A luckless sixth in the Listed ATC Reginald Allen Quality at Randwick, Bob Hannon’s homebred Deep Field filly Razeta came with a barnstorming finish to capture the Listed VRC Off The Track Desirable Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on Thursday.

Ridden by Hugh Bowman for Kris Lees, she powered home to defeat the well-supported Grey River by a length.

A winner at Wyong when on debut in June, Razeta advances her record to two wins and a second from five starts with earnings of $147,440.

“She didn’t have a great deal of luck in the Reginald Allen, she stepped straight from 1100 to there and that really topped her off for today,” said Kris Lees, who credited Bob Hannon with the decision to run in the Desirable.

“She was in at Randwick on Tuesday, in just a benchmark race, and Bobby Hannon, he pushed me into running, so I’ve got to give credit to him.

“She’s a valuable filly with a nice pedigree, and it’s just got a little bit better.

“I don’t think we’ll go too far this preparation with her. I think we’re going to have a really nice filly in the autumn. We’ll just see how she comes through today.

“I think she showed today she can measure up to the better fillies next time around.”

A sister to Newgate Farm’s Group II ATC Roman Consul Stakes winner, Cosmic Force, and half-sister to stakes-winner Onemorezeta, Razeta is the third stakes-winner and seventh winner overall from eight to race out of the Commands mare Little Zeta.

Descending from the family of Dark Jewels’ half-sister Nippy Vista, Little Zeta has a 2yo colt by Deep Field who was a $170,000 purchase for Upper Bloodstock from the Ascot Park draft at the 2022 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.and is entered for the NZB Reay To Run Sale

Little Zeta has a yearling filly by Capitalist.

Razeta is the 21st stakes-winner for Newgate Farm’s Deep Field.
