Stolen Dance has left the Cambridge stable of Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman to begin the next stage of her career.
The Alamosa mare, who is in foal to Tavistock, signed off in perfect fashion when she triumphed in Saturday’s Gr.1 Thorndon Mile (1600m) at Trentham.
“She went off this morning,” Baker said. “It was a really satisfying win, she’s a valuable broodmare now.”
While there was joy in the Stolen Dance camp, there was disappointment for the connections of Love Affair, who beat only one runner home in the Thorndon.
“We can’t find anything wrong with her,” Baker said. “She’s gone back to Waikato Stud for a break, she’s a very good horse.”
The winner of four of her seven starts, Love Affair had finished runner-up in the Gr.2 Cal Isuzu Stakes (1600m) at Te Rapa at her previous start.
