On Sunday night in Hobart the first season sire Capt Midnight produced his first 2yo winner when his daughter Daisypea thrashed her opposition with a 27-metre win in the $14,000 2yo race.
Trained by Tammy Langley and driven by her nephew Mitch Ford, Daisypea also collected a Tasbred $10,000 First Win Bonus for her owner Tiarna Ford.
Having just her second start in a race Daisypea covered the mile in 1:59.7 and came home the final half in 58.7 seconds.

Lot 48, on account of Matthew McCaffrey, is a colt by Capt Midnight from the New Zealand bred Real Desire mare Real Star which won eight races.
Real Star’s first foal Gracenava has a record of 1:55.0 with her eight wins yielding $80,735 after placing third at Redcliffe last Thursday.
