Acquitted, out of Irish broodmare purchase Blameless, gained a deserved stakes success on Saturday with an impressive win in the Listed Roku Gin Tails Stakes at Doomben in Australia.
From the first crop of Night Of Thunder and raised in Ireland at Blakestown Stud and then Ballylinch Stud, Acquitted is the second foal out of Blameless, an Authorized mare from a top Chilean family who was bought for just €22,000 at the Goffs November Sale. The first foal out of Blameless was a Ruler Of The World filly named Blame The Ruler, who was a winner for Arturo Cousino at Clairefontaine in France.
Acquitted was a smart horse in Europe who actually defeated multiple Group 1 winner Mishriff as a two-year-old and ran champion miler Palace Pier close at three. We still manage part of this family on behalf its owner, with a two-year-old filly in training in Ireland among its current representatives.
