Scandalo, a $15,000 gavelhouse.com New Zealand purchase in January, has since returned his owner-trainer Patrick Campbell over $40,000 with an impressive win first up on Saturday heralding the start of what should be a lucrative preparation.
First up over 1400m, the son of Shocking and stakes-placed Savabeel mare Grandissima let down impressively for Mark du Plessis with a neck the winning margin over the well-bred Rogerson-trained runner Legramor.
Originally trained in the South Island, Scandalo was offered for sale on account of Brian Court as a maiden who had shown some promise over last year’s carnival at Riccarton.
