There’s been plenty of talk about the BOBS scheme in recent weeks, but for connections of the Gai Waterhouse trained three year old ARIANTE it’s been a real winner.

A strongly built gelding by Filante, Ariante was purchased by Denise Martin’s Star Thoroughbreds at the 2001 Classic Yearling Sale for $24,000 and syndicated into six shares, five taken up by first time owners.

The newcomers to racing didn’t have to wait long to see a return on their investment with Ariante saluting on debut at Kembla in June last year. Since then, he’s won a further three races in the metropolitan area claiming $50,000 worth of BOBS bonuses, a significant boost to his overall prizemoney which now stands at $147,180.

Judging by the powerful finishing burst that carried Ariante to victory at Rosehill on Saturday, there will be many more wins in store.
