New Zealand-bred filly Marble Arch (NZ) (Per Incanto) continued her unbeaten run in Australia when victorious in the A$300,000 Future Stars Final (1400m) at Pakenham on Thursday.

The daughter of Per Incanto extended her winning streak to three since joining Ben and JD Hayes’ Flemington barn, giving an immediate return to her new connections.

“With her, it was perfect timing. We bought her from New Zealand, she looked very progressive, and these races came along,” Ben Hayes told Racing.com.

“The ownership group is having a great ride and they’ve already paid for her.

“I think it’s a series they should definitely keep going because it gives people such great opportunity.”

Jockey Daniel Stackhouse was rapt with the result and believes Marble Arch has a bright future.

“She is pretty raw and untapped. I think she will get better as she gets further,” Stackhouse said.

Marble Arch was purchased privately by the Lindsay Park team after finishing third at Wanganui in her only start in New Zealand for trainer Wayne Marshment.

She continued the stable’s great run with progeny of Little Avondale Stud stallion Per Incanto, highlighted by Little Brose win Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Sandown last Saturday.
