Hong Kong, April 27 – The Class Two sprint over 1200 metres at Sha Tin on Sunday was won by the smart John Moore trained Catbird four year-old Craig’s Dragon, a $150,000 purchase from the Yarraman Park draft at the 2006 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

An ultra consistent performer, Craig’s Dragon has finished no further back than fifth in eight starts this season and notched the fifth win of his career in beating King Encosta by a short head.

Offered by Yarraman on behalf of the Cobcroft family, Craig’s Dragon was the only yearling by Catbird offered at Easter that year.

A half-brother to 12 other winners, Craig’s Dragon is the 13th living foal of outstanding broodmare Steam Heat who passed away in 2006.

A prolific producer, the Salieri (USA) mare left a host of winners including the brilliant Group Three winner Hot as Hell and equally smart Listed winner Flaming Hot, who were interestingly sired by County, a Vain horse from the same female family as Craig’s Dragon’s sire Catbird.
