BALTIC SPIRIT - 2YO WINNER # 8 FOR BEL'S THIRD

Robbie Griffiths has had tremendous success with the Bel Esprit stock and the run continued at Bairnsdale on Friday (26 June) when Baltic Spirit scooted away over the 1000m trip to score a 3.5 panel victory.

Robbie’s Bel winners are Cascabel (two wins), Anquetil (which only cost him $3,000), Beltrois (who ran a great half length third at Sandown on Wednesday) and, now, Baltic Spirit, who was purchased for $60,000 at last year’s Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale.

A half brother to two winners, Baltic Spirit is out of the Anabaa mare, Curvaceous Miss, a daughter of Group One winner Our Heavenly Body. Bred by Nangawooka Park, Baltic Spirit is also closely related to NZ Horse of the Year, Uncle Remus, along with Cossack Prince and Cossack Warrior.

Baltic Spirit is the eighth 2YO winner from Bel Esprit’s third crop and places him equal eighth on the 2YO Sires’ table by winners and on top of the 2YO Sires’ chart among third season sires.
