New stakes winner for Father Patrick
22 July 2024
Lucky Mum is the latest stakes winner for Father Patrick, after taking out the Group 3 Queensland Trotters Oaks at Albion Park on Friday night.
The last start Group 1 Great Square placegetter led throughout in the 2138m feature to record her fourth lifetime win and boost her stakes earnings to more than $98,000.
She is out of the Muscle Hill mare Girls On Film, runner-up in the 2018 NZ Trotting Oaks and a three-quarter sister to the Group 1 winners Twentyten and High Gait – making Lucky Mum from the same immediate maternal family as fellow Father Patrick stakes winners High Energy, High Step and Higher Power.
Her win saw Father Patrick maintain an impressive strike rate of 10.5% stakes winners to Southern Hemisphere starters.
