Smiling Prophet has returned to form with a tidy win at Scone.
The daughter of the former Caulfield Guineas winner and now Highview Stud stallion Divine Prophet had been in consistent form at the end of 2024 and the team were confident that she would be able to return to the winner’s stall shortly after her summer break.
The win was another for apprentice William who summed up the slow early pace perfectly, and despite finding himself wide on the track, sent the mare forward before powering away to a commanding win.
Smiling Prophet was a purchase by Mark Minervini from the Evergreen Stud draft at the 2021 Inglis HTBA Yearling Sale and the Scone win was her fifth, with stake earnings of over $178,000.
Congratulations to her owners, to her owners Hadyn Abel, Alex Heathcote, Steve Roberts, Andrew & Nick Shalhoub, Dailey Racing (Mgr: Bob Dailey), Harts Racing (Mgr: Rick Fitzpatrick), Minervini Racing (Mgr: Michelle Minervini) & Bullgang (Mgr: Jimmy Roberts).
