Excites kicked away his siring career in style with his first runner Amber’s Crown an impressive winner at the Gold Coast yesterday.

Allowed to find her feet during the early and middle stages of the race by jockey Scott Galloway, Amber’s Crown powered home from last on the corner to win – racing away late to establish a widening one and three quarter length margin.

Amber’s Crown is prepared by highly regarded Brisbane trainer Steven O’Dea and was purchased by major stable client Joe Rapisarda for $14,000 at the 2009 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale.

The promising filly earned a cool $20,500 by winning at her first racetrack outing.

“She has always shown good ability on the track, but is still a bit green,” O’Dea reported.

“She only had her first trial on Tuesday morning so she’s done a big job in a short time.”

Amber’s Crown will be given a break with feature QTIS 600 races in mind.

“We’ll send her to paddock now and there’s no doubt she will be a better filly next preparation.”

“There is a $250,000 QTIS 600 feature race at the Gold Coast in March co-inciding with the QTIS 600 Yearling Sale – that will be her main aim next prep.”

Amber’s Crown’s sire Excites, a graduate of the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, was a high class son of Danewin – winning the Group One AJC Sires’ Produce Stakes as a two-year-old.

He is from the Light Fingers Stakes winner Staging and is therefore a half brother to Group One winner Duporth and Group Two winner Tickets.

Excites stood this season at Vinery Stud at a service fee of $8,800 (inc GST).

Amber’s Crown’s trainer Steven O’Dea has enjoyed a great start to the new season with his latest crop of two-year-olds – three runners for two winners.

Amber’s Crown’s stablemate Flying Jet raced into contention for the $2 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic in January when a brilliant debut winner in Brisbane recently.

That Jet Spur youngster is currently having a break before returning with Queensland’s richest race in mind.
