QLD Oaks winner Tinto gave sire Red Dazzler his first Gr 1 winner. The 3yo filly’s win was a family affiar. Bred and raced by Grania McAlpine and trained by Toowoomba’s Rex Lipp, a long term friend of Eureka and the McAlpines’, she was ridden to easy victory by Tim Bell in the 2400m Gr 1 event. Tinto (ex Truly Brave by Brave Warrior) has boosted Red Dazzler’s earings to $5.6 million with 88 winners and 231 wins. (1/6/14)
