One Kiss Notches First Stakes Winner for Season

17 September 2022

The Elsdon Park-filly One Kiss (Tivaci) notched the landmark first stakes winner for the season today, with a smart win in the Listed Canterbury Belle Stakes (1200m) at Riccarton.

The win came at just her second start, with the Mark Walker-trained 3YO powering home under jockey Opie Bosson to hold her nearest rival by three-quarters of a length.

The win is made particularly special as not only did Lib and Katrina breed her, but they also raced her sire Tivaci.

Looking ahead, One Kiss holds a nomination for the Gr.1 Barneswood Farm 50th New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton Park on November 12.

This marks the second stakes winner for One Kiss’s dam Discreet Evening (USA) (Discreet Cat), with her Savabeel daughter Santa Catarina having won the Listed Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre Stakes.

Discreet Evening is booked to visit Tivaci at Waikato Stud this season, whilst daughter Santa Catarina carries a pregnancy to Alabama Express and is due to foal any day now at Elsdon Park.
