Previously a Listed winner at three in Ireland, the now seven-year-old Barronstown Stud-bred Orderofthegarter was winning for the first time in Australia.
He is the best winner out of Kitty Kiernan (Pivotal), twice a winner in Ireland and runner-ip in the Gr3 Fillies’ Sprint Stakes at Naas.
The granddam Alstemeria (Danehill) is a sister to three stakes winners including Gr1 Phoenix Stakes and Gran Criterium winner Spartacus and Hong Kong Derby winner Johan Cruyff.
