The Listed Clamms Seafood Stakes (1100 metres) at Caulfield last Saturday produced a close finish with the talented Show A Heart gelding Rightfully Yours just doing enough to outlast Stanzout.

Rightfully Yours, a 6 year old gelding trained by Mick Price, continued to improve his impressive first-up record when recording his 4th (fresh) win from his 6 preparations. It is worth noting that now 40% of Rightfully Yours' 10 career wins come from his fresh reappearance on the racetrack. The only two occasions that Rightfully Yours failed to win when fresh came from his debut in September 2007 when a 4th behind the talented Sound Journey at Kilmore; and in May of 2009 when narrowly beaten and 2nd in the Listed Prime Minister’s Cup at the Gold Coast behind Mr Hornblower.
Being by Show A Heart and out of Academy Of Dreams, Rightfully Yours is a full brother to the exceptionally talented Heart Of Dreams (G1 Underwood Stakes; G1 Cadbury Guineas). As well as being brothers, the bay geldings are stablemates, with Mick Price training both.
Rightfully Yours was sold at the 2006 William Inglis and Son Classic Yearling Sale for $55,000 to Mick Price Racing & Breeding Pty Ltd.
Academy Of Dreams has been returned to Show A Heart in the past six seasons, and has produced a grey brother in 2006, Dreams To Life, who was beaten 2.5 lengths into 5th placing in a Benalla Maiden on debut in May 2010. In 2007 another grey brother was produced, Dreams To Silk, also debuting in 2010 when a well beaten 11th in a Geelong Maiden in July 2010. Both of these also trained by Mick Price at Caulfield.
It does appear that the bay progeny of Show A Heart - Academy Of Dreams provide a greater expectation of racetrack success than their grey brothers.
Stretched across the track at the 200 metres the grey Stanzout (2nd) has the weakening brown/black Solchow (6th) on his inside - with the bay winner Rightfully Yours on the inside rail.
