The Econsul mare scored by a half-head on Sunday after taking the length of the straight to collar Bermuda Blu.  She was previously prepared by the late Guy Walter and has now earned over $170,000.

Joe has done a terrific job with this mare and she was cherry ripe today,” jockey Kathy O’Hara said.  “She always showed a bit of promise with Guy and she will go further.  She’s a much stronger mare this time and I think the best is yet to come.”

Divertire (5m Econsul – Paris Sweep by End Sweep) had won her first race at Randwick in April 2013 and doubled up at Warwick Farm and Randwick earlier this year.  She is from a half-sister to Champion South African 2YO Colt Rarotonga Treaty and cost $21,000 at the 2011 Inglis Melbourne Autumn yearling sale.

Econsul is covering his second book in Western Australia for a $4,400 (inc gst) service fee at Darling View Thoroughbreds in Mundijong.
