Wild Planet gave his sire Simon Snorkel a timely boost by easily winning a three-year-old maiden race at Wingatui yesterday.
Simon Snorkel is struggling to attract mares with his oldest progeny three-year-olds. Wild Planet is his first winner.
"He [Simon Snorkel] has had three to race and another two, Run For Some and Sintaine have been placed," Michael Stokes, a part-owner of Simon Snorkel said.
"He has only had a few mares booked for this season, so this win could be a big help."
Stokes shares the ownership of Wild Planet with Chris Rowe.
