DIS DAH WUN'S FINE RUN OF FORM CONTINUES

By Graham Potter | Saturday, August 7, 2021

Dis Dah Wun continued her fine run of form for the Sears stable when she finished second behind She Can Sing in a Fillies and Mares No Metro Win Handicap over 1200m at Doomben on August 7.

The daughter of Dissident transferred from the John, Michael and Wayne Hawkes stable to the Sears training yard in October 2020. She arrived with limited race experience … she only had two races under her belt and had placed on both occasions.

After a trial at Toowoomba on October 13, the Sears team deemed Dis Dah Wun was ready to resume racing. How right they were as Dis Dah Wan duly proceeded to win three times in a row in only a month (from October 24 to November 25, 2020) … winning in a Maiden, a Class 1 and a Filles And Mares BM 65.

She then has a three-and-a-half month spell before coming back and adding another success to her winning sequence (taking it to four) by saluting in a BM70 contest.

Those wins were shared by runs at Ipswich (two wins) and Toowoomba (two wins) and Dis Dah Wun then stepped up to Saturday Metropolitan company where she showed to fair advantage when finishing fourth in a BM72 at Eagle Farm.

She then went back to Toowoomba and finished second in a BM 72 in a run which completed her four-year-old campaign.

Metropolitan racng beckoned again for Dis Dah Wun’s first outing as a five-year-old, and that brought her to the August 7 run at Doomben.

Given a beautiful run of the race along the rail early on by Leah Kilner, Dis Dah Wun improved from fourth into second place on cornering but, although running on stoutly, Dis Dah Wan could not peg back the free-running frontrunner She Can Sing and she had to settle for a game second place, 0.50 lengths behind the winner.

No cigar, but still a big run in Saturday Metropolitan company … an effort which took Dis Dah Wun’s record under the Tony and Maddysen Sears Racing banner to a healthy four wins, two second places and a fourth place from seven starts … while never having finished more than two lengths behind the winner.
