A dead heat in a competitive juvenile maiden at Pakenham on Thursday evening produced a fourth winner for first season sire Brutal, but Barbaric Lad had to share the spoils as he hit the line at the exact same time as Brave Smash (Jpn) filly She Smashes.

Both horses were having their second start, the Anthony and Sam Freedman trained Barbaric Lad coming off a debut third to Flyer at Sandown, while the Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman trained She Smashes was third on debut at Pakenham at the start of the month.

She Smashes looked the winner with a furlong to run, but Barbaric Lad surged late to put his head next to hers on the line with the judge declaring a dead heat in the 1200m juvenile maiden.

She Smashes was a $100,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Two Bays Farm draft for Moody Racing and is the third winner from three to race from Blue Ocean, a winning half-sister by Fastnet Rock to stakes-winner Little Surfer Girl, the dam of $7.5million earning triple Group I winner Fangirl.

She Smashes is the first two year-old winner this season for Brave Smash, whose quality colt Brave Mead runs in the Group III MRC Zeditave Stakes on Saturday.
