IRE), is standing this season at Lynward Park Stud, Bullsbrook.
